Crafted with the whimsy and charm of a good polka, this parody maestro features wired limbs and is stitched up using the lively notes of worsted and chunky weight yarns.

This 13-page pattern is a lyrical journey, featuring over 30 colour photos to guide you through each stitch, and includes an additional visual guide to suggested tools and supplies. This updated pattern also offers two options for the hair: the long wavy tresses as well as the retro short, curly hair. Suitable for crocheters with a bit of experience, this pattern is a polka-infused celebration waiting to be crocheted. So grab your accordion hook and let the crochet concert begin!
