Crochet An Easy Amigurumi Doll Pattern

Crochet this simple and easy amigurumi doll with an adorable pink dress that makes as a meaningful gift for our little ones!

Growing up, I used to love playing with dolls, and having a pretend tea party where all my friends (the dolls) get together and drink tea. These were great times!

As I got older and learned how to crochet, I realized I could create my own amigurumi dolls and design them any way I liked. This really excited me, especially as we started diving into amigurumi here at Amelia Makes.

That’s why we decided to design and crochet this adorable and easy amigurumi doll that is inspired by Barbie!

I wanted to make this pattern easy and beginner-friendly, especially if you’re new to amigurumis. So, if you’re just starting out with amigurumis, this is a great first pattern to practice with, and it makes as a perfect gift for a little girl!

Tips on How to Crochet Amigurumis

Amigurumis have become a trend over the last few years. They are so much fun and fulfilling to crochet, because you’re mainly crocheting it for our little loved ones!

Learn the Basic Stitches

If you’re going to start crocheting amigurumis, I recommend not being an absolute beginner at crocheting in general. It’s important that you already know and practiced the basic stitches.

Learn the Magic Circle

It’s also important for you to know and practice the magic circle and learn how to work in rounds, as that’s what amigurumis are all about.

Learn How to Sew

With most amigurumis, not all of them, you’ll need to learn how to sew the pieces together. With this amigurumi doll pattern below, you’ll see that we separately crochet the head, body, arms, and legs. At the end, we sew all the pieces together for the final result!
