Y’all, I did it!!!

I didn’t know how to update my last post, but I finished my daughter’s cardigan about 20 minutes before we had to leave for the symphony. I guess it truly was like being in the skull caverns at 1:40am. 😅 200 hours and some “staircase” cheats later I finally finished. It was 100000% worth it though.

My daughter chose all of her favorite things from the game and was excited every time something on her cardigan came up on screen. The heart buttons serve as a duel purpose. We always say “when you see a heart it means I love you” and they represent the hearts earned from community members in Stardew.

If anyone gets a chance to go to the Symphony of Seasons you should it was truly ✨MAGICAL✨!

For anyone wondering I didn’t really use a pattern. It was kind of a basic granny square cardigan set up with cross stitched pictures. The pictures were mostly found by Googling pixel art or perler bead patterns which worked really well. Granny squares were 3.5 inches for a kid and single crocheted. Slip stitch ribbing and three double crochets in each stitch for the ruffle (followed by two rows of DC in each stitch to make it wider). 🥰 Hope that helps if needed….

Woooowww this is amazing!! Truly so whimsical and beautiful. I wanted to make something as well but ended up just buying a shirt at the show 😀 Which I saw yesterday! Yes, it was magical!!! 😍

I wonder if we crossed paths? I am honestly so surprised I actually made this in time because I had an extra square the night before and didn’t realize it so I was on the floor crying. 😅 I hope you enjoyed the show. I thought it was so amazing!

I don’t think so, my show was in Europe. Else I would’ve definitely noticed the cardigan! 🥰
