Pattern Notes

This pattern is written in US English using standard amigurumi abbreviations. The doll is made as a structured decorative figure with a firmly stuffed upper body and a wide supported skirt. The accessories are removable only in part. Most floral trims are sewn in place after assembly.

The look of this doll depends on tight, even stitches, careful shaping, and symmetrical placement of trims. Use a hook smaller than you normally would for the yarn so stuffing does not show through. Keep tension consistent across the face, bodice, skirt, and hat brim.

The sample shown in the image appears to use a fine-to-medium cotton or cotton blend yarn with crisp stitch definition. Mercerized cotton, cotton acrylic blend, or another smooth non-fuzzy yarn works best if you want the flowers, gold outlines, and facial shaping to match the picture closely.

Skill Level

Advanced beginner to intermediate. The stitches are not difficult individually, but the project includes many shaped pieces, embroidery, layered trims, sewn flowers, structured accessories, and careful finishing.

Finished Size

Using sport or light DK yarn and a 2.25 mm to 2.75 mm hook, the doll measures about 14 to 16 inches tall from the base of the skirt to the top of the hat. The skirt is wide and display-oriented. The wings extend slightly beyond shoulder width.

Construction Overview

The doll is worked in separate components: base support, skirt, torso, head, arms, hair, sleeves, overskirt panels, hat, wings, flowers, bag, shoes, teapot, cup, basket, yarn balls, and gnome. The torso is attached to the skirt structure. The head is attached last after hair cap placement and facial embroidery planning.

To match the image, the skirt must be very full and round. The bodice should sit neatly at the top center of the skirt. The sleeves are puffed and end in delicate ruffles. The fairy wings are lightly padded but not bulky. The hat should sit low and broad with a gently curved brim.

Gauge

Gauge is not critical for a decorative doll, but stitch tightness is critical for appearance. For the sample style, 8 sc by 8 rounds in a small amigurumi circle should measure roughly 2 inches across when lightly flattened.

Base Support and Inner Skirt Core

This hidden base gives the doll the wide seated bell shape shown in the image. Work in royal blue.

1. R1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. R2: inc x6. (12)
3. R3: (sc, inc) x6. (18)
4. R4: (2 sc, inc) x6. (24)
5. R5: (3 sc, inc) x6. (30)
6. R6: (4 sc, inc) x6. (36)
7. R7: (5 sc, inc) x6. (42)
8. R8: (6 sc, inc) x6. (48)
9. R9: (7 sc, inc) x6. (54)
10. R10: (8 sc, inc) x6. (60)
11. R11: (9 sc, inc) x6. (66)
12. R12: (10 sc, inc) x6. (72)
13. R13: (11 sc, inc) x6. (78)
14. R14: (12 sc, inc) x6. (84)
15. R15: (13 sc, inc) x6. (90)
16. R16: (14 sc, inc) x6. (96)
17. R17: (15 sc, inc) x6. (102)
18. R18: (16 sc, inc) x6. (108)

If you want an even wider skirt, continue to 114 or 120 sts. Fasten off. Cut a matching cardboard or plastic canvas circle slightly smaller than the base. Set aside. This circle will be inserted later and enclosed inside the lower skirt.

Main Skirt

The skirt is deep, wide, and heavily embellished. Work from top to bottom in royal blue.

1. R1: MR, 8 sc. (8)
2. R2: inc x8. (16)
3. R3: (sc, inc) x8. (24)
4. R4: (2 sc, inc) x8. (32)
5. R5: (3 sc, inc) x8. (40)
6. R6: (4 sc, inc) x8. (48)
7. R7: (5 sc, inc) x8. (56)
8. R8: (6 sc, inc) x8. (64)
9. R9: (7 sc, inc) x8. (72)
10. R10: BLO sc around. (72)
11. R11: (8 sc, inc) x8. (80)
12. R12: sc around. (80)
13. R13: (9 sc, inc) x8. (88)
14. R14: sc around. (88)
15. R15: (10 sc, inc) x8. (96)
16. R16: sc around. (96)
17. R17: (11 sc, inc) x8. (104)
18. R18: sc around. (104)
19. R19: (12 sc, inc) x8. (112)
20. R20: sc around. (112)
21. R21: (13 sc, inc) x8. (120)
22. R22-R30: sc around. (120)
23. R31: BLO sc around. (120)
24. R32-R36: sc around. (120)
25. R37: (14 sc, inc) x8. (128)
26. R38-R42: sc around. (128)
27. R43: (15 sc, inc) x8. (136)
28. R44-R49: sc around. (136)
29. R50: (16 sc, inc) x8. (144)
30. R51-R56: sc around. (144)

Check width against your support disk. If needed, add 1 or 2 plain rounds. Insert the support disk and a very light ring of stuffing above it so the skirt curves naturally rather than collapsing flat.

