Meet a little Australian Rain Sprite. She was started when Australia was in the middle of a drought and once I started designing it started to rain in some parts at least!

She is made in the round with the head and body made as one piece.

This particular pattern was made with 4 ply cotton and the sprite is about 10cm but any yarn would be suitable - the size of the sprite will change.

I used Altin Basak Krose - 4 ply cotton which is a rebranded Turkish cotton in Australia called Clever Country (or HandMade) that is slightly round in shape rather than a flat ply. These come in 50 grams balls in 169 metres (185 yards) and you should be able to make two sprites skin colour with this amount of cotton.
