Celebrate the King’s coronation in May with a tiny crochet version of him. He’s ready to rule with his crown, robes and Sovereign’s Orb.
NOTES
Pattern is worked in the amigurumi method. Work stitches in a continuous spiral without closing off each round with a slip stitch. It may help to mark the first stitch of each round, moving it up as you work.
Warning: This is not a toy. Not suitable for children, due to risk from small parts.
The Rico Baby Teddy Aran is referred to as Teddy White in the pattern to differentiate from the White Cotton DK.
