Free doll crochet pattern - Sarah, the amigurumi princess

June 4th, 2025

When I was a child, I had a doll with black hair and a white dress. The smell of her hair is still in my nose, and it brings me back to those times when I was a little girl. It was a long time ago, but I still remember how happy I was when I got that doll, and how much I played with her.

I think, in a way, every child has their own special toy that becomes a precious memory. Maybe with this free doll pattern, you can create a little amigurumi princess for your little one, something she will remember when she grows up.

What you should know before starting this free crochet pattern:
The amigurumi princess is made in one piece—you only need to sew on the crocheted hair and the crown.
