Miss Hopper Crochet Toy Pattern by Just Lillibit Toys

What is Being Made

Miss Hopper is a crocheted amigurumi-style toy from the LilliBo "Hop" Series, designed by Just Lillibit Toys (designer Lisa Moultrie). This is a downloadable PDF pattern for creating a charming handmade stuffed toy suitable for gift-giving or personal crafting projects.

Crochet Techniques Used

This pattern employs fundamental amigurumi construction techniques, including color switching and color changes to create distinct design elements. The toy is worked in the round using standard crochet shaping methods. Invisible decreases are utilized to create seamless shaping and professional finishing. The pattern incorporates basic to intermediate crochet skills, making it accessible to crafters with foundational knowledge who are ready to progress beyond absolute beginner projects.

Crochet Stitches Used

• Chain (ch) – foundation stitch for starting sections
• Single Crochet (sc) – primary stitch for building structure
• Half Double Crochet (HDC) – used for varied texture and drape
• Double Crochet (DC) – creates taller stitches for specific shaping
• Triple Crochet (TR) – the tallest stitch in the pattern for particular design elements
• Slip Stitch (sl st) – joins rounds and transitions between sections
• Invisible Decrease (INVDEC) – creates seamless decreasing for professional shaping
• Back Loop Only (BLO) – textured stitch variation worked through back loops only

Yarn and Materials

The pattern uses a combination of yarn weights to achieve its design. Paintbox Chunky 352 in Ballet Pink provides the primary color for the toy's main body, creating a soft, cuddly texture with excellent stitch definition. Paintbox DK 104 in Stormy Grey and Paintbox DK 100 in Champagne White are used for accent details and secondary elements, allowing for color blocking and design contrast.

Essential tools include a 3mm crochet hook for working with the chunky yarn and a 2.5mm crochet hook for the finer DK-weight yarns used in details. Additional materials include black embroidery thread or yarn for facial features, safety eyes (optional, for added character), a yarn needle for weaving in ends and assembling pieces, a stitch marker for tracking rounds, and basic scissors for finishing.
