Faith and Begorrah! Did ya ever see such a leprechaun? Liam the Leprechaun may not share his pot of gold with you, but he’ll certainly share his smiles with you.

Liam is 6” tall, crocheted from two strands of punch thread held together (available from www.tedsfromthreads.com). He’s 5-way jointed, with a cotter pin and disk jointed head, and thread jointed arms and legs. His pants, jacket, and hat are removable.

The pattern has 22 pages of instruction and photos, including color photos of the finished doll, list of abbreviations, and internet sources for supplies. It also tells you how to create Liam’s features and joint his head and limbs.
