Notes

Pattern test for @Willow.AndWild on IG.
Great pattern - so great, I made it twice ;)

. 16 pony beads
. 8mm safety eyes (added yarn for eyelashes)

I think the Mermaid variegated yarn is a bit thinner than the glitter yarn i used on my 1st turtle, because the beads are standing a bit proud… :(

Edit:
OMG!!!! Just found out that the way the beads are attached is different in the different patterns!! So the hedgehog beads are attached to stand proud, but the turtle ones sink in … MIND BLOWN!!

I’d realised the hedgehog uses a sc and the turtle uses a hdc to attach the bead, but hadn’t twigged this difference OR realised how very different the outcome would be :-o
