{ }{ }
Materials Abbreviations (US Terms)
- 3.00 mm crochet hook (US C) st = stitch
- 100 % cotton yarn for a 3.00 mm hook ch = chain

You will need:

A color for her skin, grey for her hair, white for her underwear and one of the flowers of her hat, the color of
your choice for her coat and hat (I chose light blue), and black for her shoes, purse and other details.
Oh! And a bit of pink to embroider her cheeks and for the other flower in her hat.
I use 100% cotton yarn.

Finished size:
From head to toe, Queen Elizabeth measures 23 cm approximately.
Of course, should you choose a different hook and yarn, final measures will vary…

Ready? Let’s begin!

Queen Elizabeth is crocheted from her little legs to her head in rounds… Then, you’ll crochet the coat…

{Start stuffing the head…}
48. Crochet *4 sc, one decrease*, repeat * (30)

STOP!! Let’s take a break here and start crocheting

the coat, because it will be easier to do so without the
head interfering… Place a stitch marker in the last
stitch, so it won’t come off and cut the yarn, so the ball
doesn’t bother. We’ll get back to it later…

Coat

for her coat in one of the front loops of round 30,
