I would like to share with you this pattern created by Russian designer Elena Belova.

This Cricket is a character of the children's book about Pinocchio.
The presented video pattern was created by another Russian-speaker crocheter (it seems that she lives in the USA). But since that video is presented only in Russian (even without English subtitles), I add the English-language pattern.
I want to thank Louise Carstens from South Africa, who worked a lot on the translation. Of course, she used the written pattern and the Google Translate (and you know, this is not easy work!) But she have translated almost everything, except for some specific Russian words and expressions. So I helped her and found that video version of the pattern. The doll above, by the way, is the result of my testing this pattern.
I hope this video and our addition will help you to make your Cricket.
