or you can also find it at the bottom of this page.
You can use pretty much any yarn, or hook size, to make this project.
Just bear in mind that using a larger hook or yarn size will make a larger applique, and using a smaller yarn or hook size will make a smaller applique.
Using a thicker yarn, like worsted weight yarn, will create a shape that’s more dense;
but using a thinner yarn, like a lace weight yarn, will result in a more lacy shape.
So use whatever size you think works best for your project. This applique uses very little yarn, so it’s a perfect use for scraps.
Mario inspired mini mushroom charms! These are super cute and quick to make, and its a great use for scrap yarn. Instructions for both styles (the one with spots and the one with the skull) given in pattern!
I’ve also made a video tutorial that you can find at the bottom of the page, or on youtube here: https://youtu.be/s6E-c7ByPF0
I used Red Heart worsted weight yarns in Red, Aran and White to make the red mushroom, and switched out the red for Amethyst to make the purple one, and Spring Green for the green one.
To create these charms, you’ll actually need to use crochet thread weight yarn instead. I kind of prefer to use the worsted weight yarn, though, because of the color variety. I split the Red Heart yarn in half to make crochet thread weight yarn out of worsted weight yarn. You can see how I did this in the video tutorial, but if you want to make your life easier you can skip this step and just use crochet thread, or you could also use embroidery floss.
I also used some black thread to embroider on the eyes, and a metal clasp to turn my mushrooms into charms. You could also use an earring hook, or a jump ring, or a keychain for these charms.
Here's the free video tutorial on my youtube channel:
This is a bit of an intermediate to advanced level design. It's fully customizable, and you can find a bunch of hair tutorials for dolls on my channel, to customize your centaur doll even more.
For the doll above, I used “Buff” (Red Heart Super Saver) for the doll upper body, “Aran” (Red Heart Super Saver) for the horse body, “Charcoal” (Red Heart Super Saver) to make the hooves, and a combination of “Charcoal” and “Black” (Red Heart Super Saver) to make the tail and hair. For the doll below, I used “Heather”(Loops & Threads) for the body, “Rust” (Vanna’s Choice) and “White” (Red Heart Super Saver) for the horse body, “Black” (Red Heart Super Saver) for the hooves and a combination of “Rust”, and “Toast” (Red Heart Soft) for the tail and hair. You can use any color to customize your doll.

To make the doll upper body of the centaur, I used the technique in my realistic amigurumi doll tutorial, which you can see here:
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.

The new tutorial is finally here! In which I show you how to crochet a rose with a long stem, just in time for Valentine's Day! In Part 1, I show you how to complete the petals. And in Part 2 I show you how to make the leaves and stem. If you want to purchase the written pattern, you can find it in my Ravelry store here.Buy it now! Find the free video tutorial at the bottom of the page.
You can use pretty much any yarn for this project, but bear in mind that the rose will be bigger using a thicker yarn, and smaller using a thinner yarn. I used “Cherry Red” and “Hunter Green from Red Heart Super Saver for the flower I made in the video tutorial, but you can use any color yarn you choose.
I also used a size E hook but again, using a larger hook will result in a larger, lacier flower, while a smaller hook will create a smaller flower.
I made my roses about 24 inches long (4 inch long petals, 20 inch long stem), but if you prefer a shorter bouquet you can make the stems shorter.

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.
Spotted crochet Easter eggs inspired by Yoshi eggs. Find the pattern in my Ravelry store! Buy it now!Find the free video tutorial at the bottom of the page.
I made my eggs using Jumbo Easter eggs, to fit my Baby Yoshi amigurumi doll pattern. But this egg is easy to customize to a larger or smaller size. I used color changes to make the spots on the egg.
I used Red Heart Super Saver for all my eggs. The colors I used were white, for the background color of all the eggs, and for the foreground colors I used: spring green, red, bubblegum pink, and royal blue, but you can use any color you want.
After making both halves of the egg I sewed both halves together on one side (the plastic egg halves were already broken when I got them -__- but it still worked! I just stitched both halves together with 2 stitches at the back, and hot glued them to both halves of a jumbo plastic Easter egg.

Sweater with optional hood or collar and sleeves. Buy it now!
Made to fit my basic amigurumi doll pattern, or my realistic body amigurumi doll pattern, but easy to customize to any size doll. Worked in rows.
I used worsted weight yarn and a size E hook to make my project, but if you want to make a lighter sweater, you could use a thinner yarn. You might need to use a larger hook, or add more rows, to make up for the size difference. I used a size G hook.
I used scrap yarn for my project, since the doll I was making the sweater for was so small. If you’re making your coat for a much larger doll, you may need more yarn.
The yarns I used for the dolls pictured, from left to right: Caron Simply Soft “Spring Brook”; Red Heart Soft “Toast” and Caron Simply Soft “Chocolate” with Lion Homespun “Hepplewhite” collar; Loops & Threads Woolike “Rose”; Caron Simply Soft “Rose”

The first few rows are worked in rows, then the rest is worked in the round, if making for a doll with large hips, to make it easier to get the pants on the doll.
For best results, use light weight yarn. This is so that less bulk is added to the doll.
I used scrap yarn for my project, since the dolls I was making the pants for are so small. If you’re making your pants for a much larger doll, you may need more yarn.

Basic fitted style doll shirt with optional bust and sleeves. Made to fit my basic amigurumi doll pattern, or my realistic body amigurumi doll pattern, but easy to customize to any size doll.
Worked either in rows or in the round. If making for a doll with a large head, you might want to work in rows and sew the shirt onto the doll afterward, to make it easier to get the shirt on the doll.
For best results, use light weight yarn. This is so that less bulk is added to the doll.
I used scrap yarn for my project, since the doll I was making the shirt for was so small. If you’re making your shirt for a much larger doll, you may need more yarn.
Basic
amigurumi style crochet doll. This is an updated version of my
old video. I just wrote a pattern for this doll, so I thought this
would be the perfect time to update the video with a new version.
Realistic amigurumi skeleton 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 in white for the bulk of the doll, and a little bit of black Aran weight yarn for some of the detail. Worsted weight may be used but you may want to use a smaller hook (like a size B) to maintain the proper tension, and the doll might come out smaller. I used about a fourth of a small skein of white Red Heart yarn for my doll. And I used scrap black yarn for the black parts.
If you want you could also use crochet thread or embroidery floss to sew on more detail.

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:
