Cinderella Crochet Pattern

Cinderella's dearest wish comes true with this crochet amigurumi pattern. She wears a blue dress decorated with silver moons and stars, and crystal slippers made of silver metallic yarn. Any little girl will love carrying her around in her own little horse and buggy. Small amounts of yellow or gold hair will certainly scream Cinderella, but you can easily use a different color to make a mini-me type. This is an easy crochet pattern you don't want to miss out on.

This looks like a nice project, but like too many that are posted directly on this site, there arent nearly enough photos to adequately work up this pattern. There are even references IN this pattern that refer to specific pages in the authors book but they dont appear on this page. I did look the book up on Amazon but couldnt peek inside to check on photos or graphs.

This pattern is marked as easy but when I look at all of the details, I just do not think easy is the right skill level. I did read over the directions and they are clearly written but I wish there were more pictures provided. What little girl would not appreciate this princess to add to the collection?

Oh this is sweet. I guess I know what I will be doing this weekend. I have made my grand daughter a Bella and Ariel doll like this. Now I will have to add Cinderella and then Snow White. They have to be princesses for her. Thank you for sharing this one.
