Happy June!
This month’s Midi tier pattern is Dopey from Snow White.
As I did with Sleepy, I started off with the base pattern that I created for Grumpy and then made some alterations. The biggest change was to the shape of the head and the jacket.
Overall, I am very happy with how everything turned out. There was some slight contouring done to the jawline and to create a nose crevice but this was minimal due to the stiffness of the cotton yarn.
Unlike with Grumpy and Sleepy, Dopey does not have a beard so it was more important to try and get the facial details right. The only thing that I would do differently is to stitch, rather than to glue on the eyebrow edges. I think that they would appear to be more seamless if they were stitched on.
Also, with Dopey I did the sleeves a little different. previously to keep that ribbed effect that is created from chaining and turning your work, I crocheted the sleeves separately and attached them afterwards. This time I just crocheted the sleeves directly onto the jacket.
To compete Dopey there is very minimal sewing required for this pattern, making the assembly process quick and very straightforward.
Dopey’s overall dimensions are 7.5 inches tall (including the hat) and 6 inches wide with the arms stretched out.

I hope that this pattern was easy to follow.
In July and August I will not be releasing any Patreon patterns due to a planned Hiatus. Do not worry though because I will be back to posting patterns in September.
Until the next post, happy crocheting!
