Questions
Which yarn colors do I need for Noel?
You need 7 colors of worsted weight (4) yarn: about 35 g (55 yd / 55 m) of blue for the body and arms, about 20 g (40 yd / 35 m) of beige for the head, about 10 g (15 yd / 15 m) of white for the beard and cuffs, about 5 g (5 yd / 5 m) of peach for the nose, about 20 g (35 yd / 30 m) of red for the hat, about 5 g (10 yd / 10 m) of gold for the belt and buttons and about 10 g (10 yd / 10 m) of black for the boots. You also need about 25 g of fiberfill and 2 safety eyes (8 mm).
How tall is Noel, and how many parts are there?
About 7.25 in (18 cm) tall. You crochet 10 parts (body, head, beard, nose, hat, belt, 3 buttons, 2 arms, 2 cuffs and 2 boots), 98 rounds in all, then follow 11 assembly steps to put Noel together.
Is Noel a good first amigurumi?
Yes, if you are happy with a slightly longer project. Noel uses only basic stitches (single crochet, increases and decreases in the round), but with 10 parts and 98 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.
