Finished Size about 4" tall
You will need:
- Worsted weight yarn in 4 colors- skin tone, hair color, and 2 colors for clothing (Sample made with Loops & Threads Impeccable in Almond, and Loops & Threads Soft Classic in Dark Taupe, Cornflower, and Ice Blue)
- G crochet hook (4/4.25 mm)
- 2- 6mm safety eyes
- embroidery floss and needle (pink or black for mouth)
- stuffing
- yarn needle
- stitch markers
- scissors
- optional: if you want to add weighted bases to you figures you will need some scrap fabric and Poly-Pellets
Instructions:
All of the pieces are made beginning with a magic ring. All but the head covering are worked in rounds, the head covering begins with a magic ring but then is worked back and forth in rows.
If you want to add weighted bases to the bottom of your figures you can cut out a circle of fabric about 3" in diameter, work a running stitch all the way around the outside edge, cinch it to make a little bowl shape, add a little bit of poly-pellets to the circle, then cinch closed. The base of the figure is only about 1.5" in diameter so it needs to be kept pretty small. If using a weighted base place it in the bottom of the figure when the pattern says to begin stuffing, the continue with stuffing. This does help keep your figures upright easier but is an optional step.