To close the inner skirt bottom, hold the support base piece to the open lower edge and join with sc or whip stitch evenly around. Do not overstuff the skirt body. The lower part should be structured, not puffy.

Lower Skirt Ruffle

Join royal blue in the FLO left from Round 31.

1. Round A: (sc, hdc, 3 dc, hdc, sc) in first 5 FLO span, sl st in next st, rep around to create a gathered under-ruffle.

For a fuller look like the photo, work another ruffle row beneath it by joining a few rounds lower on the inside and repeating soft shells. This hidden fullness helps the scalloped overskirt sit outward.

Lower Gold Edge

Join gold at the skirt hem. Work: (sc in 2 sts, 3 sc in next st) around or a simple tight sl st edging. The image shows a neat thin gold line, so keep this narrow and crisp.

Torso

Work in beige first, then blue for the bodice. Stuff firmly as you go.

1. R1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. R2: inc x6. (12)
3. R3: (sc, inc) x6. (18)
4. R4: (2 sc, inc) x6. (24)

Stuff firmly. Leave a long tail for sewing the torso to the top center of the skirt. The lower torso should sit vertically, not leaning back. Sew securely through the upper center rounds of the skirt.

Bodice Front Overlay

Work in blue, then edge with gold. Ch 9.

1. Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook and across. (8)
2. Row 2-4: ch 1, turn, sc across. (8)

Fasten off. Edge the two sides and bottom in gold sl st. Sew onto the torso front. Add a vertical gold chain line down the center and tiny pink and cream roses across the neckline area to match the image.

Head

Work in beige. Stuff firmly and shape while filling so the cheeks remain smooth and round.

1. R1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. R2: inc x6. (12)
3. R3: (sc, inc) x6. (18)
4. R4: (2 sc, inc) x6. (24)

Stuff firmly. Continue only after inserting neck support if desired.

1. R24: (sc, dec) x6. (12)

Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing to the neck.

Indented Eye Placement Guide

Place the eyes between R12 and R13, about 9 stitches apart. The image shows embroidered oval eyes with long lashes rather than safety eyes. Keep the eyes small and slightly low on the face for a soft, dreamy look.

Arms

Make 2 in beige and blue.

1. R1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. R2: (sc, inc) x3. (9)
3. R3-R5: sc around. (9)
4. R6: change to blue, sc around. (9)
5. R7-R12: sc around. (9)
6. R13: flatten opening and sc through both sides for 4 stitches.

Stuff only the hand and lower arm lightly. Leave upper arm softer for easier attachment. Sew arms to torso sides just below the shoulder line.

Puffed Sleeves

Make 2 in blue. Start at the upper arm opening area and create a sleeve cap that sits high and rounded.

1. R1: 12 sc in MR or around the arm opening. (12)
2. R2: (sc, inc) x6. (18)
3. R3-R4: sc around. (18)
4. R5: BLO sc around. (18)
5. R6: (sc, dec) x6. (12)

Join gold to FLO of Round 5 and work: (sc, hdc, sc) in each 2-st span or a neat ruffle around. The photo shows a small gathered cuff-like trim near the lower part of the puff, so keep it delicate.

Neck

If you want extra stability, insert a short rolled fabric strip, plastic stick, or tightly wrapped pipe cleaner into the torso top and head base before sewing closed. The head in the image sits upright and centered with only a slight forward tilt.

Hair Cap

Work in dark gray.

1. R1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. R2: inc x6. (12)
3. R3: (sc, inc) x6. (18)
4. R4: (2 sc, inc) x6. (24)
5. R5: (3 sc, inc) x6. (30)
6. R6: (4 sc, inc) x6. (36)
7. R7: (5 sc, inc) x6. (42)
8. R8: (6 sc, inc) x6. (48)
9. R9-R12: sc around. (48)

Fasten off. Sew to the back and upper sides of the head, leaving the face open. The hairline should come low enough on the forehead to frame the bangs.

Front Bang Strands

Cut or crochet separate narrow strips in dark gray.

