#microcrochet

I love to make african flower animals so much! I used a 0.5mm crochet hook and a single embroidery thread.

I'm queer, non-binary, and neurodivergent. 🌈

I make in fan art, custom pet portraits, and original designs. 🌟

I hope this is followable, It's not complicated but I don't know how to word things

You can make this with bigger yarn and hook but for micro ones I used one strand of dmc embroidery floss and a no.14 (0.50mm) crochet hook
