Doll Collection! Here you’ll find a some
allusive little beings ready to surprise and

About this pattern
This crochet pattern includes instructions
for creating “Willa the Forest Fairy”. You’ll
find the written pattern detailed on pages
5 through to 8, with example photos of key
pattern steps included on page 9.
General tips and recommendations
knowledge of basic crochet stitches
and amigurumi technique is
recommended for completing this
pattern
round (or row) numbers are indicated
in bold at the start of each line
work in continuous rounds (spiral)
unless otherwise indicated
mark the beginning of each round with
a stitch marker
change yarn colour on the last step of
the previous stitch (i.e. the stitch before
the indicated colour change).
Finished size
Willa is about 28 cm tall when made using
the recommended yarn and hook size, but
will vary based on individual tension and
crochet style.
A note on faces
Embroidering the face on your amigurumi
can take practise and patience, but will
add lots of individual personality… no two
are ever the same! For these patterns, I
find it easier to add embroidered details
after finishing the head and hat/hair.
A note on skin colour
Most of the patterns from this collection
use a pale cream for the skin colour. I felt
this gave the dolls an almost ethereal look
about them. You may, of course, use any
shade of skin tone that you prefer.
And finally…
Thank you for choosing an oche pots
pattern! I hope you enjoy creating your
own little collection of fairies, elves and
other mystical beings.
