What was your inspiration?

I have a daughter who wanted me to maked Raggedy Ann for a gift. Well, after I made her, of course I had to try my hand at Raggedy Andy.

What are you most proud of?

I love how he came out his little sailor cap and bow tie.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

This is a fairly easy project to make. The hooks are larger than most thread crochet to get the right size and it makes it easier to work on if a person is not used to working in thread.
