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.
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.
The Friendly Mae Doll
Here is a simple, down-to-earth crochet doll without all the unnecessary frills. She is friendly, kind, and caring and will be a fantastic companion to whoever needs her. She is 9" tall and 4.5" wide.
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.
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.
Zebra Trophy Head Crochet Pattern
If you've got little zoologists on your hands, then you need to make a crochet project they'll adore! This zebra trophy head is the perfect wall decor for your animal enthusiasts. Soft, cushy, elegant, and cute, this zebra crochet pattern will look stunning mounted on any wall.
From the Blogger: "This pattern by Vanessa Mooncie originally appeared in the book Animal Heads: Trophy Heads to Crochetand is shared with permission from GMC Publications. The direction of the zebra’s stripes is determined by the shaping of the head, crocheted in rounds and short rows. The mane is made by attaching tassels to the stitches and brushing through the yarn to tangle the fibers and help it stand on end."
