Ginger the Popstar is a ragdoll style crochet pattern for intermediate crocheters. You will work the pieces in rows before crocheting together and stuffing. I have included pictures, yarn and hook recommendations to assist.
Your tension, yarn thickness and hook size used will affect the size of your finished items. My Ginger is approx. 25cm tall (10 inches).
You will receive one PDF file which requires software like Adobe Reader to open (this is free to download).
You will need:
- 2.75mm hook/C-2 (US)
- 8ply/DK yarns in RED, GINGER, NUDE, BLUE and WHITE
- BLACK 4ply yarn or embroidery thread
- Scissors
- Tapestry needle
- Polyester toy stuffing
- Stitch marker (optional)
Notes:
- A yarn with no stretch is best for making toys, I use cotton or cotton blend.
- Your tension, the yarn thickness and hook size used will affect the size of the finished item.
- For this pattern, I’ve used less than 50g of the following yarns: o RED = Bendigo Woollen Mills 8ply cotton in “819 Pomegranate” o GINGER = Stylecraft Classique Cotton DK in “3674 Shrimp” o BLUE = Bendigo Woollen Mills 8ply cotton in “812 Sky” o NUDE = Bendigo Woollen Mills 8ply cotton in “816 Parchment” o WHITE = Stylecraft Classique Cotton DK in “3660 White”
- This pattern is worked in rows (unless otherwise stated) and you will ch 1 at the end of each row and turn before starting the next row.
- You will make the front and back for each piece then sc around to join together. Where you would like distinct corners “sc ch sc” in the corner stitch.
- When changing colour, pull through the new colour on the stitch before you need it. This will ensure that you have the correct colour yarn on the hook for the upcoming stitch.
- I recommend that you drop the yarn at the back when changing colours and pick up again when needed instead of carrying the yarn (working over it) as this may cause the stitches to become bulky when you have more than two yarns on the go.
- For the front body panel, the pattern is broken down into an initial for the colour and the number of stitches you will use that colour for.
