Queen Elizabeth I

Why Queen Elizabeth I? Because she ruled England, Ireland and Wales for 44 years all alone and her reign gave birth to a long period of prosperity, known as the Golden Age. Enduring pressure from all sides she avoided marriage, convinced she had the will and power to lead her kingdom herself-no husband needed, thank you! **Materials** For Queen Elizabeth I * 2.5 mm crochet hook * 100% 8-ply cotton; color used: skin color, white, light blue, dark grey, dark blue, burnt orange, small amount of pink * Yarn needle * 8mm safety eyes * Stitch marker * Fibrefill stuffing * 5mm (1/4 in) plastic pearl beads * Transparent beading cord For the crown * 2mm crochet hook * 100% 4-ply cotton; colors used: sunny yellow
