Final Dimensions:
From the soles of the feet to the top of the head, Edith measures approx. 8.5 inches. However,

this may vary depending on your yarn, hook and/or tension. To increase or decrease the finished

size of your amigurumi, have fun playing around with different hook sizes and yarn. You may

want to create a super bulky Edith instead!
