Caroline loves Christmas and everything about it, the snow, the Christmas tree and all the lights. As soon as Christmas is over, she longs for the next one.
There is not much sewing required on Caroline, only the head, hat and ears are attached by sewing. The rest of the parts are crocheted together, the arms, sleeves, legs, body and tail, or crocheted directly onto the body, like the skirt and all the fur edging. Every part is crocheted in continuous rounds.

There are two versions of the pattern, one in English with U.S. terminology and one in Swedish.
The pattern includes a printer-friendly version with few pictures.
You will also get a compendium with tips, descriptions and step-by-step pictures of the techniques involved (also two versions, English and Swedish).

Materials needed:

• Yarn in a main colour for body, head, arms, legs, tail and ears (I used DK weight, brown)
• Yarn in a secondary colour for body, skirt, sleeves and hat (I used DK weight, white)
• Faux fur yarn for decorative edging (I used white with about 1 cm long fur)
• Black yarn for nose
• Slightly thinner, black, white and colourful yarn (I used blue) for eyes or safety eyes
• Stuffing

I have used acrylic yarn (130 m by 50 g). If you use another yarn, make sure to change crochet hook accordingly.
