Help with instructions to a pattern

General Knitting
1

this is a pattern I would like to do unfortunately having trouble following instructions. Would someone know if I can find this as a video? Or a way to see a simple explantion of the step by step instructions.

The pattern seems to be very detailed, but something makes me think it’s an AI pattern and may not give you the result you want.

It SEEMS like it might work, but it says nothing about how to do the shoelaces, and the instructions for the hair won’t give what is shown in the photo.

I think you might be better off looking for another pattern.

AI says its AI… but A I could be wrong about itself, its wrong about quite a lot

AI Overview

   Yes, the image itself and the pattern associated with it are heavily characteristic of AI-generated content.

Here are the key indicators that confirm this is an AI creation:
• The Image is AI-Generated: Look closely at the background scoreboard. The text features typical AI hallucination gibberish like “PMSS” and “PLAYER SOIWD”. Additionally, the basket net on the left and the balls on the rack have distorted details, and the lighting and stitch perfection are classic hallmarks of AI image generators like Midjourney or DALL-E 3.
• The Pattern Quality: Many websites use AI-generated images as “clickbait” or thumbnails on Pinterest to drive traffic to their blogs. When these blogs offer a “free pattern” for an AI image, the text of the pattern itself is usually either generated by an AI language model (which results in non-sensical, un-crochetable instructions) or a generic pattern scraped from somewhere else that will not actually yield the doll shown in the picture.
If you are looking for real, human-designed basketball amigurumi patterns that you can actually follow, it is highly recommended to use trusted platforms like Ravelry or Etsy. Some excellent real examples include:
• The LeBron James Pattern by Ana Carolina on Ravelry
• The Basketball Player Amigurumi by Allison Hoffman on Ravelry
• The Basketball Player Doll Pattern by GinansilyoNiMarya on Etsy

Maybe thats why its hard to follow the instructions

How about this

Personally i think it would be better in a smoother yarn, and more stuffing.

I hope I have the right person, I think @Jinnu has made a series of amazing crochet figures and could suggest a good yarn for the basketball player.

I found a thread
