Isla is the coolest Little Doll - nothing phases her, she always has a positive outlook. She is also one of those thick-skinned people who will never be seen with a coat on. With the change of seasons, she’ll put on a beanie and a vest but that’s it!

Notes:
 A yarn with no stretch is best for amigurumi, I ordinarily use cotton or cotton blend.
 Amigurumi is usually stitched in the round (unless it says otherwise).
 For this pattern, the following yarns were used:
o NUDE = Bendigo Woollen Mills 4ply cotton in “816 Parchment”
o GREEN = Hobbii Rainbow 8/4 cotton in “24 Mint”
o MINT = Hobbii Rainbow 8/4 cotton in “25 Pastel Mint”
o SAND = Hobbii Rainbow 8/4 cotton in “46 Old Rose”
 I crochet loosely and use a 2.5mm hook with 4ply yarn. Generally, the hook you use for amigurumi will be a smaller than for other crochet as you want the stitches tight to keep stuffing from showing and for any attachments to stay in place.
 The yarn thickness and hook size used will affect the size of the finished item. My Isla the Little Doll is approximately 24cm tall (9 ½ inches).
 I have used safety eyes for this pattern but you may embroider. Please ensure that there are no loose fittings.
