- Toy stuffing
- Yarn needle
- Scissors
Optional extras:
- Stitch markers
- Pipe cleaners or other craft wire
- Fake eyelashes

Ss or sl st– slip stitch
Ch – chain
Sc – single crochet
Hdc – half double crochet
Dc – double crochet
Tc – treble crochet
Sc2ins/hdc2ins/dc2ins – single/half double/double crochet 2 in the next stitch (increase)
Sc2tog/hdc2tog/dc2tog – single/half double/double crochet 2 stitches together (decrease)
* …. * - repeat from the first * to the next *
BO – Bind off
The magic ring technique is used for the different parts, but don’t worry if you don’t know this.
Instead, chain 4 stitches, and slip stitch into the first chain. You will have created a little ring. Use this as your ‘magic ring’ and do your stitches into the middle of this where the pattern requires the technique.
This pattern requires very little sewing for the most part (though, the skirt requires a lot of sewing in ends), as pieces are attached by crocheting them together. (Instructions on how to do this are included).
