Hello, this is Tiny, AKA tinymoonrabbit! I am excited to share new projects with you on this blog. Please bear with me as I get familiar with this new environment, and you are very welcome to share tips with me on how to make everything more presentable and accessible to you.
If you'd like to get in contact with me, you can find me on Instagram @tinymoonrabbitcrochet
The first project I want to share is my Clefairy, which you might have seen many times already. Thank you for loving this pattern so much, it has generated over 21K views and it's always delightful to see your creations! However, I am in the process of retiring my old DeviantART, so I decided to move it here. I might come back and rework it, but for now I will be copying and pasting the text as I wrote it originally.
THIS PATTERN WAS FIRST PUBLISHED ON APRIL 11TH, 2016.
NOTES
~If you have a question or notice mistakes, drop a comment and I will try to reply as soon as I can.
~I consider this pattern to be fairly simple, and I'll try to explain everything as well as I can, however I do strongly recommend you give it a read before you start.
~She comes out quite small (my brother cupped her with both his hands :XD:) so if you want a Clefairy that's huggable, you can double the yarn and use a thicker hook.
~I deliberately made the wings and tail a slightly darker pink, but that's optional.
~I also chose to do the ears half/half between pink and brown because I think it looks cuter, but it should be easy to crochet the inside of the ear if you want it to be 100% accurate.
~The eyes and mouth are needle felted. Alternatively, you can cut the pieces from felt and sew them on. I prefer needle felting because, personally, I don't like the way felt looks on an amigurumi toy.
~Please share your work with me if you use this patter, I would love to see.

Now might be a good idea to start stuffing. The crocheting will give the body the egg-like shape, so just stuff evenly and quite firmly, but be careful not to overstuff as it might look stiff. Keep stuffing until the end.

10. inc, sc5 (28), slip stitch and break off. Leave tail for sewing later.
HEAD CURL (pink)
1. MR6
2. inc, sc (9)
3. inc, sc2 (12)
4. inc, sc3 (16)
5. sc around for 14 rounds. (You can add or remove rounds depending on how long you want the curl to be).
Stuff lightly. I flattened the open end and sewed it shut.
ARMS(pink) (make 2)
1. MR6
2. inc all (12)
3. sc around (12)
4. inc, sc2 (16)
5. sc around(16)
6. do not ch1, turn, sc8
7. do not ch1, turn, sc 18 around (on the turning points that go higher, do 2 sc to make it look more even. That's where the 2 extra stitches come from), and continue with 9sc. slip stitch and break off
FINGERS (3mm hook, make 2 pink, 4 white ones)
1. MR4
2. inc, sc (6)
LEGS (pink) (make 2)
1. MR6
2. inc all (12)
3. inc, sc (18)
4. inc, sc2 (24)
5. sc around (24)
6. inc, sc3 (30)
7. do not ch1, turn, sc 14
8. do not ch1, turn, sc13
9. continue with sc20 (again, when you hit the turning point, do 2 sc on there). slip stitch and break off
TOES (white) (make 2)
1. MR6
2. inc, sc2 (8)
3. sc4, do not complete round. slip stitch and break off
CHEEKS (dark pink) (make 2)
1. Ch4
2. inc (we'll call the very first sc the first stitch), sc, inc6
3. on other side of chain, sc, sc in starting chain, slip stitch on first stitch, break off.
WINGS (pink) (MAKE 4)
❗An alternative of this (bad) wing pattern is simply any YouTube video of how to crochet an applique heart :) I found many I liked, but I was bored to follow them because they were so long, so I improvised.

The reason why I made 4 is because I wanted to hide the wrong sides. Take 2 hearts, right sides facing out, and join them with a sc border (make a slip stitch in the center so that the heart tops keep their shape).
TAIL (pink)
1. MR6
2. inc all (12)
3. inc, sc (18)
sc around for 40-45 rounds, depending on how long you want it to look like.
:bulletgreen: Stuff as you go, and unlike the head curl, I suggest you do not close the tail.
ASSEMBLY
I recommend pinning everything down before sewing, ESPECIALLY the curl and tail. Sew the ears on the body. Sew the flat part of the curl between and a little behind the ears (should be on about the same round as the further back part of the ears), then curl it and pin it in place. Sew it when you are satisfied.
Sew the arms on each side of the body. The turning points have given them a bit of an angle. Next, sew the fingers. The pink ones are the thumbs.
Sew the legs on each side. Again, the turning points have given them an angle so you should be able to tell left from right. If you find it difficult to pin them while stuffed, you can sew half of the leg, then stuff it and sew the rest. Sew the toes near the bottom, the two increases are the sides. If you pinch and pin accordingly, they should look somewhat oval-shaped.
Pin the tail before you sew it. I suggest you place it low on the back, that way Clefairy will stand on her own because of it. I did not flatten the open end because I wanted it to look rounder and chubby. Once you've attached it, curl it the way you want and pin it. Sew when you're satisfied. I curled it parallel to the body, if you want to curl it in a different direction, you may have to position the base elsewhere. If you like how i did it, check my tumblr post for more references.
Pin the wings just above the tail, and sew their base on the body. Leave the rest free.
I suggest you attach the cheeks after you've made the eyes and mouth.
