Hey Everyone,
I posted a pictue earlier of some of my crochet work. My specialty is
"amigurumi" work. I've only been doing it a few months, but have
already designed quite a few of my own original patterns. This is
the first I've ever posted any of my patterns, and so I'd just love to
have a few testers. For a quick crocheter it should only take you
an hour-2 or so, as this is how long it takes me (not that I'm a
very fast crocheter lol). For some of the slower workers, its still
quite easy within a day's work. :) Let me know what you think,
and hope you like it. Thanks.

Well, I'm an australian, with aussie hooks But I used 4 ply yarn and a size 2 aussie crochet hook. Hope that helps a bit You can also make this with cotton (thread), and if you make it with 8 ply yarn and a larger hook, it will turn out a nice larger size, but you'll need a bigger dress
