Questions
Which yarn colors do I need for Fern?
You need 4 colors of worsted weight (4) yarn: about 60 g (110 yd / 100 m) of rust for the body, head, ears, legs and tail, about 5 g (5 yd / 5 m) of peach for the muzzle, about 5 g (10 yd / 10 m) of cream for the horns and about 5 g (10 yd / 10 m) of caramel for the fringe. You also need about 25 g of fiberfill and 2 safety eyes (10 mm).
How tall is Fern, and how many parts are there?
About 6.5 in (16 cm) tall. You crochet 8 parts (body, head, muzzle, 2 horns, 2 ears, fringe, 2 legs and tail), 84 rounds in all, then follow 10 assembly steps to put Fern together.
Is Fern a good first amigurumi?
Yes, if you are happy with a slightly longer project. Fern uses only basic stitches (single crochet, increases and decreases in the round), but with 8 parts and 84 rounds it takes longer than our easiest toys. For a very first toy, a shorter one from our easy amigurumi patterns for beginners is quicker.
Is there a matching blanket?
Yes: the Highland Cow C2C Blanket Crochet Pattern, a 50 × 45 chart that makes a 38 × 34 in blanket in worsted yarn. Add one more pattern to your basket and you save 35% on all of them.
Which languages are included?
You get four PDFs: English, French, German and Spanish. The English version uses US crochet terms, and the stitch page lists the UK names too.
How do I get the pattern?
Right after checkout you get an email with your download links. You can download your PDFs again from that email any time.
