Girl and Boy Amigurumi Dolls

Projects like these make me love the art of crochet so much! You can take one simple pattern and just by changing the color yarn and by adding different embellishments you can transform the whole look! These girl and boy amigurumi dolls are completely customizable and not only could you make a whole family, but you could make them to look like YOUR family! Great gifts and a fun toy for the little ones to play with. The bottoms are weighted with poly-pellets so they sit up straight. Finished dolls are 6 inches tall and 4 inches wide.

Materials:

– Worsted Weight Yarn. I used Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice in Beige, Pink, Dusty Blue, Black, Honey, and Chocolate Brown.

– Size G Crochet Hook

– Poly-Pellets

– Tapestry needle

– 6mm Safety Eyes

Abbreviations:

To make tutu:

Add yarn around first row of shirt colored SC stitches on body. Chain 2 and make a DC around the same stitch. Make 2 DC around each stitch all the way around. Join to top of chain 2 and fasten off, weave in ends.

You will want to put your poly-pellets in a little sack. I cut off the bottom of pair of my daughters tights, filled the foot and knotted the top. Place pellet sack in bottom of body piece and fill the rest will poly-fil stuffing.

To make hair, cut strands of yarn about 12 inches long. Hook yarn with your crochet hook in the middle of the 12 inch strands (one at a time). Pull through. Now grab the ends of the yarn (you should have 6 strands because your yarn is now halved) and pull through the loop. Pull tight. Trim yarn after you have covered the top of head.

Get creative! You can braid the hair, put a yarn bow in it, make pig tails or a pony tail and more!

Can’t wait to see your versions of the dolls!
