Notes: Ilayda, the Water Fairy, is written in US Crochet Terms. It is worked by crocheting the legs separately, then joining to create the rest of the body and head. The skirt and shirt sleeves are crocheted directly on the body. Hair, ears, arms, and wings are crocheted separately and attached by sewing to the body. It is not required to use the indicated yarn. Using a different size yarn with a suitable hook will preserve the proportions while making your amigurumi larger or smaller.

This pattern is worked in the amigurumi method, a continuous spiral. No slip stitches or chains between rounds. It is helpful to use a stitch marker to mark where you start/end your round.
