Please note: I strive for accuracy in every pattern, but occasional errors can happen. Thank you for understanding and for enjoying my designs.

Pattern Overview

This pattern is written in US English and uses standard amigurumi construction with separate pieces joined carefully to create the same silhouette shown in the image. The doll has a slightly oversized head, a slim torso, short legs hidden under a full layered skirt, delicate arms, a large decorative hat, textured wings, and small accessories.

The shaping is very important in this design. The body should stay narrow and centered, while the skirt must flare smoothly and evenly. The hat needs a gentle downward brim, and the wings should sit slightly behind the shoulders at an outward angle. Take your time with stuffing, stitch counts, and assembly.

Skill Level

Intermediate

A patient beginner can also complete this pattern if they are already comfortable with basic stitches, invisible decrease, joining rounds, sewing small parts, and reading detailed shaping instructions.

Finished Size

The finished doll is approximately 11.5 to 13 inches tall, depending on yarn, hook size, and tension.

The accessories shown in the image include:

• a small side handbag
• a miniature teacup and saucer

• dress flower appliqués
• a lace-trimmed hat

General Notes

• The doll in the image has a neat, refined texture, so even tension matters a lot.
• The skirt, collar, cuffs, wings, and hat edging should look soft and decorative, not stiff.

Dress Placement and Proportion Notes

The image shows a balanced doll where the skirt is the dominant feature, the head is large but not exaggerated, and the feet are tiny and centered beneath the hem. For the closest visual match, keep these proportion points in mind while assembling.

• The head should be about one third of the visible doll height.
• The bodice should remain slim and upright.
• The skirt should flare widely from the waist and grow wider again at the bottom tier.
• The sleeves should be narrow so the cuffs appear delicate.
• The hat brim should be wider than the shoulders.
• The wings should rise behind the shoulders and extend outward beyond the upper arms.

Assembly

1. Sew the hair cap to the head.
2. Add all hair strands and trim evenly.
3. Embroider facial details before attaching the hat.
4. Sew arms to the upper sides of the torso, slightly below the collar line.
5. Sew collar around neckline.
6. Sew joined legs securely inside the dress opening.
7. Sew wings to the upper back, angled slightly outward.
8. Sew hat to the head with a slight tilt.
9. Sew handbag to one hand or tack it against the side of the skirt.
10. Place teacup, saucer, and basket as display accessories.

Face Embroidery Placement

The face in the image is simple, sweet, and minimal. Keep it refined and do not overwork the features.

• Eyes: small black embroidered oval or straight almond dots placed low on the face
• Lashes: 2 to 3 short outward stitches on each eye
• Nose: optional tiny horizontal stitch in skin tone or omitted
• Mouth: not visible in the image, so keep it absent or make one extremely tiny neutral stitch
• Blush: soft pink under each eye

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

Check the symmetry of the hair, hat, collar, wings, and arm position before making final knots. The best result comes from placing the eyes slightly lower than center, with wide spacing and tiny stitched lashes. Keep the cheeks soft and light so the doll stays delicate and elegant.

Care Notes

Display the doll indoors and away from strong moisture. Because the hat, flowers, wings, and accessories are decorative, this piece is best suited as a collectible doll rather than rough play. Handle the wings, hat brim, and handbag gently when moving the doll.

Quick Checklist Before You Finish

• Is the neck firmly stuffed and stable?
• Are both wings even and mirrored?
• Does the hat sit low enough without hiding the face?
• Are the skirt ruffles layered clearly?
• Do the hair strands frame the face softly?
• Are the eyes, lashes, and blush balanced?
• Are all accessories finished and neatly attached or displayed?

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

Spot clean gently with a barely damp cloth and mild soap if needed. Do not machine wash. Reshape the hat brim, wings, and skirt by hand while drying. Store away from direct sunlight to protect the sage green color and keep the white trim bright. For long-term display, place the doll upright in a dust-free cabinet or shelf.
