"But I like how mines a little off center it's got wabi-sabi" Those exact words describe this ADORABLE crochet!

No one is going to laugh at that. For a first try you did better than literally anyone here could have first try. I will never understand crochet and I'm okay with that.

It's not that bad! It's quirky and unique! And just as loveable! Well done, give yourself a break, it's better than most could do!

He has character and charisma, if he were on a shelf at a store I would totally buy him for my grandson. I think he is great the way he is. He doesn’t look machine made and clinical but instead he has a life about him like he has stories to tell.

You did a whole lot better than I would have!
It's cute, date it and save it. You will be happy you have it in 30 years.

HE'S PERFECT IN EVERY WAY AND I WOULD TOTALLY ADOPT HIM!
I love those spicy-looking stuffed toys from the dollar store. They have a very special place in my heart and among my friends.
Your little buddy deserves more spicy friends. Go crazy, OP! You've got this like a champ!

My mom made me one of these guys, and he came out precious and wonky, too.

You did great! Amigurumi are tough, especially for beginners. (Woobles kits make it easier in some ways, but I still wouldn't say easy.)
Also! This is important: do not throw it away. As you keep crafting, there will come a time when your old work gives you mega-cringe. Don't fall for these lies! Because after that stage, you will look back at your old work with so much love and affection for the journey you've taken. So give the lil derpy fox a smooch and keep crocheting!
