I ended up with a bit of a choose your own adventure with this one as I tried to maximize yarn utilization, work up all the patterns, and fulfill my obsessive need for symmetry.

Overall, I ended up with exactly 5g of yarn. 3g for the last mini, 1g of each for two of the minis, and not enough to register on the scale for the other 4 minis. Total yarn usage was 65g, 302yds.

Unblocked she’s about 12” tall and 8” wide. I plan to block a bit wider and shorter for the final measurements.
