Meet the designer!
For the #UnderwaterTailsCAL, Hobbii is delighted to have teamed up with Jessie from Projectarian. Based in South Africa, she is not only super passionate about the sea and scuba diving, but she is also exceptionally amazing at designing mind-blowing amigurumi characters.
Her focus? Crochet patterns based on real-life animals and paying attention to their natural proportions while sprinkling in some fantasy elements like her signature pastel colors. Oh, and adding large, friendly eyes…
When working on the #UnderwaterTailsCAL, she especially liked studying the shape and proportions of the two real-life animals she was inspired by for the Crochet-Along.
As we at Hobbii already know a little bit more about Gumdrop and Juju, we can honestly say that the reversible amigurumi design has turned out beyond our expectations. We cannot wait for all of you to come along our #UnderwaterTailsCAL journey!
