Betsy the Huggable Ballerina!

Introducing Betsy the Huggable Ballerina! She's the newest of the Huggable Buddies & I absolutely love how she turned out!


All of the previous Huggable Buddies have had Sleepy Eyes. Someone that didn't quite suit her! This little lady is ready to dance & definitely isn't about to fall asleep. I tried quite a few different eyes before settling on these 15mm solid black eyes.

Betsy is 18 inches tall & has built in tights, leotard, tutu & ballet slippers. Her hair is in a bun & is made in one piece. All of the limbs are made first & attached as you go so there is very little assembly! All of the little finishing details really make this girl special: the bow & headband in her hair, the laces on her slippers, & the braided straps on her leotard. There are step-by-step directions on how to do all of them!

To make Betsy you'll need:

  • An 8mm (L) hook
  • Bernat Blanket Yarn in 4 colors:
  1. Hair: 25 yards
  2. Tights: 30 yards
  3. Skin: 55 yards
  4. Outfit: 70 yards
  • Lots of stuffing!
  • Blunt needle large enough for Super Bulky yarn
  • 15mm eyes
Pattern is available on Ravelry, Etsy, & Craftsy!

Don't forget to make a Ravelry Project to show off your Ballerina!
