The pattern is for a lovely, pretty and fun neep (turnip) lady called Nora. I have absolutely loved creating the pattern for Nora. I have always loved our Scottish celebrations for Robert Burns on 25th January and really wanted to add some friends for my Haggy the Haggis to celebrate with, so here is Nora, who is ready to celebrate Robert Burns’ birthday. I hope you will love the pattern as much I have loved creating her.

The skill level for this pattern is Intermediate. I have included lots of photographs and clear instructions to make it as beginner friendly as possible. It is available in English, UK and US terminology. The skills that are needed include:

  • Amigurumi techniques
  • magic ring
  • crocheting in the round
  • double crochet (UK)/single crochet (US)
  • increase and decrease stitches
  • half treble crochet (UK)/ half double crochet (US)
  • treble crochet (UK)/double crochet (US)
  • double treble crochet (UK)/treble crochet (US)
  • colour changing using tapestry crochet
  • some minor embroidery techniques needed
  • use of wire in crocheting

This project is perfect for bigger quantities of leftover yarn. Any DK/3 Light weight yarn can be used. Yarn I have used: Drops Design Muskat DK (100% Cotton, 50g/100m)
The finished dimensions are:
24 cm high x 7 cm

You may sell your finished products made using this pattern in limited number. I do ask that you credit me, Pauline Morgan @makingpolly, as the designer.
