This pattern uses simple stitches (sc, hdc, picot stitch) and requires only minimal sewing for the hair, accessories, and other small details. However, it is considered intermediate-advanced due to its structure, details, and assembly.
Kiyoko takes approx. 3–5 hours to complete (excluding accessories), depending on your chosen options, skill level, and crocheting speed.
