Crafty Intentions CROCHET PATTERN Insect Pixies (printable PDF-file / 87 pages)
Developed by Megan Lapp aka Crafty Intentions, this is an Insect Pixies pattern!!! This pattern is written in U.S. terminology.
This pattern comes with instructions to make Insect Pixies!! There are THREE different options to customize your Insect Pixie!!! First you make the Pixie body, then you can choose one of three options to ornament it! There are instructions for a Honey Bee Jacket, Wings, and Stinger, there are instructions for a long elegant Dragon Fly wing cloak, and there are instructions for a butterfly wing that you can use in a ton of different ways! This pattern features clear step by step instruction with a lot of row-by-row photos. The gauge is not crucial to the pattern as long as the stitches are tight enough to hold stuffing.
This pattern is a total of 87 pages containing a full set of written instructions with photographic illustrations, and there are video tutorials for particular steps and stitches available on my YouTube channel. This Pattern consists of ONE PDF File, and the last 20 pages are Text-Only, Printer-Friendly instructions, but I strongly recommend you still refer to the photographic illustrations throughout the pattern if you have any questions.
