Good Morning Everyone,
I wanted to create something fun. Exploring my childhood days I guess. A week ago I had created a larger version of this Baby Smurf (Benji and Barney Bigfoot) shown below.
I had thoughts of making a smaller version and using up some yarn remnants. I came upon Baby Smurf, offering you this free pattern which I designed. The finished size of this doll is 6 inches without the hat and 10 inches with the hat. Size is dependent on the yarn and hook used. So, let's get started.
Materials used:
3.75 crochet hook (F-5)
Yarn #4 weight
White
Blue
Black (DK-sport yarn for eyebrows and hair sprigs)
Stitch markers
Yarn needle
Polyfil for stuffing
Safety eyes size 9mm
Terms and Symbols used:
sc single crochet
hdc half double crochet
MC magic circle (if you're not familiar here is a link for you on YouTube.
INC increase
DC decrease
