Welcome to my crochet lady tutorial. This is the video tutorial for my crochet lady pattern.
In this tutorial I’ve used the heads from the mermaid tutorial and the ballerina tutorial.
For this pattern for the lady with ballerina head you will need any thickness crochet cotton or yarn, I used Scheepjes Catona cotton colours (115) Hot Red, (130) Old Lace, (162) Black Coffee and (106) Snow White. A crochet hook, I used a 2.5mm hook. A darning needle to weave in ends. Scissors. Thread and needle to stitch the lady together. Black beads or black thread to embroider on the eyes. Red thread to embroider on a mouth. Beads if desired for a necklace.
Using the ballerina pattern, I worked a head using (130) Old Lace, left side of hair, right side of hair, ponytail and side hair using (162) black coffee and a bow using (115) Hot Red.
For the lady with mermaid head, you will need any thickness crochet cotton or yarn, I used Scheepjes Catona cotton colours (510) Sky Blue, (105) Bridal White, (404) English Tea and (106) Snow White. A crochet hook, I used a 2.5mm hook. A darning needle to weave in ends. Scissors. Thread and needle to stitch the lady together. Black beads or black thread to embroider on the eyes. Pink thread to embroider on a mouth. Beads if desired for a necklace and a bead for the centre of the flower.
Using the mermaid pattern, I worked a head using (105) bridal white, front of hair and back of hair using (404) English tea and a flower using (510) Sky Blue.
The finished lady will be 15cm wide x 25cm high (6” wide x 9.75” high) and will look like this.
In the tutorial video I’ll show you how to make the bodice and the skirt. Then I’ll guide you through making the shoulders, neck, arms and shoes. And finally, I’ll show you how to join all of the pieces together.
