Look at these two. Aren´t they cute? Josie and her daughter Mary wait for spring to finally come. But as waiting is very exhausting little Mary is snuggling in Mama Josie´s arms and dreams of green fields of grass and lots of flowers :) And now I hope you have lots of fun to crochet your very own Josie and Mary.

I crochet Josie with the yarn Easy from Elisa (DK / 8 ply (11 wpi)/1,76 oz=142 yds. and Mary with Lisa from Gründl DK (11 wpi)/1,76 oz=146 yds. For Josie you can alternatively use the yarn Bravo by Schachenmayr (DK (11 wpi)/1,76 oz=147 yds. The yarn for Mary should be a little thinner then the yarn for Josie – as Mary is a child :)

Depending on the yarn and hook size the size of Josie and Mary may vary.

If you have questions you can contact me anytime.

You need skills for: Chain(s), slip stitch, single crochet, magic ring (yarn ring) and increase/decrease
