A4 PDF: materials, every round with a tick box, assembly and face

A free crochet doll pattern for a little chibi girl with a big round head, brown hair with straight bangs and two pigtails tied with pink bows. This amigurumi doll wears a mint dress with a scalloped white-edged frill and cherry red shoes, and has shiny eyes with tiny lashes and rosy cheeks. She is worked in the round in single crochet with DK yarn and a 2.5 mm hook and sits about 11 cm (4.25 in) tall; the hair is worked into the head, the pigtails, bows and frill are made separately, and the eyes are 10 mm safety eyes. Follow the row-by-row pattern with stitch counts and turn the interactive 3D model to see where every piece goes.

How to crochet the Little Doll with Pigtails

Intermediate · 11 cm tall · about 3 h · DK yarn · 2.5 mm hook

  1. Crochet the 15 pieces in rounds: Body (dress), Leg ×2, Dress frill, Head, Pigtail ×2, Bow loop ×4, Bow knot ×2, Arm ×2 (79 rounds in all).
  2. Stuff and put it together in 9 steps; each one lights up where it goes on the 3D model.
  3. Add the face: safety eyes by round and stitch, or embroider them for a child under 3.

Every round with its stitch count is in the Pattern tab below, and in the free printable PDF.

RemixCrochet it

Gauge

1 sc ≈ 4 mm wide, 1 round ≈ 3.6 mm tall (10 cm ≈ 25 sc × 28 rounds); yarn about 1.9 mm thick. The gauge sets the size of the toy; crochet tightly so the stuffing does not show.

Worked in

Continuous spiral rounds. Don't join. Move a stitch marker up every round.

  14. Size before assembly: about 5.6 cm at the widest, 5 cm long; 17 rounds.
  15. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff firmly just before sewing it on; a little less near the edge, then add a pinch when the seam is nearly done.

  6. Size before assembly: about 1.6 cm at the widest, 3.5 cm long; 10 rounds.
  7. Change to skin (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R4).
  8. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff firmly just before sewing it on; a little less near the edge, then add a pinch when the seam is nearly done.

  4. Size before assembly: about 6.4 cm at the widest, 0.9 cm long; 3 rounds.
  5. Change to frill (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R2).
  6. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff.

  27. Size before assembly: about 8.2 cm at the widest, 6.2 cm long; 26 rounds. Multi-colour rounds are listed stitch by stitch from the round-start marker; keep the round start on the piece's centre front line (as it sits on the finished toy). The order is for right-handed crocheting (right to left on the outside); left-handed: reverse it.
  28. → Insert the safety eyes now (positions: see “Face”) and fix the backs. Start stuffing (firmly) and keep adding as you decrease.
  29. Top up the stuffing if needed. Fasten off leaving a 15 cm tail; with the needle weave it through the front loops of all 6 stitches of the last round, pull tight and hide the end inside.

  10. Size before assembly: about 2.1 cm at the widest, 3.5 cm long; 11 rounds.
  11. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff lightly just before sewing it on; a little less near the edge, then add a pinch when the seam is nearly done.

  3. A flat oval about 2.7 × 1.5 cm; 2 rounds. Worked around a chain, so it is an oval: sew it on with its long side (along the chain) running front to back. The round-start marker is in the middle of a long side (the piece's centre line), while R1 starts at a turn: after R1 shift the round start — sc 2 more (not counted in any round) and place the marker there. The increases fall on the turns.
  4. With bow: ch 5.
  5. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff.

  3. A flat oval about 1.9 × 1.5 cm; 2 rounds. Worked around a chain, so it is an oval: sew it on with its long side (along the chain) running vertically, top to bottom. The round-start marker is in the middle of a long side (the piece's centre line), while R1 starts at a turn: after R1 shift the round start — sc 1 more (not counted in any round) and place the marker there. The increases fall on the turns.
  4. With bow: ch 3.
  5. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff.

  5. Size before assembly: about 1.2 cm at the widest, 2.8 cm long; 8 rounds.
  6. Change to dress (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R2).
  7. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff lightly just before sewing it on; a little less near the edge, then add a pinch when the seam is nearly done.

Safety eyes and noses go in before the piece is stuffed and closed (see the pieces above); embroidery is easier before the piece is sewn on.

  • Safety eyes with a printed glint 10 mm (on the head): in round 15, 9 st apart (count along round 15: about 4.3 st each side of the centre front line).
  • Embroidery in ink thread (on the head) (2, symmetric: the toy's left side is described, the right is its mirror image), straight stitches through: (between rounds 14 and 15, 5.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left) → (between rounds 13 and 14, 6 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ).
  • Embroidery in ink thread (on the head), straight stitches through: (in round 17, 1 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's right ) → (in round 18, 0.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's right ) → (in round 18, on the centre front line) → (in round 18, 0.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ) → (in round 17, 1 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ).
  • Blush about 10 mm, dry pastel or blush (on the head, both sides): between rounds 16 and 17, 6.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left . Colour pink.
