💕 A note about the pattern

Floria is designed for crocheters who enjoy adding small decorative details to their amigurumi. The pattern combines crochet, embroidery, shaping, sewing, and a little bit of creativity to create a unique woodland fairy.

You can customize Floria's colors to match your own style or the season.

Please note: This is a digital crochet pattern (PDF), not a finished doll or a physical product.

🌿 Safety

Safety eyes are not recommended for toys intended for children under 3 years old. For a younger child's toy, embroidered eyes are recommended instead. Because the wings are attached with a snap fastener, the attachment should be checked regularly; for very young children, the wings can be sewn permanently to the dress instead.

I hope you enjoy bringing Floria to life, stitch by stitch! 🌿
