First of all I would like to note that this crocheted Roly Poly Pill Bug has many details to sew together. I wanted it to be flexible as much as possible, so I could not crochet it solid. Sewing it is not difficult but requires patience and attention to assemble everything symmetrically.

This is PDF file in English, uses US crochet terms. File consists of 9 pages, has a lot of helpful photos and links to the videos to help in assembling.

Size of a finished toy will depend on the yarn you choose, but if to use required materials it will be about 7 - 8 inches length.
