Crochet Centaur Doll + Free Video Tutorial

Check out my crochet amigurumi style centaur doll! The written pattern is available in my Ravelry store here: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/realistic-centaur-doll
Buy it now!
You can also find the free video tutorial at the bottom of the page.


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.






You can find the free video tutorial, and other tutorials, on my youtube channel at https://youtube.com/c/faerierings


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

Crochet Horse Doll Pattern + Free Video Tutorial

 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.





You can find the free video tutorial at the bottom of this page, or you could check out my youtube channel at https://www.youtube.com/c/faerierings to see more of my free tutorials!

Crochet Long Stem Rose Bouquet Video Tutorial and Pattern

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.

Crochet Princess Doll Dress Pattern and Video Tutorial

Crochet princess dress with puffed sleeves and overskirt. Pattern includes instructions for my Realistic Body Amigurumi doll, my Basic amigurumi doll, and a Barbie style doll size. This pattern is really easy to customize to any size doll. Find the free video tutorial at the bottom of the page!


This pattern is similar to my Fitted Doll Shirt pattern and my Basic Doll Circle Skirt pattern, but with a few extra steps, plus the addition of the puffed sleeves and the overskirt.

You could make just about any style of princess dress with this technique by changing out the colors of any part of the dress, using different styles of sleeves, or different fullness of skirts. I decided to make a Princess Peach dress for my doll. Let me know what princess dress I should make next!
