Ladybug Doll Macy is made as a sister to Bee Doll Loïs and as a friend to Daffodil doll Suïsen and measures about 23,5 cm’s when I crochet her with a 2.0mm hook. When you go up a hooksize, she might be bigger, but proportions remain intact. This means gauge isn’t important.

The pattern for Macy is available in Dutch and English (US)

Amigurumi doll Macy is a crocheted doll with attached clothing inspired on ladybugs. She has a removable little cape to give her the illusion of wings.

Yarn:

  • Scheepjes Catona #523 Sweet Mandarin 1 ball of 50gr

  • Scheepjes Catona #517 Ruby 1 ball of 25gr
  • Scheepjes Maxi Sweet Treat #106 Snow White 1 ball of 25gr

Hook:
This doll is crocheted with a 2.0mm hook and the suggested yarn above. It’s important to crochet tight enough, since you don’t want the fibrefill to show. Also don’t crochet to tightly it’ll be a strain on your wrists. If you crochet loosely, please go down a size. If you crochet tightly go up a size. The proportions of this girl stay intact.

Gauge
Gauge is not important for this pattern. Different hooks and different yarn give you a different size for your doll, but the proportions stay intact.

Notions
Needle, scissors, fibrefill.
