Finished Size: 25inches
Gauge: Not essential for Project
Notes:
The actual size of your hook doesn't really matter, as long as your hook and yarn choices result
in tight even stitches. Crocheting too loosely, or using too large of a hook for the yarn
weight, will result in the stuffing showing through.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Each round is written in the following format
Sc, inc (18) --- as an example
This means when working through project the instructions will repeat unless otherwise
indicated. The numbers in ( ) at the end of each round or row, indicates the total number of
stitches that should be in that round or row. Each round is worked in a continuous spiral you
will not need to join rounds. For further tips there is a General Instructions page at the end of
the pattern
It's highly recommended that you read through the pattern completely before beginning to
familiarize yourself with the entire process
The Base of the Queen is all done in Black. The rest of the pieces list which colors are used.

General Instructions
Stuffing
Stuff your toys firmly so they retain their shape and don’t look droopy. Be
careful not to overstuff them, though, because the stuffing will stretch the fabric and
may show through the stitches. I always use polyester fiberfill stuffing because it’s
nonallergenic, wont bunch up, and it’s washable, which is always good when making
toys, make sure you follow the yarn care instructions on the label
How to change yarn colors
Some projects require alternating two colors in the body. To do this, work the last
stitch of a round until one step remains in the stitch; then work the last step with the
new color and continue the round in the new color.
Adding the extremities
I always use a tapestry needle and the same color of yarn as the pieces (or at least
one of the pieces) That I want to sew together. When sewing pieces to the body, make
sure they are securely attached so that little fingers can’t pull them off.
On some animals, the opening of the extremities will remain open for sewing
onto the body; the instructions will tell you when to leave them open. Position the limb
on the body and sew all around it, going through the front stitches of both the limb and
the body.
On other animals, the opening of the extremities will be sewn closed before being
attached to the body. To do this, pinch the opening closed, line up the stitches of one
side with the other side, and sew through the front loop of one side and the back loop of
the other side. Position the piece where you want it on the body and sew.
Weaving in ends
Weaving in ends is easy on little ami pieces. Because the pieces are stuffed,
simply pull the tails to the inside of the piece and leave them. The tails will be secure
inside the pieces. If there are any tails left after sewing into the body, pull it out 1-2
inches away, and snip close to the piece, being careful not to cut the crochet stitches.
