Check out my crochet amigurumi style horse doll! The written pattern is available in my Ravelry store here: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/realistic-horse-doll Buy it now!
This is a bit of an intermediate to advanced level design, I'd say. It's easy to customize the size, shape or color of the horse to your preferences.
Amigurumi generally uses very little yarn, and I used much less than a full skein. I used “Aran” from Red Heart Super Saver for the body, “Charcoal” to make the hooves, and a combination of “Charcoal” and “Black” to make the mane and tail.

In which I show you a few techniques to style a yarn wig for your dolls. We'll go over ways to cut the hair, as well as how to go from a light wave to maximum curly goodness! Video tutorial at bottom of page!
Always be careful when using a straightener, or cutting with scissors or razors. Always do so with adult supervision!

Realistic muscular crochet doll pattern. A free video tutorial is available on my Youtube channel athttps://youtube.com/c/faerierings or you can find the video at the bottom of the page.
Specific instructions given for a 14-inch tall doll, but the pattern is easy to customize to any size doll. Pattern is a little advanced. If you’re familiar with making amigurumi dolls, this pattern will be fairly simple. But for a beginner it can be complex.
Use Aran weight yarn. Worsted weight may be used but you may want to use a smaller hook (like a size B) to maintain the proper tension
I used much less than a skein of Red Heart brand yarn in “Cafe Latte” for my doll, but if you’re making a much larger doll or using a smaller skein, you may need more yarn.
Crochet Flower Petal Skirt Pattern is now available in my Ravelry store! Made to fit my Realistic Body Crochet Doll, but easy to customize to any size. Buy it now!
You can find the free video tutorial at the bottom of the page.
You’ll need at least 3 main colors: the main flower color, the trim, and the leaves. You could get away with using the same color for the trim and the petals, but it’ll be tougher to distinguish between each petal if you do. So if you want it all in one color, try using a slightly darker shade for the trim. Another thing to note is the weight of the yarn you’re using. You could use pretty much any yarn, but a thinner yarn will produce a lighter petal that won’t add much bulk to the doll; and a thicker yarn will produce a heavier, bulky petal. Choose your yarn based on the look you want for the skirt.
For my project, I used “Orchid” for my main petal color, “Violet” for the trim, and “Spring Green” for the leaves, all from Red Heart Super Saver. I used a heavier yarn, for a big, bulky ball gown type skirt. But if you want a more loose, flowing skirt, use a lighter yarn.
The same goes for hook size. A larger hook will make a lighter, lacier petal and a smaller hook will make a heavier petal. I used a size E hook.
How to make a mermaid tail for your amigurumi dolls. Find the pattern in my Ravelry store! Buy it now
This style of mermaid has a textured scaly tail, and is way easier to customize than the other mermaid tutorial I made last year. In that video I used puff stitches to make the tail look scaly (which did work, but I wasn't satisfied with how it came out). I'm really happy with how these mermaids came out!
This mermaid doll tail goes with the upper body doll tutorial I posted last week. Find that tutorial here:
