My first patchwork cardigan which I started last November and finished in March. Sewing on the granny squares together was messy but I learned a lot since then. I’ll probably not make another one since it was very tedious.

I designed the pixel art for the bug designs myself! I am very happy with this :)

If you can't buy Stray Kids merch, homemade is fine! I'm crocheting a cardigan out of patches with the Kpop group Stray Kids' Skzoo characters.

So all my (many) bookbinding projects have been on hold lately because I've fallen down the rabbit hole that is crocheting...

.

(Ramblings under the cut)

The idea for this project spawned from a Tiktok video of a crocheted skzoo tote bag. (Fyp refreshed before I could save the it 😭). Initially I was going to make one with Leebit on one side and an Oddinary version of Leebit on the other, but the panels ended up smaller than expected. So onto Plan B: a patchwork cardigan!

The main body will be the 8 skzoo patches, one for each Stray Kids member. Then I'll crochet some sleeves, and finish it with trim/cuffs.

I have never crocheted anything, nor made a sweater of any description before in my life. Didn't practice before getting started on the first patch either. I don't know what I'm doing, but I'm doing it anyways and having a lot of fun! (It's nice to have something to do with my hands as I watch TV. Also, a soothing way to start to the day, crocheting while having my morning caffeine-fix!)

The first one(s) are a mess, but they're going into the cardigan. Will it look bad? Yes, but it shows the progress I've made, as my skill slowly but surely improves. It'll be really rewarding to see in the end. (That's my story, and I'm sticking to it)

Here's to hoping I'll actually finish this project, and it doesn't end up joining many other projects indefinitely on hiatus...
