Happy Hook Designs Pattern by Megan Alameda
Measurements: Approximately 13" tall sitting, 16" tall standing, and 6" wide Materials: Worsted Weight Yarn in pale pink, hot pink, purple, and white 2 - 12mm Safety Eyes 4.5mm Hook Polyester Fiberfill or other Toy Filling Yarn Needle Stitch Marker
Design Notes:
For this pattern I used Caron ilb. I find this worsted weight yarn to be thicker than other worsted weight yarns. If using any other brand, I suggest using a 4.omm crochet hook. You can use any yarn weight and appropriate hook to create this pattern. This will affect the size of your finished piece. Amigurumi does need to be crocheted tightly so the stuffing does not show through. If using a different yarn weight, make sure to use a smaller hook than the yarn recommends. In addition, safety eyes can be considered a choking hazard. If you intend on giving this doll to a child under 3 years old, it is highly suggested you use yarn eyes in place of the plastic safety eyes.
