Crochet Princess Doll Amigurumi
Materials Needed:
- Four ply yarn (divided into two for flowers)
- 3.25mm crochet hook for flowers, different hook sizes for other parts as specified
- Safety eyes
- Polyfill stuffing
- Tapestry needle
- Scissors
- Blush for facial details
- Light brown, black, and other colored yarns for details and accessories
- Hot glue gun (optional for attaching hair and decorations)
Doll Body:
- Arms: Follow the pattern for the arms, including color changing for the sleeves. Incorporate a clean color change technique, and finish the sleeve with rounds in purple. Close the arm by pinching and sewing together, leaving a long tail for attachment to the body.
- Legs and Body: Create legs as per the pattern, attach them together, and continue crocheting the body. Use a slip stitch technique for a seamless join. Incorporate increases and decreases as specified to shape the body and head. Remember to place safety eyes between specific rounds for facial alignment.
Head:
- Continue crocheting the head directly from the body without cutting off the yarn. Work through rounds to shape the head, increase for the head dimension, and then decrease nearing the closure. Add polyfill before completely sealing the head.
Face Details: Stitch the face details, including the nose (with yarn color of choice), eyes, and eyebrows (using light brown and black yarn).
Hair:
- Create a wig cap using the specified hook size and follow the pattern to fit the head. Ensure it covers enough area from the forehead to allow for hair attachment.
Hair Strands: Crochet strands as specified in the video, attaching them to the wig cap to simulate hair. Use hot glue cautiously if preferred to ensure the hair remains securely attached.
Skirt:
- Work on the skirt following the instructions for creating a clean finish and attaching it to the doll's body. Pay attention to detail about starting stitches and increases to fit the doll accurately.
Flowers:
- Despite losing footage for flower creation, refer to the mermaid pattern video for guidance. Use two strands of a four-ply yarn divided and a smaller hook to create flowers for the princess's dress and hair.
Assembly: Finish by attaching the arms, sewing or gluing the hair securely onto the head, and embellishing the doll with the crafted flowers.
Final Touches:
- Use a tapestry needle to weave in all ends for a clean finish.
- Apply blush to give your flower princess a lively appearance.
- Decorations: Optionally, attach pom-poms and additional decorations as desired.
