Questions
Which yarn colors do I need for Jolly?
You need 3 colors of worsted weight (4) yarn: about 40 g (70 yd / 60 m) of green for the body, hat and arms, about 25 g (45 yd / 40 m) of beige for the head, ears and nose and about 15 g (30 yd / 25 m) of red for the pompom, scarf and feet. You also need about 25 g of fiberfill and 2 safety eyes (10 mm).
How tall is Jolly, and how many parts are there?
About 7.5 in (19 cm) tall. You crochet 9 parts (body, head, 2 ears, nose, hat, pompom, scarf, 2 arms and 2 feet), 130 rounds in all, then follow 11 assembly steps to put Jolly together.
Is Jolly a good first amigurumi?
Yes, if you are happy with a slightly longer project. Jolly uses only basic stitches (single crochet, increases and decreases in the round), but with 9 parts and 130 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.
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.
