With this pattern you can crochet two versions of Kaylee, Serenity’s cheerful and goodhearted mechanic. Make one version with her hair up, wearing sandals and a removable jacket, and another with long hair and boots.

The pattern is suitable for crocheters with a little experience. The instructions are detailed and easy to follow if you know the basic stitches and techniques used to make amigurumi. They are written in English using US crochet terms, and the list of abbreviations includes the UK alternatives. The pattern is a downloadable PDF file and you will need Adobe Reader to open it. I will be happy to answer any questions you may have as you are making it.
