Lulu the Pixie is an amigurumi (crochet) pattern for intermediate crocheters. The pattern is written in English using US terms and my finished Lulu measures 19cm (7 1/2 inches) tall. Your crochet tension, yarn and hook size used will determine the size of your finished item.

Materials:
 2.5m hook/C-2 (US)
 4ply yarn/fingering
 Less than 50g yarn in NUDE, APRICOT, PLUM, BLUE and PINK
 6mm safety eyes

Abbreviations:
 ch = chain
 MR = magic ring
 sc = single crochet
 hdc = half double crochet
 dc = double crochet
 inc = single crochet increase (2 sc in one stitch)
 dec = decrease (sc 2 together)
 sl st = slip stitch
 BLO = back loops only
 (..) = repeat the space in brackets the given number of times
 .. = total number of stitches

Notes:
 A yarn with no stretch is best for amigurumi, I ordinarily use cotton or cotton blend.
 Amigurumi is usually stitched in the round (unless it says otherwise).
 For this pattern, the following yarns were used:
o NUDE = King Cole Giza Cotton 4ply in “2191 Cream”
o APRICOT = Scheepjes Catona in “255 Shell”
o PLUM King Cole Giza Cotton 4ply in “2421 Boysenberry”
o BLUE = King Cole Giza Cotton 4ply in “2198 Bluebell”
o PINK = Bendigo Woollen Mills 4ply cotton in “805 Pink Rose”
 I crochet loosely and use a 2.5mm hook with 4ply yarn. Generally, the hook you use for amigurumi will be a smaller than for other crochet as you want the stitches tight to keep stuffing from showing and for any attachments to stay in place.
 The yarn thickness and hook size used will affect the size of the finished item. My Lulu the Pixie is approximately 19cm tall (7 ½ inches).
 I have used safety eyes for this pattern but you may embroider. Please ensure that there are no loose fittings.
