Materials Abbreviations (US Terms)
- 2.75 mm / 3.00 mm crochet hook (US C) st = stitch
- 100 % cotton yarn for a 3.00 mm hook ch = chain

You will need:

One color for her skin, one main color for her dress, a contrasting color for the linning of her dress and wings
and, finally, a color of your choice for her hair. Oh! And a bit of pink to embroider the cheeks.
As always, I use 100% DK worsted cotton yarn.

Finished size:
From head to toe, your finished fairy will measure 30 cm approximately.
Of course, should you choose a different hook and yarn, final measures will vary…

Ready? Let’s begin!

NOTE: It is important for you to crochet the pieces in the order in which they appear in the pattern…
