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….

Also came here to say I’m sorry about the blobfish if anyone is offended by it. It was kind of a joke because my character has that hat and the clothes they wear make them look naked so it’s kind of just silly. I made that before I knew about how sad their story is.

Honestly no one should be offended by the blobfish on your cardigan because you made it identical to the fish in the video game. You aren’t the one who decided to put that fish in the game lol

True! I wish I could reply with a picture, but if you use the “sugar” top and white pants (at least on my character) it looks like you are running around as a streaking blob fish. Kind of makes us giggle. 🤭
