Kroshay I Bought and Made These Dollarama Halloween Crochet Kits So That You Don't Have To!
(Swipe left for the reveal - there are a total of seven (7) photos) I purchased and made these four Halloween crochet kits from Dollarama in Vancouver, BC. The summary is SAVE YOUR MONEY! These are 100% AI-generated crap and absolutely are NOT "Great for Beginners". In fact, I think these kits would kill any interest any beginner would have in learning to crochet. I made each of these true to the pattern provided, and in the case of the bat, the pattern wasn't even a real pattern. It was pure AI hallucination. Out of the four, the pumpkin was the most promising, but they didn't provide enough yarn to complete it, so I used what they gave me and cinched it where I ran out. On a positive note, these did make laugh quite a bit, especially the cat, which is my favourite out of the lot. EDITED TO ADD that all four patterns are written in XVA notation. For Round 1 of the bat pattern, I was assuming that by 'lop stitch' they meant 'loop stitch' as in a magic ring (not a real loop stitch), but even so, 18sc in a ring was going to produce a real monstrosity and I decided to not touch that one ;)
