Happy Friday my lovely readers!
Today I want to show you the newest addition to my amigurumi family: a cute little dolly!
This doll is quite special though as it represents one of my good friends. She asked me for that doll as well as another one of her girlfriend (who is also one of my close friends). The goal is to finish them by next week and send them to their new owners in France.
I was very excited by that project as I think they will make very special gifts. I absolutely love how Candice turned out too! The pattern is from the very talented MaryJ Handmade/Le Arti Di Minerva on Ravelry. Itโs a free pattern and there are no instruction for the assembly but if you are familiar with amigurumi itโs not too bad! I actually sew the head close and then added the body (worked continuously from the legs) and I didnโt stuff the arms.
For the hair, I used a hair cap, following the same pattern as for the head but with a hook size above (from a 3.5 to a 4) and stopping after row 14.
I also had to make up the clothes as I went and I wrote the pattern for the shorts. I thought I would share it here with you guys if you want to make your own doll ๐
