Chibi doll Suzume is petite version of Amilishly Doll Suzume and inspired on the Japanese Mori Style. Suzume is a Japanese name meaning sparrow, so it was fitting she would recieve this name. Chibi Suzume measures about 12 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.

This pattern is currently available in DUTCH. The pattern can be found in the Dutch Magazine Handwerken Zonder Grenzen.

Chibi doll Suzume is a crocheted doll attached clothing and a removable headband. This pattern includes the doll with her dress, and headband. She is made seamless, so no seaming parts afterwards.

Yarn:

• Yarn and Colors Must-Have in different colors for the doll and clothes: Colors are Pearl, Black, Teak, Mustard.
• Scheepjes Maxi Sweet Treat for the flower on the headband: Color is Linen.

Hook:
This doll is crocheted with a 2.0mm hook and the suggested yarn above. 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
In single crochet: 17 sc x 17 rows measures 5x5 cm, using Must Have and a 2.0mm hook.
Gauge, however is not important for this pattern. Different hooks and different yarn give you a different size for your doll, but the proportions stay intact.

Notions
Needle for weaving ends, scissors, fibrefill, stitchmarker. Also needed: glue and pins for her hair.
