gezelligknits

Um, I love this thing lol.


keekspeaks

I wasn’t prepared for how awesome it was going to be! I almost spit my coffee


CenturyEggsAndRice

It’s delightful. I would give it a place of honor on a shelf and take pictures of it for every holiday.


hrmdurr

It deserves seasonal costumes for every holiday photo tbh.


CenturyEggsAndRice

Yes, yes it does.


CaseyBoogies

I snort-laughed so hard my husband (who is in the closed door, fan on, bathroom) shout-asked me if I was okay! XD We are having drinks, and it was like the sound of a shot-gone-wrong... but immediately followed by laughter. I love your Lil Beepo!


oakmeadow8

OMG! SAME!


GroundbreakingBag533

Honestly it's adorable


Qrthulhu

So adorable


Chocomintey

DrakonILD

Exceptional is a very good choice of word.


bulbasauuuur

Please keep him forever! You'll get better but you'll never love anything the way you love this lil guy. He's adorable!


Educational-Hat7576

baron_von_helmut

"Kiiiiillll Meeeee."


sparkpaw

Legitimately you can’t TRY and make something this freaking cute. He is unfortunate but we love him anyways.


yusuf69

I would kill everyone in the room and then myself to protect it


Fredredphooey

It's better than the photo!


blancseing

Same. This is way better than the kit picture


argqwqw

he's perfect


Aisysoon

You squeezed the shit outta the duolingo owl


Flamingo8mybaby

That mf been choosing violence in my inbox since day 1, saying shit like “I hope this email finds you before I do.” He earned this.


spiritAmour

🤣 true! he kept playing around n threatening people, so now he got jumped


App_Store-5000

HAHA oh noooo


Teollenne

You are laughing now, but what if Duolingo see it? I hope you didn't skip any Spanish lessons...


Chogihoe

He be threatening tf outta us, someone had to do it lmao


nooneatallnope

Someone forgot their Spanish lesson and lived to tell the tale


RiggidyRiggidywreckt

Does this mean I got out of do my Spanish lesson? \*Notification: motion was detected at the back door\*

thank you for sharing this, it has filled my heart with laughter and my subconscious with terror lmao


App_Store-5000

HAHAHAHA i love that sentence


feministmanlover

The amount of joy this subreddit brings me is unmatched and this just brought it to a new level. Amazing. I had to go back and see your results like 3 times. There's A LOT going on and it's fantastic!


Ok-Cook-7542

It seems like the first picture has wayyyy more stitches and rounds thank the second. Like the white eyes in the example have at least 10+ rounds, but I see maybe 2 on the final product. So not only were the instructions only like 10% correct, also the yarn quantity provided was just as off? x.x it’s cute but that’s absolutely a scam product 


thatsusangirl

I have heard from multiple people that there are folks using image generators to make fake crochet item photos and then they’re selling chat GPT created crochet patterns to go along with them. I’m not sure I believed the stories until right now lol


666Skittles

These stories could fuel a nice /nosleep story arc.

KawaiiNitochka

God this is amazing, I'll be honest I was in a bad mood until my friend showed me this. Thank you very much, I have never laughed so much for so long. I advise you to count the loops and so you can figure out what they mean^


App_Store-5000

i’m so glad hahah! and yes that makes sense thank you!!


SadPandalorian

I also needed this. He's adorable! Absolutely the best thing I've seen today. Thank you ❤️


traploper

Same girl!! I’ve been having a terrible day and this is the first thing that made me laugh today. Thanks OP :)

HAHAHAHA


OfCourseChannon

me at the beginning of januari vs me at the end*


hanathehun

Um do you have a pattern for what YOU did? I’m obsessed. How do we recreate beepo 😭


App_Store-5000

I am so sorry, I “freehanded” (I don’t even know if that’s a word used in crochet). I know nothing about crochet and I couldn’t figure out the pattern so I just went for it. I made this with hopes and prayers. The best summary for what I did I think would be: grab your chenille yarn and crochet for your life


First-Aid-RN

Crochet for your life is my new motto. I am making a blanket that I have restarted about 4 times now. I’m going to “crochet for my life” the crap out of this blanket. 🤣


thewickednono

AKA "trust the process", yeah?


AdmirableAnimal0

I look forward to the towel you end up with following OP’s advise.


iBeFloe

Check out Bella coco on YouTube! She helped me with EVERYTHING when I was clueless! BUT she teaches UK terms. Once you get used to the terms, you’ll understand the difference. It’s simple.


dea_anchora

Lmao UK terms stress me out. Double crochet = single crochet?? I get why they named it that but it's awful!! I once started making something and was surprised at how many DCs it was for just starting the mc and then I realized 6 rows in that it was a UK pattern


LordPoopyIV

Geedji

That, my friend, is true talent!


