For this pattern you will need any thickness crochet cotton or yarn, I used Scheepjes Catona crochet cotton colours (115) Hot Red, (105) Bridal White and (162) Black Coffee. A crochet hook, I used a 2.5mm hook. A darning needle to weave in ends. A pair of scissors. Sewing thread and a needle to stitch the gymnast together. A black bead, black felt or fine black cotton for the eye if desired.
The finished size will be 12.5cm wide x 18cm high (5” wide x 7” high) for the larger gymnast, using 8 ply crochet cotton. The size of the gymnast in Catona will be 13cm wide x 16cm high (5” wide x 6.25” high). The medium gymnast will be 9.5cm wide x 12.5cm high (3.75” wide x 5” high) when using 4 ply crochet cotton. The small gymnast will be 6cm wide x 9.5cm high (2.5” wide x 3.75” high) when using 2 ply crochet cotton.
