ReplyDeleteThank you! And I hope you enjoy the pattern :)
DeleteIt's very cute! I'm going to crochet it for my little nephew. Thank you for the pattern.
ReplyDeleteI'm modifying your pattern to make a prodigy ant for my partner.
ReplyDeleteHe better be forever thankfull because I'm getting blind crocheting the legs with black yarn. I have lost the count so I'm using bobby pins to somehow measure/compare the leng of each.

ReplyDeletehi! i am just learning how to crochet and I was wondering If I wanted to make this ant bigger how do I go about doing that? Thank you :)
ReplyDeleteI'm also new to crochet! I've found if you use thicker yarn it'll just be bigger (and easier!!). I will say this isn't a super easy pattern as the legs are super skinny and fiddly so don't lose hope!