• Make 3 center bangs: ch 8, sc in 2nd ch and back. Fasten off.
• Make 2 side face-framing strands: ch 18, sc back, then lightly curl by working sl st loosely along one side.
• Make 4 longer curls for the sides: ch 22, 2 sc in each ch back for spiral curls.
• Make 2 back curls: ch 26, 2 sc in each ch back.

Sew the center bangs vertically at the forehead. Sew side curls near the temples and lower side hairline. The image shows smooth straight bangs in front and soft wavy tendrils falling along both cheeks.

Hat Crown

Work in royal blue.

1. R1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. R2: inc x6. (12)
3. R3: (sc, inc) x6. (18)
4. R4: (2 sc, inc) x6. (24)
5. R5: (3 sc, inc) x6. (30)
6. R6: (4 sc, inc) x6. (36)
7. R7: (5 sc, inc) x6. (42)
8. R8-R13: sc around. (42)

Try on the head. The crown should sit low but not tight. Add 1 more plain round if needed.

Hat Brim

1. R14: BLO (6 sc, inc) x6. (48)
2. R15: sc around. (48)
3. R16: (7 sc, inc) x6. (54)
4. R17: sc around. (54)
5. R18: (8 sc, inc) x6. (60)
6. R19: sc around. (60)
7. R20: (9 sc, inc) x6. (66)
8. R21: sc around. (66)
9. R22: (10 sc, inc) x6. (72)
10. R23: sc around. (72)

Fasten off. Edge the outer brim in gold sl st. To help the brim hold its graceful curve, either crochet tightly, steam lightly, or insert a fine millinery wire around the final edge. The brim in the image dips gently and frames the face broadly.

Hat Flowers and Leaves

Make 2 pink roses, 1 cream rose, and 3 small green leaves.

Small Rose

In pink or cream, ch 21.

1. Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook, hdc in next 2, dc in next 12, hdc in next 3, sc in last. Turn strip into a spiral rose and stitch base securely.

Leaf

In green, ch 6.

1. Work along chain: sl st, sc, hdc, sc, sl st in last; rotate to opposite side and repeat symmetrically.

Sew flowers on the right side of the brim with leaves tucked beneath, matching the floral cluster shown in the image.

Wings

Make 2 mirrored wings in cream or white with gold outlines. Each wing is a layered teardrop shape with embroidered inner veins.

Wing Base, Make 2

1. Ch 11.
2. Round 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc 3, hdc 2, dc 2, 5 dc in last ch; working on opposite side, dc 2, hdc 2, sc 3, 2 sc in last. Join.
3. Round 2: ch 1, sc 4, hdc 2, dc 4, 2 dc in each of next 3 sts, dc 4, hdc 2, sc 4, 2 sc in each of last 2 sts. Join.

Fasten off, leaving a tail. Make a second slightly smaller inner wing piece if you want more dimension, then sew atop the first. Outline each wing in gold sl st.

Wing Veins

Using gold yarn, embroider long curved lines from the wing base outward. Add small looped oval shapes near the lower center of each wing. Keep lines delicate. The photo shows airy decorative wing tracery, not dense fill.

Lightly stuff or place a thin insert of felt or plastic canvas inside if needed. Sew wings to the back, angled slightly upward and outward from the shoulder blades.

Overskirt Panels

The image shows layered front panels draped over the skirt with gold edging and floral applique. Make 2 identical shaped panels in royal blue.

Ch 26.

1. Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook and across. (25)
2. Row 2-4: ch 1, turn, sc across. (25)

6. Row 8: sc across. (21)
7. Row 9: dec, sc 17, dec. (19)
8. Row 10: sc across. (19)

Fasten off. Edge the curved lower and outer sides in gold. Along the bottom edge work light scallops: (sc, hdc, dc, hdc, sc) across evenly. Sew each panel onto the front skirt, one slightly overlapping the other, leaving the center open enough to show the main skirt beneath.

Upper Side Floral Motifs

Make several small roses in pink and cream with green leaves and sew them onto the overskirt panels and around the lower skirt. The image shows floral placements at the bodice, hat, side skirt, bag, shoes, and panels. Distribute these carefully rather than randomly.

Tea Party Apron-Style Front Curve

To mimic the elegant shaped drape on the dress front, add a narrow gold chain or embroidered line from waist to hem between panels. This creates the visual split line visible in the center front of the image.

Mini Tea Cup

Work in beige with blue rim.

1. R1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. R2: inc x6. (12)
3. R3: BLO sc around. (12)

Shoes

Make 2 in royal blue with cream rose tops.

