This would be a wonderful souvenir, created with your own hands. Just make it!

This pattern (29 sheets) contains a step by step description of the work with 85 detailed pictures and it’s available in English or Russian languages.

The pattern contains:

  • the basic techniques of crocheting (schemes) for beginner.
  • description for two variants of the clothes: red unitard and golden suit. The toy can be undressed.

Level: intermediate, advanced. Skills of amigurumi crocheting are needed. The toy has wireframe.

There are only three parts for sewing in this toy - ears, a nose and a tail, all another body details are connecting with crocheting.

Materials (are needed):
1) Acrylic: yarn weight Fingering / 4 ply (14 wpi) (250 meters/50 gr), e.g. “Acacia” by Troitsk Yarn, Baby Solids by Bernat, Lusy by Eliah – beige, black
2) Polyester or cotton with metallic: yarn weight Lace / 2 ply (190 meters / 20 gr), e.g. Camellia by YarnArt, Cotton Gold by Rozetti Yarns, Honey Suckle by Hasegawa Corporation – red, golden
3) Hook 2,0 mm = US Steel Crochet Hook 4
4) Thin wire (0,8-0,9 mm) - copper wire is preferable
5) Padding polyester
6) 2 beads for eyes, 4 buttons for a suit

!!! Note: I draw your attention to control a clothing size if you use another yarn different from mine. May be you should take thicker or thinner hook for the suit. It is desirable to keep a ratio of yarn thickness for the body and for the suit as about 2:1. It means yarn for the body should twice as thick as yarn for the suit.
