With this pattern you can crochet yourself a Small Spirit, a creature that can be made in various different ways. The photos show various Spirits that I have made, using the same basic design but with many variations. The pattern gives you full instructions on how to make a Spirit the way you want.

You start with a body made with brushed mohair, add a simple face and arms, then you choose what kinds of ears, horns and other details you prefer.

What is your creature going to be a Spirit of? Maybe there’s some element of your life that you particularly want to represent, either something you love or something you’d like more of, or perhaps you will make your Spirit first then see what you feel it is.

The pattern is quite straightforward and suitable for beginner/intermediate crocheters. The instructions are detailed and easy to follow if you know the basic stitches and techniques used to make amigurumi. The pattern is a downloadable PDF file and you will need Adobe Reader to open it. I will be happy to answer any questions you may have as you are making it.

50g mohair or similar type of yarn, preferably with a mixture of colours.
