Materials and tools:
Amigurumi yarn, skin color for the doll, and
any other colors of your choice for the hair, outfits,
shoes and decorations. Use same weight yarn for
each part of the doll.
(Yarnart jeans, Etrofil Jeans, Kartopu Cotton Love, Alize
Cotton Gold, Kartopu Amigurumi = 2,5 mm hook
Schachenmayr Catania, Scheepjes Catona, Yarnart
Luxor = 2 mm/2,5 mm hook

I used:
For skin: Kartopu Cotton Love (100g/330m)
color: K793

(Alternatives for skin: Yarnart Jeans (05),


Alize Cotton Gold or Cotton Gold Hobby (458),
Etrofil Yeans (070) Kartopu Amigurumi (K354)

Yarnart Jeans
(50g/160m, 1,76oz/174 yds)
- light brown - 40
2,5 mm crochet hook (or hook fitting your yarn)

wire (optional)
Wire makes the doll pose-able, stand-able, stronger, but
can be omitted.
I used:
-wire for neck hardener (the wire I used, used for
creating artificial flowers, strong but flexible, covered
with white, 21 cm)
-pipe cleaner for arms
(approx 15 cm x 2)
-pipe cleaner or pvc-coated
elecrical wire, for legs
(21 cm x 2), tights (12 cm x 2)

Notes: If you use wire, always pay close attention to safety.


Bend the ends of the wire, cover with small amount fiber fill,
and cover with pvc tape.
Do not use wire for toys intended for children under 3 years
of age.

together, cover the edges with small amount of fiber fill, and
secure with tape.
