# Cute Fairy Amigurumi Crochet Pattern

**Difficulty Level**: Advanced  
**Finished Size**: Approximately 8-9 inches (20-23 cm) tall

## MATERIALS

**Yarn**: Worsted weight (4) yarn in the following colors:
- Color A (Skin tone - peach/tan): 100 yards
- Color B (Dress color - your choice): 80 yards  
- Color C (Hair color): 60 yards
- Color D (Wings - white, sparkle, or pastel): 50 yards
- Small amounts of contrasting colors for details (optional)

**Hook**: US E-4 (3.5mm) or size needed to obtain gauge

**Other Materials**:
- 9mm safety eyes (2)
- Polyester fiberfill stuffing
- Yarn needle
- Stitch marker
- 2 pieces of 20-gauge floral wire, 8 inches (20 cm) each (optional, for posable wings)
- Small amount of pink embroidery floss or yarn for cheeks
- Pins for assembly
- Wire cutters (if using wire in wings)

**Gauge**: 20 sc and 22 rows = 4 inches (10 cm) in single crochet with tight tension  
*Gauge is critical for amigurumi - work tightly so stuffing doesn't show through*

## ABBREVIATIONS
- ch = chain
- sc = single crochet
- inc = increase (2 sc in same stitch)
- dec = invisible decrease (insert hook in front loops only of next 2 sts, yarn over, pull through both, yarn over, pull through all 3 loops)
- sl st = slip stitch
- st(s) = stitch(es)
- rnd(s) = round(s)
- BLO = back loops only
- FLO = front loops only
- [ ] = stitch count at end of round
- ( ) = repeat instructions within parentheses

## SPECIAL NOTES
- Work in continuous spiral rounds unless otherwise stated. Use stitch marker to track beginning of round.
- Do not join or turn unless pattern specifies.
- Stuff body parts firmly as you work, especially before decreasing rounds.
- Count your stitches frequently to ensure accuracy.
- Insert safety eyes before closing head completely.

**Decorative Edging** (optional but recommended for advanced finish):

Do not fasten off. Work around entire wing edge:

**ch 1, work sc evenly around entire wing, working (sc, ch 2, sc) in each corner for definition**. Join with sl st to first sc. Fasten off, leaving long tail for sewing.

**Optional Wire Support**: If making posable wings, cut floral wire slightly shorter than wing length. Carefully insert wire along center of wing and tack in place with a few whip stitches using matching thread. This allows wings to be posed at different angles.

Make second wing identical to first.
