Update Aug 15, 2020: I’ve added a variation to the pattern for those who want to make the New Horizons version of Isabelle. Enjoy!

I hate to admit it, but it took me a long time to finally get around to playing Animal Crossing: New Leaf. It came out the summer before I started university, so I wasn’t exactly keen on spending money! Instead, I just stuck with my tried and true Wild World.

Still, when Isabelle first appeared I was instantly in love! Not only does she look adorable, her personality is just so lovable. When I finally got New Leaf in the summer of 2019, I fell in love with her all over again.

Isabelle sits at about 5.5” (14 cm) tall and can balance on her own if you’re careful about the placement of her tail and legs. She has a lot of small, cute details, but you could probably cut some of them about if you don’t have the right coloured yarn.

You can spend a toonie and get a nice printable pdf version of the pattern or check it out on my website for free.
