Chibi Sakura is inspired by the Japanese Cherry Blossom. The doll wears a cherry blossom dress and a headband with cherry blossoms in her hair. Sakura measures about 12.5 cm’s when I crochet her with a 2.0mm hook. When you go up a hooksize, she might be bigger, but proportions remain intact. This means gauge isn’t important.

The pattern for chibi Sakura is available in Dutch and English (US) as a single pattern.

Chibi Amigurumi doll Sakura is a crocheted doll and the clothes she is wearing cannot be removed.

Hook:
This doll is crocheted with a 2.0mm hook with the suggested yarn. It’s important to crochet tight enough, since you don’t want the fibrefill to show. Also don’t crochet to tightly it’ll be a strain on your wrists. If you crochet loosely, please go down a size. If you crochet tightly go up a size. The proportions of this girl stay intact.

Gauge
17sts x 17 rounds in single crochet = 5x 5cm, crocheted using a 2.0mm hook. Gauge is not very important, because proportions will remain intact.

Notions
Needle for weaving ends, scissors, fibrefill, stitch marker.
