Many girls love their dolls. And the dolls should ideally always be with them. The little crochet dolls I’m introducing below are the ideal size to fit in Mom’s handbag, too. That way they can be taken anywhere. In a boring moment, they’re right there—and the boredom is gone.

The following requirements apply to all the little dolls I’ve linked below:

Materials:

• Yarn in various colors (The thicknesses need to match. Thicker yarn makes larger dolls. I used yarn that I could crochet with a size 3 crochet hook.)
• Stuffing
• Sew-on googly eyes, approx. 8 mm in diameter
  
• for the boys: eyelash yarn
• for the knitting grandma: toothpicks
  

Difficulty level:
easy to intermediate

What the pattern includes:

• Basics of amigurumi crochet
• illustrated pattern

May I present something very special and unique that will make girls’ hearts beat faster 
Bella and Meti.

The dolls are about 36 cm tall when finished, and their clothes can be put on and taken off.

So they’re just right for little doll mommies.

And to go with the little dolls, you’ll also need clothing and bath items as well as diapers!

For example, this cute set of clothing for 35 cm dolls. Crocheted with Bravo yarn, it works up quickly.

Baby shoes are always a lovely welcome gift for babies. Especially now in the cold season, it is particularly important that the baby stays nice and warm.

This pattern is so great because the lower part is knitted, while the edging at the top is crocheted. Leftover yarn is often enough for shoes this small.

What mom wouldn’t be happy about such a nice gift?

little fish purse




A dream for little girls Crochet pattern for a pretty fish-shaped shoulder bagIn this beautifully shaped bag, children can take their belongings with them. There is enough room for pens, tissues, small
toys, money, candy, etc.
If crocheted with the specified yarn weight, the bag is approx. 33 cm
long and 16.5 cm high. I used Carina yarn (70% polyester, 30% acrylic), hook size 3.5–4, yardage 125 m per 50 g. 1 skein in white, one in old rose, and one in purple.
I worked with a 3.5 crochet hook. Thanks to the thicker yarn weight, the little bag is quick to crochet. The pattern is 8 pages long, with lots of pictures, making it suitable for beginners too.

A wonderful gift idea is the “Princess Design” Ballerinas for babies and children!
The shoes look absolutely cute and elegant, are quick to crochet, and keep little feet nice and warm!
The shoes have a high-cut design, so they fit especially well on a child’s foot!
The contrasting-color edging gives the ballerinas a special touch, and you can even sew on a little flower!

For little ones who can already grasp things well, these little 8-armed friends are a real treat. They rattle, and the corkscrew arms can be stretched out and spring right back into shape.

Here’s the pattern for the little octopuses: https://www.crazypatterns.net/de/items/16310/haekelanleitung-tintenfisch-pip-ein-entzueckender-allrounder

Lilly and Nana also make a lovely gift. They also come with lots of colorful outfits and accessories. Under the Christmas tree,
these two might make many girls happy and cheerful, too.
To make the dolls, their outfits, and their accessories,
I used Catania and Merino yarn and two crochet hooks in sizes
2.5 and 3.5.
You can find expansion packs for the sweet dolls in my shop.

A great set that teen girls are sure to love is the knitted Siria poncho with the matching Beria hat.
With these, the young ladies are always up to date!

The poncho is knitted as a large rectangle, then two sides are crocheted together. Finally, fringes are knotted onto the newly created edge.

The hat is named Beria because this means “Protect” in Elvish, and the hat wonderfully protects your head from the cold of winter. The hat is knitted flat, which means you don’t need a set of double-pointed needles. You simply knit in rows until the head circumference is reached.

Here you get 2 knitting patterns for the price of one! ☺

Here’s everything included:

• 14 pages of pattern!
• written-out pattern for poncho and hat
