Meet sweet Lale. She is easy to make and all free.

It is only available in English and it is written in US crochet terms.

The pattern is straight forward and easy to follow. There is lots of pictures in this pattern – lots of step by step images, especially on the special parts.

You need to know the basic crochet skill for amigurumi, especially how to work in rounds or spiral. Some examples of stitches; single crochet, color changes, increases and decreases.

Size:
28 cm (11 inch) in standing position.
(Note! When using 2.5 mm crochet hook and the yarn Scheepjes Catona.)

Materials required:
- Yarn – I used Scheepjes Catona (100% mercerized cotton, Fingering / 4-ply weight). This doll also works well with other fingering or DK weight yarns. If you choose to use bulky or plush/velour yarn, the final shape and size may differ from the photos, so please adjust your hook size, tension and stitches accordingly.
- Crochet hook 2.5 mm
- Fibrefill / toy stuffing
- Neck supporter, such as an empty pen tube, a hair curler, wooden stick or twisted pipe cleaners, etc. (This support is necessary to keep the head upright and prevent it from falling.)
- Buttons x 2, 6 mm (for shoes)
- Stitch marker, scissor and embroidery needle
