A crochet pattern of the legendary Ziggy Stardust!

I have designed this pattern to be manageable at an intermediate level. To complete it you will need to be able to make a magic ring, chain, single crochet, half double crochet, double crochet, work into back loops, increase, decrease, join using single crochet, and have basic sewing skills. The pattern is fully illustrated, with plenty of tips, and there are many helpful tutorial videos online. The finished doll is approximately 11 inches (28 cms) tall.

MATERIALS NEEDED:
1. Double knit yarn in black, white, red, blue, orange and skin
colour

1. 3mm crochet hook
2. Wool/tapestry sewing needle
3. Pins and stitch markers
4. Toy stuffing
5. 2 x 8mm safety eyes (preferably one green and one blue)

ABBREVIATONS (Pattern written in US Terms):
ch = chain
sl st = slip stitch
sc = single crochet
hdc = half double crochet
dc = double crochet
BLO = work into back loop only
INC = increasing row
DEC = decreasing row
2sc = increase by making 2 single crochet stitches into one stitch
Sc2tog = decrease by making a single crochet across 2 stitches
(##) = stitch count at end of row

Please note: if you crochet right-handed this pattern provides instructions to produce Ziggy’s lightning strike over his left eye, rather than his right as shown in the photographs.

This pattern would not be suitable for children under 36 months due the the eyes being a choking hazard.

I hope you enjoy making this project, but if you have any questions please contact me and I will do my
best to help.
