Part 5: Hair

Using brown yarn, create the main hair cap first by crocheting a flat circle up to round 7 (same increases as the head), then work even rounds down to cover the back of the head. For the pigtails, use a separate piece of yarn to gather and loop sections at each side of the head. Use a looping technique or make two curly spirals separately and sew them on.

For the flower hair clips: using pink yarn, make 2 tiny flowers (ch 4, sl st to form ring, then work 5 petals of ch 3, sc, ch 3 sl st each), and sew onto the pigtails.


Part 6: Overalls Bib and Straps

Using sage green yarn, crochet a small rectangle (ch 7, sc for 6 rows) for the front bib. Add two thin chain straps (ch 20 each) and attach them crossing over the back. Sew a tiny flower embellishment at the center of the bib using pink yarn.

  • Rnd 1: MR, 6 sc (6)
  • Rnd 2: inc x6 (12)

  • Rnd 4–8: sc around (18)

Fold flat and sc across to close (9 sc). Attach a long chain strap. Sew a small white flower button to the flap.


Assembly Steps

  1. Sew the head onto the body, aligning the center front seam.
  2. Attach legs to the bottom of the body, evenly spaced.
  3. Sew arms to each side of the upper body just below the neck.
  4. Sew the hair cap onto the head, then attach the pigtails to each side.
  5. Attach the flower hair clips to the pigtail bases.
  6. Position the bag strap over one shoulder and secure with a few stitches.
  7. Weave in all ends carefully.

Beginner Tips

  • Use stitch markers to mark the beginning of every round – it is easy to lose count in amigurumi.
  • Stuff as you go for the body; do not wait until the end as it becomes difficult to get an even result.
  • For tighter, neater stitches, go down half a hook size from what the yarn label recommends.
  • Invisible decreases (pulling through front loops only before pulling through both) give a much smoother finish than standard decreases.
  • When attaching the head, pin it in place and check the alignment from multiple angles before sewing.
  • If the safety eye gaps look too wide or too narrow, reposition before clicking the washers permanently into place.

Variations to Try

  • Winter version: swap the sage green for deep burgundy overalls and replace the cardigan with a chunky cable-textured coat
  • Pastel fairy version: use lavender overalls, add tiny crocheted wings to the back, and swap boots for white ankle strap shoes
  • Autumn doll: rust orange overalls, a mustard-colored sweater, and a tiny crocheted mushroom bag instead of the crossbody purse
  • Personalized hair colors: make her with blonde, black, or red hair by simply swapping out the brown yarn

This crochet girl doll is a project worth taking slowly and enjoying. Every little detail – the pigtails, the tiny flower clips, the wee crossbody bag – adds to her personality and makes her a truly special handmade object.
