This design is for a small doll, as well as a butterfly ‘outfit’ and a chrysalis for them to live in! If you insert the butterfly body & wings into the chrysalis with the hood folded back, you can slide the ‘caterpillar’ pocket pal into the chrysalis, pull up the hood & then it’s ready to emerge again as a butterfly! Magic! ;-)

You attach the arms to the doll as you work, and so the only sewing involved with this, is to attach the hat, to sew the butterfly body to the wings and to embroider the facial details! The pattern also includes a poem that can be printed out to accompany the Pocket Pal if it’s a gift (or being made to sell as a gift).

Using 4 Ply cotton and & 2.5 mm hook, the Pocket Pal doll is 6 cm tall. With Aran / light worsted weight yarn & 4 mm hook it comes out at roughly 8.5 cm tall.

You will need:

Yarn for the Pocket Pal: Yarn of your choice in pale pink as well as one other colour for the body and hat. Yarn weight doesn’t really matter - the size of your Pocket Pal will simply turn out bigger or smaller!

Yarn for the Butterfly & Chrysalis: The same weight yarn in black & beige for the butterfly’s body and chrysalis, as well as 3 colours of your choice for the wings.

A suitable size hook for the yarn you have chosen.

A small amount of toy stuffing.

A small amount of black, dark pink and dark green finer yarn or embroidery thread for adding the details.

Other tools you will need are a tapestry needle, some scissors and a stitch marker.
