Notes

• Work in continuous spiral rounds unless otherwise stated.

• Use a stitch marker at the start of each round to maintain accuracy.

Measurements / Sizing

The finished doll is designed to be a small amigurumi figure, typically measuring approximately 8 to 10 inches tall depending on your yarn weight and personal tension.
