Auw anita! she's lovely! i already have her in my to-do list and it's very sweet of you to share it for free. thank you!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, talk about sweet and cute. And you're shaing the pattern, thank you so much!!! Have a wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteVery cute! Thank you so much for sharing the pattern for free, I cannot wait to make a whole bunch for my two girls :o)
ReplyDeleteThank you all for your sweet comments! You are most welcome for the pattern. I am so glad that you like her. My 5yo niece stayed with me last night and she carried this one around the whole time! That's the true test...when something you make is loved that much by a little, you know you've got it right! And of course, she'll have one of her very own ready & waiting on her when she comes back on Thursday!
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed day my friends!
Anita, this little fairy is so SWEET!! I can't wait to make one! Thank you for sharing your pattern! ~tina
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Tina for your sweet words. You're welcome for the pattern. I'm so glad you like it. I'd love to see what you make!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Anita
She is darling! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Caroline!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you like her & you are most welcome for the pattern!
Hugs,
Anita
Oh my she is so so cute! She is adorable
ReplyDeleteHehehe...thanks! Now I'm trying to decide if I want to come up with a knit version as well...hmmmmmm....?
ReplyDeleteAaaw she's lovely. You know my fear of toymaking - would she be a good first toy project?? How big is she - would she be suitable for a 18month year old girlie??
ReplyDeleteYou were who inspired me to make her! I think she will be a very good project for you to start out with. I would probably embroider her eyes instead of using the safety eyes since she's so young, but other than that she would be great for her. She is about 6 1/2" tall & 4 1/2" wide (including the wings).
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see pics if you decide to make her!
She's so adorable. thanks for sharing her!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
ReplyDeleteYou're most welcome, I'm so glad you like her!
I just love her skinny little arms and legs!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I was going for the "stick figure" look for them.
ReplyDeleteSuch a darling little sprite :-) And how very generous of you to share the pattern. Thank-you very much!
ReplyDeleteBeth
Thank you so much Beth! I'm happy to share her with you.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Anita
what a tiny cute girl :) love her :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! She's real easy to make too...and so many ways to personalize her...hair color, flower skirt and bodice colors.♥
ReplyDeleteHello, Thank you so much for the FREE pattern. I had so much fun making her that I couldn't put her down, I now am ready to start making another one! I love your design, thank you so much for sharing!!!
ReplyDeleteYou're so welcome! I'm glad you're enjoying it!♥
ReplyDeleteif you don't mind, what did you use for the eyes? I can't find anything that looks right.
ReplyDeleteHi Kynzie, I use safety eyes. You can find them at the craft stores in the section where you would find doll bodies and hair, etc...or go to Etsy and search for safety eyes.
ReplyDeleteHope this helps hun!♥
She is adorable - I will try to tackle the pattern! Thanks so much for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteOoooh! I hope you do!
ReplyDeleteThank you my sweet friend!♥
Thank you for posting this, what a fun project! I just can't seem to understand how to make the hands. HELP!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! What exactly are you having a hard time with sweetie?
ReplyDeleteI have tried several tries, I don't know if I turn the hand in round 2 or continue in a circle... I am so confused.
ReplyDeleteYou will continue working in a circle. This will have you working around the original ch 10 (which will come out of the center of the hand to make the arm). It is a little tight to work because you are only working in 4sc, but don't give up!
ReplyDeleteRound 3 is continuing in a circle as well...and it gets tighter.
You single chain the first two stitches together, then slip stitch into the next stitch. Next you ch 2 then slip stitch into the same stitch you slip stitched into before the ch 2. (this makes a little mini picot that makes up the thumb). Then finish off!
I sure hope this helps! If not, I will gladly work with you until we get it! :)
Yes! I think I got it now. Thank you :)))
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you got it!!! I'd love to see a pic when you're done! You can email it to aseknc@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteWOW!! ^_^ so cute, Thank you very much for share very nice pattern :D and how to do it, you are so kind, hhhmmm..I would like to try one ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! You are very welcome for the pattern. :) I'd love to see how your fairy turns out if you try it!
