[@kariiii2813]

This was the first crochet project I've done, and I'm so happy with it! It took me about a month because I'm a slow crocheter and I had to learn many new stitches, but it was so worth it. I actually did it all with a double crochet instead of single because I find that stitch easier, and it worked out great. I gave it to my best friend for valentines day, and she loved it! Thank you so much for this tutorial ❤
