First on the list, we have Brooke, in all her glory. Doesn’t she look sweet? This video tutorial will guide you in creating your rendition of Brooke and teach you how to crochet all the limbs, including the arms, legs, shoes, and the body. This is a three-part series on YouTube, so check out Part 2 and Part 3 of the tutorials here.
Lylah Doll Crochet Pattern
Lylah is perhaps the sweetest, most feminine amigurumi doll on this list! She has removable hair, a dress, little shoes, rosy cheeks, and a cute outfit that completes her look. She is quite literally a crochet Barbie doll, about 27cm tall.
The Friendly Grace Crochet Doll
Grace, the amigurumi doll, is graceful inside and out, like her name! She has a head of gorgeous ginger locks, a ruffled tutu, and some crisscross shoes. We are absolutely in love with her, and we can't wait to get started on her design. She is about 15" tall and 3" wide.
Heirloom Doll Dress
Now that you have made your Heirloom Crochet Doll, you will want to make a crochet doll dress of every color to go along with it. This little dress works up so fast and is the perfect addition to an heirloom doll gift. I have several doll dress designs drawn out for the Heirloom Doll, but I decided to start with a dress that does not require any buttons or Velcro to fasten it around the doll. This makes it safer for young children, like my 22 month old daughter.
Hawaiian Hula Dancer Amigurumi Girl Doll
The Hawaiian Hula Dancer features this sweet Pacific Islander girl named Leilani. She wears a red top, a removable green hula skirt, and a removable crown of beautiful, red flowers in her long, black hair. This is a relatively quick and easy crochet project, and makes the perfect gift for kids who would love playing with toy dolls that have accessories! This doll pattern is a variation of Sweet Softies’ Baby Bean Doll. To make the Hawaiian Hula Girl, you will also need pattern instructions for the Baby Bean doll base, a free pattern on the Sweet Softies blog.
Koi Mermaid
From the designer: An amigurumi mermaid is such an elegant, beautiful character for your plushy collection, but a mermaid inspired by the koi fish makes for a crochet pattern that is as much fun to create as it is to behold. Koi fish are a majestic species of ornamental fish. They are a type of colorful carp from India, but they started being bred for their beauty in Niigata, Japan, and so they have a strong presence in Japanese culture and art. This Koi Mermaid pattern is very straightforward. If you have ever made a top-down doll, she won't give you much trouble. Her tail and elbows both have short rounds to add some bend in them both. Her tail bends in the middle so that she can sit on a shelf or she can sit with her tail bent up and have a little more character than your average flat mermaid. While Grace’s eyes are safety eyes, they have a lot of embroidery detail which is added to the head before they are installed to give it a more human feel.
