When I was a child, I didn’t need heroes. No superheroes impressed me. I didn’t imagine a hero who would come and solve my problems. I didn’t aspire to be a superhero either. Yes, their superpowers seemed fun, but what they did was a bit boring. If I had a superpower like flying, I wasn’t the type to use it to save people. I think I don’t have the fabric of the chosen one, and even if superpowers were real, they probably wouldn’t be given to a child who is so far away from the world.
Now, at this age, when I can’t stand some injustices that I can’t fix, I need heroes. I started to imagine superheroes. It makes me feel very good. Of course, I don’t imagine human superheroes. People aren’t cool enough to be heroes in my world. Crocheting or imagining them doesn’t seem very appealing.
Actually, when I started crocheting this pattern, I was in a more positive mood. And I crocheted this K.C. to accompany my night walks. I think rams are one of the animals I feel the safest with, with their majestic horns and piercing gazes. I was friends with a ram when I was a child. Maybe that’s why I feel so good around them. Of course, I could hug them when I was cold.
I crocheted my ram with such sweet dreams. Unfortunately, I will have to give him a bigger task. I want to assign him to fight off a malicious creature that roams the streets at night. This malicious creature, together with his servant, hunts innocent and gentle souls and feeds on their fears and pains. Don’t let the charismatic villains in fantasy novels come to mind. His disgusting grin, his ear-piercing voice, his words that lack even the slightest logic, reason and conscience, his appearance make you wish he didn’t exist the moment you see him. His face evokes disgust mixed with pity, and you inevitably get angry at him. You know his helplessness and cowardice from the targets he chooses. Still, he is dangerous, of course, you may prefer to stay away so that the black mud on him doesn’t get on you. I want my K.C. to go after him when he goes hunting at night, to drive him crazy with fear. I want him to not give him any comfort even in his sleep, to not leave him alone until he can’t enjoy life at all, until every breath becomes torture for him. I want him to no longer think about harming others, to feel so much pain that he will sacrifice everything to find peace for a second. I want him to hurt, to hurt so much. I want him to be so scared that he loses his mind and disappears, groaning and moaning in the shadows.
K.C. was supposed to be my companion with whom I would enjoy the silence on cool nights. Unfortunately, he had to become my hero. . Let him clean those streets for innocent souls. I will wait for him for our night walks. Maybe I will crochet new friends for him while I wait. But before I can crochet something new, I need to introduce this pattern and finish the article.
I would like to thank Olya, the owner of the pattern, for this beautiful pattern. Olya is the owner of OlyaSamToys on Etsy and has great patterns. As she stated, although it is a bit challenging for beginners, she designs very enjoyable crochet patterns. You definitely learn something new.
There are two points I really liked about the preparation of the pattern. First, the work of the testers has been added to the pattern. This way, you can see the alternatives in different colors. Second, there is a section called yarn analogues in case the yarn she used is not available in our country. It is a very clever idea.
What I didn’t like about the pattern was that the legs and body were closed when there were 10 stitches. Of course, it could be my clumsiness, but my yarn broke twice. It didn’t look exactly as I wanted. Since I was short on time, I couldn’t crochet the second ram, maybe the second one would be more like I wanted. It could also be because I knit too tightly. Because the owner of the pattern knitted with a 2.00 mm crochet hook, I knitted with a 2.20 mm. It turned out to be almost the same size. My ram’s length and height were 1 cm shorter. The length became 9 cm / height became 12 cm. Still, the pattern is very nice, it was enough to cover my flaws.
I found the explanations and photos of the pattern sufficient. It would be perfect if there were a couple of photos taken from behind. There is also a video for the detail under the eyes in the pattern.
The difficulty level of the pattern is Advance. It is a very enjoyable pattern to crochet. Of course, I liked the horns the most. I want to add these horns to every toy. It is very easy and very fun to make the horns. You can achieve differences in its expression and posture by sewing its head and horns.
Crocheting its wool was also very fun. By the way, it took less time than I expected. For some reason, I thought it would take a lot of time. I learned a very nice method this way.
I definitely recommend this pattern, which relaxes me both when crocheting and writing. I hope you will crochet rams to accompany you for more peaceful days. Maybe you want to come and tell me. Even at the end of the article, my anger still hasn’t passed. I still feel so helpless that writing won’t relax me. Maybe I need good people’s beautiful sentences.
The greatest harm that evil beings can do is to reveal the evil within us. They transform us from someone who thinks the crackling of a branch they step on on a rainy day is a snail and whose heart skips a beat, to someone who wants nothing more than for their enemies to suffer and get what they deserve. They expect us to be drowned in that evil and for us to come to their side sooner or later. Decent people usually don’t fall for this and don’t stray from the path. I don’t feel like such a decent person today. I’ll take a side road with K.C. And tonight, before he starts hunting, I’ll dream of hunting him.
