Making a Crochet Sweater for the Lemo Plushy 🍋💞

I know a lot of people will be getting plushies soon because of the diary challenge 🎊

I decided to try to crochet a sweater for Lemo 💞

🧶Choosing colors🧶

I went with this confetti pink color because I happen to have enough of it left over 😂. I have so many little scraps of yarn, I need to make a patchwork project or something.

🏹 Neckline Length 🏹

It was 75 stitches around the neck with a 5mm hook and acrylic yarn. I got started on some arm holes, and did increases kinda randomly without really counting

👘 Design 👘

Lemo has an interesting body shape 😂 such a short torso that shirts look like dresses. I am open to suggestions of how I can design differently, or what I should make next!

👕 Finishing touches 👕

I finished up with some sleeves. I think it's soo cute!!
