For this little dog I managed to make such a lovely sketch, me who is not able to draw!
My first crochet version was nothing closer to the cuteness it was supposed to be, off I restarted again and finally it turned out almost same as the sketch.
As I remade Enrico I realized that it would have been better to make him seamless for the tiny pieces of his body. At the end I came up with a super-fast pattern that requires little embroidery and sewing in the end.
This monkey was a little devil as I worked on his design, I cannot tell how many times I remade some of his parts. I was so much frustrated with this character that I was on the edge to hide him in my projects bag and forget him for good.
Now that he sits in front of me with that mischief face, I feel overcome with joy and pride. I’m totally in love with Emilio, he is such an handsome guy and his smile is irresistible.
Emilio was featured in Simply Crochet, Issue 102 in September 20
