Head and Body (Bright Blue Yarn)
This section is worked as one continuous piece, starting from the top of the head and moving down to the body. Stuff firmly as you go.

Round 25: (3 sc, dec) x 6 [24] Round 26: (2 sc, dec) x 6 [18]
FO, leaving a long tail for sewing if you plan to attach legs separately, or continue directly to legs if joining. For this pattern, we will assume separate legs for better shaping.
Arms (Make 2 – Bright Blue Yarn)
Smurfette’s arms are small and simple. Do not stuff.
Round 1: MR 6 sc [6] Round 2-8: Sc in each st around (7 rounds) [6]
FO, leaving a long tail for sewing. Flatten the opening and sew to the sides of the body, just below the neck, ensuring they are symmetrical.

Smurfette’s legs are short and end with white ‘shoes’. Stuff firmly as you go.
Round 1: MR 6 sc [6] Round 2: (inc) x 6 [12] Round 3-6: Sc in each st around (4 rounds) [12]
Change to White Yarn
Round 7: Sc in each st around [12] Round 8: (dec) x 6 [6]
FO, leaving a long tail for sewing. Stuff the legs firmly. Sew the legs to the bottom of the body, positioning them to allow the Smurfette to stand or sit as desired.

Dress (White Yarn)
Smurfette’s dress is short and has a ruffled edge. This can be crocheted directly onto the body or made separately and attached. For a cleaner look, we will make it separately and attach it.

FO, leaving a long tail for sewing. Slip the dress onto the body and sew it securely around the waist, just above the legs.
Hair (Yellow Yarn)
Smurfette’s iconic blonde hair is created by attaching strands of yellow yarn to the head, under the hat. The image shows two distinct, thick, and slightly curled sections on either side of her face.
1.Cut Yarn Strands: Cut multiple strands of yellow yarn, each approximately 6-8 inches (15-20 cm) long. The exact length will depend on the desired hair length and curl. You will need a good amount to create the thick effect.
2.Attach Hair: Using your crochet hook, insert the hook into a stitch on Smurfette’s head, along the hairline where the hat will sit. Fold a strand of yellow yarn in half, loop it onto the hook, and pull the loop through the stitch. Then, pull the two ends of the yarn through the loop to create a knot (latch hook method). Pull tightly to secure.
3.Placement: Continue attaching strands of yarn in rows, focusing on the areas that will form the side curls. Work from the front hairline towards the back, creating a dense coverage. Ensure the hair is concentrated on the sides of the head to form the distinct pigtail-like curls.
4.Style and Trim: Once all hair strands are attached, you can gently separate the strands and use your fingers to shape them into the desired curls. You may need to lightly mist with water and let them dry in place, or even use a small amount of fabric stiffener if you want a more defined curl. Trim the ends to an even length, or layer them for a more natural look, matching the image as closely as possible.
Assembly
1.Attach Arms: Pin the arms to the sides of the body, just below the neck, ensuring they are symmetrical. Sew them securely in place.
2.Attach Legs: Pin the legs to the bottom of the body, ensuring they are evenly spaced and allow the amigurumi to stand or sit as desired. Sew them securely.
3.Attach Dress: Slip the dress onto the body and sew it securely around the waist, just above the legs.
4.Attach Hair: Follow the instructions in the ‘Hair’ section to attach the yellow yarn strands to the head.
5.Attach Hat: Sew the hat to the top of Smurfette’s head, positioning it slightly to one side as seen in the image, covering the top of the hair.
Facial Features and Details
1.Eyes: If you used safety eyes, ensure they are securely fastened. Using white yarn, embroider a small white crescent or dot on the upper outer corner of each black pupil for the eye highlight. This gives them a lively, cartoonish look.
2.Nose: The nose is formed by the shaping of the head. No additional embroidery is typically needed unless you wish to emphasize it with a small stitch.
3.Mouth (Black Yarn): Using black embroidery floss or thin black yarn, embroider a simple, curved smile line on Smurfette’s face, centered below the nose. Use a backstitch for a clean line.
Finishing
•Weave in all remaining loose ends securely.
•Gently shape your Mini Smurfette amigurumi, ensuring all parts are well-stuffed and proportioned.
•Enjoy your adorable new Smurfette!
