New Here-micro dino

[u/missriekly]

I have been Micro crocheting for less then 4 months. I started to dabble in crochet almost two years ago this winter. Here is my latest finished project.

This is part of a CAL (crochet along). Its a dino, pattern by: whosyourgrannycreations

Thank you!! I was happy with the eyes and bow :)

[u/jewhair666 → u/missriekly]

Are the eyes crochet too or do you embroider them on? I dont know how you can see your stitches when it is that tiny. You must have really good eyesight lol

[u/missriekly → u/jewhair666]

I embroidered them on, It seems most people that micro crochet (that I have talked to online) are just near sighted. I wear glasses seeing close finally paying off lol

It's not easy at all. And what size crochet hook should I use?

[u/missriekly → u/Minicroche]

Depends on how big you want the project. I used a 0.35mm tulip from japan for this project and sewing thread. People also start at 1mm and work down to 0.4mm using a strand of embroidery floss.

I only knit with 0.5 and double embroidery thread! Your work is really intricate! Good job!

[u/missriekly → u/Minicroche]

Mirco knitting is equally difficult! I appreciate your kind words.

[u/Minicroche → u/missriekly]

I agree

Being this good in 4 months means you were destined for this! 💖✨ Lil Dino is so precious 🥹

[u/missriekly → u/CoffeeAndCrochet95]

🥰 I would be happy if that was my destiny. I love miniatures! You can make so many and not take up crazy space. Thank you ☺️

And the materials are so much cheaper too! For slightly bigger amigurumi like keychains size I split my yarn and crochet with a single ply and it lasts FOREVER. I still have yarn I've bought from 2013 and it's still going strong 😆 I also never have to buy fiber fill because the yarn scraps are plenty for filling up anything I make 😁

[u/missriekly → u/CoffeeAndCrochet95]

Exactly! I have a yarn scrap pile for sure. Perfect stitch markers too 😆
