GAUGE
Gauge isn’t important for this pattern. Just make sure your stitches are tight to avoid stuffing show through. My finished Flower Gal measures approximately 7.5 inches tall.
CROCHET STITCHES & ABBREVIATIONS (US TERMINOLOGY)
ch – chain
rnd(s) – round(s)
mr – magic ring
st(s) – stitch(es)
sl st – slip stitch
sc – single crochet
inc – single crochet increase

dc – double crochet
tr – treble crochet

NOTES
- All sections are worked in a continuous round, unless otherwise specified.
- Mark the beginning of each round with a stitch marker.
- Demonstration photos are shown right handed.
- Make pieces in the order presented
- Not all yarns are created equal! Yarns listed as the same weight (e.g. worsted) frequently differ in size and stretch. Knitcraft Cotton Blend DK is on the thicker end of DK weight yarns.
- To change color, take the last yarn over of st with new color. Continue working with new color.
- My favorite method of attaching pieces is the Amigurumi Seamless Join Method by June Gilbank of Planet June.
