Ann Walker lived at the start of the 19th century and is most famous with her relationship with the famous diarist and landowner Anne Lister. She was portrayed by Sophie Rundle in the BBC/HBO series Gentleman Jack.

This pattern is part of a series of LGBTQ+ icons I’ve been making to celebrate pride month. This pattern is made to be the same size as all of the animals and people in my ‘little animals’ collection, so the clothes will fit onto most of those animals.

You will need:
A 2.5mm crochet hook
A 2mm crochet hook
A 1mm crochet hook
dk yarn in beige
4py yarn in white and golden brown (although dk will also work for the brown, as will a slightly lighter weight)
#10 crochet cotton in pink (you will need quite a lot of this)
embroidery thread in dark pink, light pink, white, black, turquoise, beige (as closely matched to the skin colour as possible), and golden brown (as closely matched to the hair colour as possible)
craft wire
Light brown sewing cotton
A darning needle
An embroidery needle
A pet brush
