Heeey, apologies for the lack of patterns this month, but here’s a fancy one for FREE because I like not being sued by Disney. Also, in an attempt to have a more reliable schedule, I’ve decided Free Pattern Friday will be every other week. Regular patterns will be posted whenever they’re finished, as per usual. I’m also considering making “Mystery Pattern Monday” a thing where you have to figure out what you’re crocheting as you go. This is mainly an excuse for me not to take pictures but shhhhh.
Onto the actual pattern for this week. Outside of The Lion King I’m not a Disney person at all (if I’m honest Mickey and Minnie look a bit creepy to me); this was just made as a gift. There’s no Mickey pattern yet, but I’ll probably tweak this a bit and make it an upcoming Free Pattern Friday. The pattern itself is pretty straight-forward, there’s just a lot of pieces and a lot of sewing (my fingers hurt).
Final piece should measure about 6″ tall.
