Ray Firefly Crochet Tutorial Part 1 of 3

Disney’s Princess and the Frog character amigurumi. A step-by-step tutorial showing how to crochet your very own Ray Firefly. This video is Part 1 of 3. This tutorial assumes that you have prior knowledge on how to crochet (there is a list of stitches used in the abbreviations section below). The video contains subtitles with the pattern instructions for each row. I thought I would stick with the theme from the movie and put New Orleans style jazz throughout the videos, but feel free to mute because the sound isn’t necessary. If you prefer written instructions it is available on my Patreon page, you can find more information at the following link: Pattern by me (Chantelle) @ One’s Creative Mind :) I also have lots of free patterns like Winnie the Pooh, Looney Tunes and Super Mario on my website Part 1: Head and Body. Part 2: Mouthpiece, Arms, Legs, Body Lining, Eyes, Eyelids and Wings. Part 3: Assembly and finishing touches. Video edited using Viva Video and InShot.
