This Little Lady Doll by Amigurumi Today measures 7″ (18 cm) which is an ideal size for small hands to play with. A pattern is designed with all details and, as you can see from the photos, it is easy to personalize it to make a bunch of little lady dolls.
What Techniques Are Used in This Doll?
If you feel comfortable with shaping and sewing different parts together, the Little Lady Doll pattern is a project for you. It’s made with standard amigurumi techniques and basic stitches like single crochet and working in continuous rounds. Fine details, like the face embroidery or changing dress colors, might need a bit of skill but you can pick these up with some practice.
Required Yarn and Hook Sizes
To make your crochet dolls you’ll need sport or DK weight yarn such as YarnArt Jeans. An acrylic cotton blend yarn works great because it’s tough enough to handle play and keeps its shape.
For this pattern, use a 2.5 mm crochet hook to make sure your stitches are tight enough and don’t show the stuffing. To put the doll together, you’ll also need a tapestry needle, polyester fiberfill stuffing, and safety eyes.
What Are Some Fun Outfit Variations for the Doll?
One of the best things about the Little Lady Doll is how you can easily change her clothes. Swap her outfits, pop on a removable hat, or even make tiny crochet accessories like a little scarf or purse. You can use this pattern as a base to make role-play dolls – e.g., a ballerina doll, a doctor doll, or a rock star doll. The possibilities are endless!