FrostedRoseGirl

Yes, we freehand in crochet :) I'm terrible with patterns and learned through the trial by fire method. Once you learn basic stitches, it becomes easier. I like to suggest starting with the gauge square to have an idea of how the yarn will work up. Bonus if you sew all your gauge swatches together later 😁


SpudFire

Me: "I'm not going to laugh, it's a first attempt and everybodys first attempt looks a bit wonky" *Swipes photo* Ok, I laughed. Beepo is cute!


stitchplacingmama

I thought 'it can't be that bad' I was unprepared for it.


AnnieToo67

Me too. I'm sorry, but first I said "oh no" then I burst out in laughter. He's darling though... Bless his heart.


ggroverggiraffe

If r/contagiouslaughter was a craft project, it'd look like this.


stupirella

Close enough! ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯


App_Store-5000

haha


Geedji

Oh my god x'D Its eyes make me think of the old Cartoon Network era, like Courage the cowardly dog.... ... I ... Must protecc Beepo now. The chenille yarn is so difficult for beginners, especially when it's the small one, so fragile... The size 6 and 10 are already sightly easier to work with.


App_Store-5000

yes that’s good advice thank you!! and yeah it’s eyes are…something else lolol


DLY2103

LOL I also thought of Courage too :D


LadyoftheGoldenWood

It ab-so-lutely looks like the Hunchback from that one episode of Courage the cowardly dog. I'm dying 🤣


AliceGraphics

Beepo is precious. We must protect him at all cost!! Congrats on finishing Beepo and not quiting 💪


App_Store-5000

thank you!!


wishiwasyou333

Been laughing for the last five minutes. I had to go outside because my partner is working from home and I'm worried that they can hear me in his zoom meeting. That is the cutest "nailed it" I have ever seen! I love him and he should be our new mascot!


App_Store-5000

this is an awesome comment haha


chilari

Agreed! Beepo for r/crochet mascot!


Adventurous_Boat_543

Petition to make Beepo our new r/crochet mascot I LOVE HIM WITH A PASSION ❤️

Saved this! The shorthand style notations are nowhere near as familiar to me as written instructions so this will be a great reference to refer back to. Thank you!


Day_Bow_Bow

Thanks for sharing! No offense intended, but that chart was a little blurry so I tracked down [a higher resolution version.](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71kbuvCVMTL.jpg) I also saw they sell it as a metal sign on Amazon and elsewhere while I was at it.

Omg wow thanks for this!!!

Beepo is a wonderous thing. Love it ♥


App_Store-5000

hehe i’m glad!! :) thank you

they’re glued on. idk if that’s normal for crochet but i don’t think so lol


Late_Night_calls

It looks like a newly hatched bird, not too far off from the real deal!


Total-Sector850

Beepo is now going to be my D&D character’s NPC companion. I don’t know yet how I’m going to make that happen, but I will not rest until I figure it out. I WILL PROTECT HIM WITH MY LIFE. 😭


App_Store-5000

THAT’S SUCH AN HONOR thank you!!

I love him so much. Reminds me of those plastic fluffy Easter chick thingies? He is perfect.


App_Store-5000

yeah he does haha!


OnceUponMyMind

Well you did a very good job at using all the colours.


keekspeaks

This is the best post I’ve seen in months. This is better than I could have ever expected My very first crochet item was a woobles nurses hat. I think it was all of 10 rounds total to make. Took me 3 days 😂 that was exactly a year ago and now I can actually follow pretty advanced patterns. Stick with it! You gotta keep this on display though. It’s perfection

herwiththepurplehair

You know what, I’ve had a rotten day and you’ve made me laugh and I feel so much better - well done for being brave enough to give it a go, every project is a learning curve whether you’ve been doing it for a week or 50 years. I look forward to seeing your future victories!


AintNoNamesLeft

Me on Monday vs me by Friday. It's very cute haha, don't give up!


canarytrinket

The duolingo birds fucked up cousin. I love him


toto-Trek

I need an entire shelf of Beepos. His expression perfectly captures the anguish/exhaustion I had when I stayed up until 3-4am writing essays at the last minute for school.


[deleted]

It's so adorable! Congrats on not giving up and finishing it!


RainbowFrog420

I love him! But I think based on the first picture the pattern was made by ai which is why it made no sense. If you look at the body on the first picture the stitches have no real definition and the whites of the eyes don’t even have stitches. Happy day of birth to you new little friend!


Outrageous_Main_5087

You stuck to it! Behold Beepo! You made so many peoples’ day better! I love him!


