I had an idea that I wanted to make a little doll with a gorgeous pair of blue overalls. So here is Hazel - blue overalls and a cute bun.

Hazel is an intermediate amigurumi (crochet) pattern written in US (American) terms. The pattern includes detailed instructions in an easy to follow layout but a knowledge of basic crochet stitches and techniques used to make amigurumi is essential.

Your tension, yarn thickness and hook size used will affect the size of your finished items. My Hazel the Little Doll is approximately 25cm tall (9 ½ inches).

You will need:

• 2.5m hook/C-2 (US)
• 4ply yarn/fingering > Less than 50g yarn in NUDE, BLUE, APRICOT and OAT
• 7mm safety eyes
• Scissors
• Tapestry needle
• Polyester toy stuffing
• Stitch marker

Notes:

• A yarn with no stretch is best for amigurumi.
• Amigurumi is usually stitched in the round (unless it says otherwise).
• Generally, the hook you use for amigurumi will be a smaller than for other crochet as you want the stitches tight.
• For this pattern, the following yarns were used: o NUDE = Bendigo Woollen Mills 4ply cotton in “816 Parchment” o BLUE = Scheepjes Catona colour “510 Sky Blue” o APRICOT = Scheepjes Catona colour “255 Nude” o OAT = Scheepjes Catona colour “179 Topaz”
• I have used safety eyes for this pattern but you may embroider. Please ensure that there are no loose fittings.
