This crochet pattern collection will allow you to make clothes for your Momma Calico Critters. Included is a pattern for a jumper, a dress, a headpiece, and a flower and heart embellishment. (Headpiece fits bunnies, cats, squirrels and other critters with similarly shaped heads; it does not fit the koalas or dogs, or other critters with larger heads; however, by adding some rows, one could easily customize the pattern for any critter.)

Crochet Skill Level: Intermediate – Based on the stitches used in this pattern, I would rate it as “easy”; however, crocheting with thread can be challenging, so based on the thread and hook size, I think this pattern might call for “intermediate” skills.

Additional smaller hook, such as 1.65MM or 1.5MM helpful, but not necessary