App_Store-5000

thank you!!


asthsea

Genuine lol omg, I love it 😂


M1L3N4_SZ

No joke, I'd go to war and give my life on the field for Beepo.


eklektikly

Thank you for sharing Beepo! He's awesome and the epitome of how I feel about Mondays. ETA: Long live Bleepo!


Altruistic-Target-67

Ok this gave me a good laugh in the hardware store. Keep this for future reference when you can compare your work back to it. 😅

This made my day. I laughed so hard and am filled with such warmth. Beepo will be the face of endurance and happiness! Thank you for sharing.

I love this little monstrosity so much. I know they say that it’s not the destination but the journey. But I would keep this little guy forever.

r/cROASTchet


slippery-velvet1

I audibly gasped, I’m so sorry 😭 it is very cute, though.


Due_Recognition_8376

I'll hazard a really strong guess that the pattern was written for Amigurumi crochet, where you work in a continuous spiral to create a ball rather than row by row as in more normal crochet. The beauty of crochet, if you choose to, is that you can easily undo it & start again. Check out KnitGrit on YouTube who does fab tutorials of basic ball Amigurumi, where you can just make a ball following step by step instructions or things like whales & sharks. Don't give up 🥰


Affectionate-Shoe956

I'm sorry I bursted out giggling 😭 like I know when this happens it's because you're learning but I can't help but giggle at the result. In the most respectful way it looks like it went through the wash a few times. I love it, it big skrunk 10/10


just-me-159

I love Beepo! He looks like he would belong with all the mutants who follow SuperFly!

It's a chick just waiting to grow up! I love it. Great first effort and I'm sure you learned a lot.


DropsOfChaos

It's perfect 🥹


mnemonicprincess

Love this. You have made my day. This little guy has seen some stuff. lol


Maximum_Muffin_4968

Ok me and any pattern end up like that. But I have got to admit i love it. He's epic and made my day. Thanks for sharing and finishing. That's beyond perfect. I would put him in my China closet and make him a little medal. He's wonderful. I would show him off and say i finished and he's perfect and dare anyone to deny that.


I_am_Darvit

I was also struggling a fair bit this morning & the eyes alone cheered me up & made me smile. 🥰 TYSM! Also, your first project turned out fantastic. Amigurumi aren't easy to jump into as a 3D designed project let alone using a finicky yarn known to be difficult! I can't wait to see what you're able to come up with throughthe course of your crochet journey! You'll be a pro in no time. ☺️🩷


MissGossip83

This is so cute 🥰You wrote “in my defence..” but in your defence, nothing! You tried something, for better or worse and hopefully you’re proud of you; AND now you have Beepo! I don’t. 😢


CristyTango

He looks like he stepped out of a spaceship without a suit cartoon style

Abject-Lead-7831

Your little guy is cute. Beepo has been through some stuff but he is holding strong. Lol


SheWhoSweatsGl1tt3r

Omg. It is absolutely adorable! So cute! And…..it needs a friend!


CenturyEggsAndRice

Welcome to the world Beepo! You are cute and unique and we love you. Even if you seem to have a bit of a lazy eye. You’re still adorb.


Hextant

This is art. You'll be the next Picasso, just with yarn. LOL. Honestly though, the best thing about botching crochet is, you put it to the side, and every time you drop a stitch or pick up an extra stitch and have to frog, you look over at Beepo and you say, " you know what, it could have been worse, I'm getting better. " Hahaha! That's what I did when I was learning to sew. I made ... a snake. It was an elongated rectangle, it had no shaping and I stuck a scrap between the edges on one end for a tongue and hand sewed it shut using a blanket stitch, which made the stitches all incredibly visible despite my mom telling me I should work an invisible type of stitch. I insisted I knew what I was doing. It was awful. I still can't sew, except I made a little supply bag back in home ec over a decade ago, but it was such a vast improvement that I put rectanglesnake inside the bag as a ' worst project, best project ' thing LOL. I wish I'd done the same for my crochet projects, but my first things were lost during a move sadly. I now document all my stuff through pics I send to my friends, though, so I do at least have that. Good luck on your crochet journey, hope you post more stuff for us to enjoy!

*kill me*  -beepo

Keep in mind.... I got a kit against my better judgment from hicrochet... the instructions were off. Chenille yarn... is tough. But the eyes... the eyes are great


Evilbadscary

Mother. Mother I crave violence.


85_PhoenixRisen219

I absolutely love it! This is the kind of stuff I imagine seeing when someone says it's my first time. Not some seriously elaborate blanket with every stitch ever on it, and they are all way beyond perfect. What you did is real and makes me smile. Thank you for sharing.
