SEEKING INPUT – or – tell me what you know, please!

I’m seeking information about this program from those crocheters who have used it:

What I’d be most likely to use the program for would be sweaters. Here’s the layout they use:

Since I’m mathematically challenged, I believe this program might be of benefit to me. I can’t download the demo on the computer I’m writing on (as there is a very expensive proprietary art program on it that my son must use for his work) so I’m seeking input from my readers.

If you’ve used the demo successfully (or, unsuccessfully, I guess) or have purchased the program and use it, I’d love to hear from you. I’m thinking positively about the whole thing, but would like more info from all of you!

Pixie the Robot crochet pattern has been a delightful journey into the world of amigurumi. As someone who enjoys creating soft toys, I was excited to try my hand at crafting Pixie, and it turned out to be a fun and rewarding experience.

Skill Level:

The pattern is labeled as “easy” (Beginner+), and it indeed lives up to that categorization. It’s a fantastic choice for those who are new to amigurumi or looking for a relaxing project. The instructions are clear and concise, making it accessible to crocheters of all levels.

Design and Yarn:

Pixie’s design is charming and endearing. The choice of Wool-Ease® yarn in a range of colors, including Oxford Grey, Denim, Arrowwood, Fisherman, Cranberry, and Black, allows for customization and creativity. The colors come together beautifully to give Pixie a playful and robot-like appearance.

The use of Wool-Ease® yarn ensures that Pixie is not only cute but also soft and huggable. The yarn is easy to work with, and the finished result is cuddly and durable.

Size and Dimensions:

Pixie stands at approximately 9 inches (23 cm) tall, making it a perfect size for both play and decoration. Its compact size means it can find a place in various settings, whether as a toy for a child or a cute addition to your home decor.

Accessories and Hooks:

The pattern suggests using HiyaHiya Aluminum Crochet Hooks, which are colorful and easy to handle. Additionally, the inclusion of a Clover Darning Needle Set is a thoughtful touch for finishing details and adding the final touches to Pixie.

Pixie the Robot is a delightful crochet project that brings a smile to your face as you create it and to others when they see the finished result. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced crocheter, you’ll find joy in crafting this lovable robot.

I highly recommend this pattern to anyone looking for a rewarding amigurumi project. It’s a great way to explore the world of soft toy making and to bring a touch of whimsy into your crochet repertoire. Pixie will undoubtedly find a special place in your heart and your crochet collection.

I LOVE this program. I purchased it a couple of years ago for knitting, but use it for crochet too. It is fantastic for adjusting size & fit. You must make a gauge swatch so you can input the correct figures & get the proper finished size. It is very easy to use — I often make my own patterns from pictures in magazines. There are so many design options to create the perfect pattern.
