As part of my shop's 10 year anniversary this July, I hosted my very first mystery crochet-along on Instagram. Now that the final amigurumi has been revealed, I'm posting the full pattern here on my blog so that it's easier to read. You can also buy a pdf version with lots of detailed photos in my store.

Amigurumi Doll Free Crochet Pattern

This cuddly crochet doll takes just a few hours to make. Start by crocheting the arms. Then make the legs, and continue on to the body. The arms are crocheted into the body as you go, so no sewing is required. Next, crochet the head, hair and dress, and sew everything together, adding an embroidered face. Finally, finish off your doll with some cute little buttons or beads.
