How Crochet App Helped
Creating Errol takes 5 hours of intermediate-level crochet. The app features keep you organized through the different body parts and details.
Row Counter
Errol has multiple pieces: the body, head, wings, and eyes. The row counter helps you track each section separately so you don't mix up how many rows belong to the body versus the head.
Yarn Warehouse
Check your yarn colors and amounts before starting Errol's creation. Since you'll need different shades to bring out her feathers and features, the Yarn Warehouse makes sure you have everything ready.