Basket

In tan or beige.

1. R1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. R2: inc x6. (12)
3. R3: (sc, inc) x6. (18)
4. R4: BLO sc around. (18)

1. R1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. R2: (sc, inc) x3. (9)
3. R3: sc around. (9)
4. R4: (sc, dec) x3. (6)

Stuff with tiny scraps and close. Place inside basket.

Mini Gnome

The image includes a small red-hatted garden gnome near the front hem. This detail adds storybook charm and should be included for the full scene.

Body

In green.

1. R1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. R2: (sc, inc) x3. (9)
3. R3-R5: sc around. (9)

Beard

In white, ch 7.

2. R2: inc x4. (8)
3. R3: (sc, inc) x4. (12)
4. R4-R6: sc around. (12)

Shape into a cone. Add tiny brown feet with 4 sc in MR for each or embroider them. Assemble and place at the doll base.

Roses and Leaf Appliques

You will need many small flowers. The image includes clusters at the neckline, brim, overskirt, lower skirt, bag, teapot, and shoes. Make at least:

• 6 pink roses
• 5 cream roses
• 14 to 18 green leaves
• Optional tiny blue flower knots for accent balance

Keep the roses modest in size. Large roses will overwhelm the refined look. Sew them in balanced clusters, usually one main bloom paired with one smaller bloom and 2 leaves.

Gold Surface Trims

This design depends heavily on the thin gold accents. Add them carefully using one of these methods:

• Surface slip stitch
• Backstitch embroidery
• Fine chained yarn couching

Use gold trim at these locations:

• Hat brim edge
• Sleeve trim
• Bodice neckline and center front
• Overskirt panel edges
• Main lower hem scallop edge
• Wing outline and inner veins

Face Embroidery

Use black embroidery floss. The eyes are small, shiny-looking embroidered ovals with long lashes. The mouth is either omitted or embroidered in a very faint short line. The cheeks are softly blushed.

• Embroider one small curved eye on each side
• Add 3 to 4 upward lashes per eye
• Place the eyes evenly and slightly wide-set
• Add light eyebrow shading only if desired
• Blend blush in circular areas below the eyes

The doll in the photo has a calm, gentle expression. Avoid large cartoon eyes. Smaller features will keep the collectible fairy look.

Attaching the Doll to the Skirt Correctly

Before sewing permanently, pin the torso to the exact center top of the skirt. Check that the skirt front panels face forward, the wings sit behind the shoulders, and the tea set arms angle naturally. The torso should not sink into the skirt too deeply.

Use strong whip stitches around the torso base. Add a few hidden anchoring stitches through the support area inside the upper skirt so the doll remains upright when displayed.

Detailed Color Placement Guide

• Royal blue: hat, crown, brim, dress, skirt, overskirt panels, shoes, bag
• Beige: skin, teacup base, teapot body accents
• Dark gray: hair cap, bangs, curls
• Gold: outlines, edging, wing embroidery, bodice trim
• Pink and cream: roses and decorative floral clusters
• Green: leaves, gnome coat details
• White or cream: wings and some flowers

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

Sew the torso to the structured skirt first, then attach the head firmly to the neck. Add the hair cap, bangs, and curls before placing the hat. Attach the wings symmetrically with a slight upward angle. Sew the overskirt panels neatly so the center front remains balanced.

Embroider the eyes carefully before blushing the cheeks. Add the teapot to the left arm, the teacup to the right hand, and drape the floral bag diagonally across the lower right side of the skirt. Place the shoes, basket, and gnome around the base as display accessories.

Care Notes

• Display indoors away from direct sunlight
• Do not machine wash
• Handle wings and hat brim gently
• Lift the doll from the skirt base, not from the hat or arms
• Keep small accessories attached or stored safely

Quick Checklist Before You Finish

• Head centered and secure
• Eyes even and lashes symmetrical
• Hat sits low and balanced
• Wings match in angle and height
• Gold trim lines are neat
• Flowers distributed evenly
• Bag, shoes, teacup, and teapot all completed
• Skirt base stands flat and stable

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

Dust gently with a soft dry brush or cool hair dryer on low airflow. For small spots, use a barely damp cloth and dab rather than rub. Do not soak the doll, since the structured skirt base and internal supports may warp.

Store in a breathable box or behind glass if possible. Add acid-free tissue around the hat brim and wings if packing for long-term storage. Avoid humid spaces, heavy pressure on the flowers, and prolonged exposure to heat, which can soften shaping and distort trims.
