Notes

I hope more people make these yarn fairy dolls.
They’re not hard to make and turn out beautifully.
They make a unique playset for anyone.

The entire collection of fairies is included as a free supplement when you buy the designated Simply Crochet issue # 130. An incredible offer.
The magazine / supplement download is readily available from several magazine vendors for as little as $7 USD.
https://pocketmags.com/us/simply-crochet-magazine/issue-1...

The yarn fairies are meticulously represented from Cicely Mary Barker’s Flower Fairies illustrations and poems.

Note:
All directions are in British Crochet Terminology.
(I converted the directions into US Terminology for myself.)

Recommendation:
Work r 23, 24, 25 of body with double str yarn, stitching tightly. Omit r 26 of body.
Make and put the clothes on the body before making the head.
The above steps strengthen the neck to support the head.

Suggestion:
Head:
Work r 1 with traditional sc, vs BLO, as written. Work chain stitches as written.
