How to Crochet a Cardigan for a Stuffed Animal | Beginner Friendly

[@xxPinkRavenxx331]

This has to be my favorite plushie channel. I make stuff from your tutorials ALL THE TIME for my build a bear frog! This video though was my very first crochet project that I successfully finished!!!!!!! Thank you!!!!

[@LixiePigCrafts]

That’s so sweet 😭 Oooh yay glad it worked out!

[@Beerkittenz]

This is adorable! I’ve always wanted to learn to crochet but I feel like I already have SO many creative hobbies that I already don’t have time for. This video was inspiring I think I might invest in some yarn and give this a go. Unfortunately my favorite stuffed animals to make clothes for are beanie boos and it seems like creating a pattern for friends that small would be difficult. I made Cassidy a swimsuit out of fabric and that was challenging because of their proportions

[@LixiePigCrafts]

Yeah this might be difficult for beanie boos…but I’ve seen people crochet clothes for squishmallows so anything is possible 🤣 so maybe in the future I’ll do a video like that and see what I can make

[@Beerkittenz]

@@LixiePigCrafts that’s a good point! I’m sure there are ways it may just be tricky. I’m definitely going to do the scarf for them from your no sew winter accessories video!

[@LixiePigCrafts]

Oh yeah that’s a great one to do!

[@casslago7614]

Oh my god wait I found you yesterday and I thought you didn’t post anymore! I’m glad to know that your stuffed friends are growing up with you, makes me feel better about the fact that I still keep mine around as what would be a highschool senior. Love from Spain!

[@LixiePigCrafts]

My newest video is taking a bit longer but yes I’m still posting! Nothing wrong with loving plushies at any age ☺️

[@84o9xx]

I was doing this for my tiny bunny JellyCat, so i only had to make 2 rows😭 i’m not a beginner anymore but this video is rlly fun to watch and very helpful :)

[@Macythe64]

Thank you so much! This is so cute! One day, when I get some materials for crocheting (and everything else) I will make so many things off of your channel! You are amazing!

[@LixiePigCrafts]

Thanks Mia! Yeah hopefully one day you do! 🥰😘

[@eldritchm3ow]

Im super new to crochet and was intimidated as heck to try a real project but the imperfections in this video you showed and when you were connecting the sleeves and said "if the sides are messy n you cant tell which row is which then just go into whichever you can" made me even more comfortable with it LMFAOO i was so worried about it not being perfect but your attitude of just going with the flow is so reassuring, thank you :) 💛💛💛

[@adriannarados]

Thanks for always coming up with amazing video ideas❤. I’m about to crochet this cardigan!!!! Looks so 🥰 cute.

[@LixiePigCrafts]

Yay let me know how it goes!!! 🥰

[@adriannarados]

Thanks so much it turned out perfect! Your video was so easy to follow along with. ❤

[@baligonzalez4558]

I agree

[@LixiePigCrafts]

That’s a relief 🤣

[@TatianaSmith-bc2oq]

8:21 i saw another comment like this so i did it cuase thats actually rly smart.

[@Timmyson946]

Can you please make one that has the exact measurements that you’re using because i’m crocheting it for the same bear

[@ari-1230]

is it just mines that's messed up?

[@LouisDacat]

OMG I have that pink bunny stuffed animal my grandpa and grandma gave it to me when I was little it’s so special to me cause my grandpa passed❤️

[@LixiePigCrafts]

Awww that’s sweet 🥺

[@AmeliaAckerson]

8:01 saving my spot💗

[@nej.1190]

I am making a gift for my fried and this would be great. But I have never done crochet before and I'm wondering how long this would take to make

[@LixiePigCrafts]

Hmmm this is doable in one day but for a beginner it might be good to work on it an hour or two a day for a few days

[@baligonzalez4558]

I am afull at croche but some how i maneged to make this cárdigan so thank you!!!!

[@LixiePigCrafts]

Ooohh yay I’m glad you were able to make it 🤩

[@premamuthukumar5352]

Woah this is amazing!! The maths is the only thing that confused me so much because my brain decided to measure in inches then convert to centimetres, then add 4cm then convert back to inches, when i could have measured in cm from the start 🥲 im a bit weird buttttt i really loved how it turned out!! Thankyou so much ❤

[@funsk8ermom]

She also could have said how many chains. The yarn over and yarn under in same stich gets me and I've been crocheting for many years

[@premamuthukumar5352]

@funsk8ermom ooh I see, I'm new to it so I didn't really know, I just guessed most of it 😅

[@strawberrylemons4386]

This is so cute

[@LixiePigCrafts]

Thank you! 😊

[@sampostsrandomstuff]

Hi lixie! i love all of your videos! maybe for christmas you could do mini christmas themed stuffed animals for your stuffed animals? like maybe a christmas tree or a gingerbread man or house! just some suggestions!

[@LixiePigCrafts]

Thank you! I like your profile pic ☺️ so you want me to make like smaller stuffed toys?

