This is my interpretation of a Netballer and her name is Nicky.

Nicky came about when I received an order for special gifts for a wonderful local team. Like quite a few of my patterns, I design because I can’t find something that suits what I’m looking for and I want to make it “Just Right” for my client. So Nicky was born .

Nicky will be approx 27cm tall, 14cm wide (hand to hand) & 12cm thick.

The pattern is designed to be crocheted in rounds both continuous rounds (majority of the pattern) & closed rounds (ch1 & turn) & also some components are in rows. Please note that it is stated what is used. This pattern is written in US terms. This pattern is 8 pages long.

Skill level is Intermediate. It has a few fiddly bits in it.
