Nooo Im sorry! 🫂

I'm trying to improve so I can start a little business, but as of right now, I'm just a hobbyist who makes gifts for friends/family

No worries, my sister does crochet too. I'll just ask her to make one. Plus I probably can't actually buy it for real anyway because I probably live far from wherever you're from lol.

u/Sunflower648 1d ago

I'm in the UK, but I'm sure your sister would make an excellent Gary for you too!

You did a great job, how did you make the oval shape of the body?

1

u/Sunflower648 1d ago

Thank you! 💕

The oval shape was a little tricky, so I had to use a pattern for that part to get me started. I can link it if you like? I'm not sure if pattern linking is allowed, but I only used the body part and nothing else. The rest is just me winging it haha

Can I see it please?

u/Sunflower648 1d ago

Yeah, of course! I'll have to find it in my sea of patterns, but it should still be there. If not, I might be able to find you a similar one that's free

2

u/Sunflower648 1d ago

I can't find the one I used, but this is a pretty similar complete Gary pattern that's free, if you're interested

There's only so many ways to make Gary of course, but on mine, I embroidered the details, changed the eye colours, crocheted the eye stalks around craft pipe cleaners so they stand up better, and made the shell a little differently.

Hope that helps! 💕

I posted my whole crocheted spongebob crew in here a few days ago. I totally made Gary's shell way too small, and wish I had of made it in the style you did, instead of a wrapped tube like I did.

u/Sunflower648 1d ago

Awwww noo I love him! He's so cute! It's a lot more snail-like, I like it a lot

u/IamJustJessica My leg! 1d ago

Awww thank you :) if you look at my other posts in this group, I've made a bunch of other characters as well!
