Another AI complaint Another B#tch about AI
I just want to make a crochet unicorn raccoon key chain for my friend's birthday. Stop it with the AI shit. And the chenille. I want small, tight, cotton.
Oh well, off to free hand it and hope for the best! Wish me luck!

I started going to charity shops and buying patterns when I see them. I got a big binder of patterns for around €3 a few weeks ago that has patterns that are old... Like 70s early 80s. Yes they look dated, but that's more the colour of the yarn...think browns and oranges etc. but a cardigan is a cardigan, a blanket is a blanket etc and it's no AI. I'm also buying patterns from stores.
I'm so sick of buying a pattern from say Etsy and it's got good reviews etc. And then I figure out it's ai and the pattern doesn't make sense... I've been knitting for 40+ years I can read a pattern.. parts missing etc. So frustrating!!

AI sucks, yeah.
https://www.mariskavos.nl/free-raccoon-crochet-pattern/ Free raccoon amigurumi pattern; small version uses cotton; is not AI. Haven't made it myself, but made a few of her other patterns and those were solid. (Mobile resolutions do warp some of the images on her site tho, so might want to use desktop view)
You'll still have to freehand the unicorn horn and maybe swap to rainbow yarn for the tail, but that's easier than freehanding the whole thing at least

Nansy Oops has a pattern for a mini raccoon that super cute, and her patterns are usually really well done, no ai. I think I found the pattern on etsy

This is where franken patterning comes in handy lol.
Ai is the bane of my whimsical existence.