[@sampostsrandomstuff]

@@LixiePigCrafts thanks and yeah- like the diy teddy bear for a stuffed animal? But Christmas ones like Christmas tree and gingerbread man like I sajd

[@LixiePigCrafts]

Ok I get what you mean

[@sampostsrandomstuff]

@@LixiePigCrafts tyyy!!

[@craftqueen8118]

Hi Sam! It feels weird to call you Sam in pt 2 of the stuffed animal car video the number plate said Sam but anyways. I think this is really REALLY cute I love it! I wish that I can crochet. I've tried but the only thing I do is make knots lol😅 also I have a video idea. Since it's almost christmas can you make a christmas outfit like a dress or some winter clothes and a christmas room for a stuffed animal. This video was amazing as always lysm❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@LixiePigCrafts]

Haha yeah you can call me whatever 🤣 great suggestions! I definitely have some of those planned already…

[@craftqueen8118]

@@LixiePigCrafts I have a question. Why did you name your yt channel Lixie Pig Crafts when your names Sam?

[@LixiePigCrafts]

The name “lixie” comes from a combination of my guinea pigs’ names. I had the Lixie pig Instagram for a few years first and couldn’t come up with any better names for the KZbin channel 😅 but great question! I was going to try to incorporate my real name into the channel first though

[@maisypreston4598]

Thank you for this tutorial! I was just wondering how much chains you did at the beginning xx

[@LixiePigCrafts]

After rewatching the beginning I’m not exactly sure since I ended up just measuring the chain but zooming in on the video and counting I got around 44? 🤔😅

[@tia3593]

Is there away to make it with only chains the others are too hard😢

[@LixiePigCrafts]

unfortunately you have to build on the chains to bulk it up but it just takes a lot of practice!

[@oekoke7291]

You bunny is so cutee

[@carolekotser-3905]

What discription box?.

[@thickandfuzzyblanket]

Im not gonna do it right now as it's 6am and I need sleep but I have a small stuffie I just got from goodwill it's a vermont teddy bear ivory kitten buddy it's super skinny and long so it only has socks and a scarf on but I'd love to dress it up I've fixed it uo cleane did and stuffed it more now I wanna put clothes on but it's so super small this seems good and beginner friendly

[@paulinaruiz928]

What is the size of your crochet hook?

[@LixiePigCrafts]

3.75 millimeters

[@cuhljindegyzmandeguzman1465]

Ooh i have one of those i think my grandma made them mine is like white with pastel color for my teddy bear i miss my grandma mine have buttons

[@LixiePigCrafts]

Aww that sounds so cute ☺️ at least you have that as a memory of her

[@Babybirdspace]

I just started crocheting at the end of 2022 and I keep trying this and I keep failing but I will not give up trying to make this 😂

[@LixiePigCrafts]

That’s the spirit!! 👊🏼

[@vanessa6716]

You should do a mini fridge and some skin care in it

[@LixiePigCrafts]

That sounds kind of tough but super cute 😅 what kind of skin care stuff?

[@linda.dingdong]

I have the exact same pink Daisy bunny!!!

[@LixiePigCrafts]

Wow twinsies! What’s yours named?

[@wallace6553]

Can you do instruments? Guitar, drums, ukulele, flute. And more, thank you! Keep the hard work up

[@wallace6553]

I love your videos. Can you sports supply. Like basketball hoop. Because my stuffed animals really wanna play basketball. Also you can make hockey stick. Puck. Soccer net. And others you can make as many parts to this videos just please. Thank you!

[@LixiePigCrafts]

Oh yeah thanks for reminding me!

[@strawberrygacha]

Cuteeee

[@LixiePigCrafts]

Thanksss 🥰

[@abbeyrose-zx2yf]

Can anyone who has tried this tell me roughly how long it takes

[@baligonzalez4558]

Hi i find youre videos so helpfull thank you! Maybee you can make mini fidjets for stufed animals i know i would love to see that

[@LixiePigCrafts]

Hmmm that might be tough what kinds of fidgets?

[@baligonzalez4558]

I guess diy fidgets but smaller and maybee things like stressballs or other stuff like fidgets that are originaly small but a diy version.

[@LixiePigCrafts]

Oh ok I know my cousin has a lot of them so I could ask her for some ideas

[@baligonzalez4558]

Ok thanks it means a lot to me since i love fidgets so much and i have a bunch!😍

[@grcounselman]

Mine can only go to about 10 mins

[@agggtm.fan.]

5:38 just needed to save my place lol

[@diwataramos714]

It's confusing as if it doesn't measure up

[@funsk8ermom]

Why not just use inches and tell how many chains and rows

[@dullentristan4934]

This video is very helpful. Can you make hunter from the owl house pleas :3 💛💚

[@LixiePigCrafts]

Hmm I’m not familiar with that character 🤔 what do you mean by make him

[@CatLee967]

😊👍

[@grcounselman]

How do you make your videos so long

[@LixiePigCrafts]

This one went way longer than I thought because it’s a crochet one where I talked in real time 😅 not all videos have to be long though; it’s best to keep the information concise but I tend to talk a lot lol

[@Seoho.Riki_Lover]

I wish this was knitting.. I only know how to knit

[@LixiePigCrafts]

Aww too bad I only know how to crochet 🥲
