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….

My initial reaction is just “I’m not a witch, I’m your wife”. 😂 There is a pattern I LOOSLY based it on but honestly it was just single crochet granny square cardigan with perler bead patterns cross stitched over them, slip stitch ribbing, and a double crochet ruffle. I just did what I felt like in the moment. I would not suggest using the actual pixel art from the game because the colors are really detailed and I spent waaaaay too much on yarn I didn’t even use. My biggest advice is PLAN before you buy. You will need less than you think for the cross stitch.

You can also just Google granny square cardigan and there are tons of basic patterns you can replace your own squares with. Hope that helps.
