Sassy Suzette is a large and lovely diva ready for shopping and a pedicure! She's 17" tall from the tip of her strappy sandals to the top of her poufy hair. Wonderful whimsical plus-size shaping is made with increases and decreases and a small amount of optional needlesculpting. Skill level is intermediate.

Crochet Suzette with Worsted Weight Yarn. You will need F-5 (3.75mm) or G-6 (4mm)Crochet Hooks, 1 yard of 1/4" ribbon, enough beads of any kind to string a 7-8" length, bead stringing thread and needle, a Tapestry Needle, polyester fiberfill, and 3/8" (9.5mm) black round doll eyes and glue for eyes (use French knots and black yarn if this will be a toy for a child).
