Crochet Tutorial: One-Eyed Minion Bee Garden Overall Doll – Free Crochet Pattern.

This cheerful one-eyed garden overall doll is made with a bright yellow rounded body, a single silver goggle, black glove hands, blue garden overalls, daisy details, tan sandals, a tiny sunflower shoulder bag, a straw-style hat, two little bees, and a small picnic basket.

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

Finished Size

Using worsted weight yarn and a 3.5 mm hook, the main doll measures about 13.5 inches tall from the bottom of the sandals to the top of the rounded head. The hat measures about 5.5 inches across, the basket about 2.75 inches wide, and each bee about 1.25 inches long.

Skill Level

This is an advanced beginner to intermediate amigurumi pattern. The shapes are simple, but the project has many small decorative parts. Work slowly, use stitch markers, and keep your tension firm so the stuffing does not show through the stitches.

Materials

• Yarn: Worsted weight cotton or cotton blend in yellow, royal blue, white, black, tan, light gray, brown, dark brown, sunflower yellow, green, soft pink, and small amounts of red gingham color if making the basket cloth.
• Hook: 3.5 mm crochet hook for the doll and accessories.
• Optional smaller hook: 2.75 mm hook for flowers, bee wings, and tiny details.
• Eyes: One 10 mm black safety eye or embroidered black pupil for the main eye.
• Stuffing: Polyester fiberfill.
• Needle: Yarn needle for sewing pieces together.
• Other tools: Stitch markers, scissors, pins, black embroidery thread, white embroidery thread, and a small amount of cardboard or plastic canvas for the basket base if desired.

Gauge and Construction Notes

Work the amigurumi parts in continuous spirals unless a section says otherwise. Place a stitch marker in the first stitch of every round. The fabric should be tight and smooth, with no large gaps. If your stitches look loose, go down one hook size.

The main body is made as one tall rounded yellow capsule. The blue overalls are crocheted separately and sewn over the lower body so the outfit looks raised and textured like the photo. The eye, goggle ring, black strap, straps, flowers, bag, hat, bees, and basket are all made separately and sewn on at the end.

Main Yellow Body

Use yellow yarn. Stuff firmly as you go, especially through the rounded top and lower body. The shape should be a tall oval cylinder with a gently rounded head and a flatter standing base.

FO, leaving a tail. Thread the tail through the front loops of the last 6 stitches and pull closed. The bottom should be firm enough to support the overalls and legs without collapsing.

White and Yellow Striped Shirt Band

The visible shirt stripes sit behind the overalls around the middle of the body. They should peek out on both sides under the arms and above the blue waistband.

Waistband

2. Rows 2-4: sc 60. Ch 1 and turn after Rows 2 and 3.

Sew the back bib to the back center of the body, lining the lower edge with the waistband. This gives the overalls a finished look from every angle.

Care Notes

Spot clean the doll with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the full piece because the goggle, flowers, basket, and bag have many sewn details. Let the doll air dry completely before storing or displaying.

Quick Checklist Before You Finish

• The body is tall, yellow, and rounded with a smooth top.
• The doll has one large centered eye inside a gray goggle.
• The black strap runs straight around the head.
• The blue overalls include a bib, straps, shorts, flower buttons, and daisy decorations.
• The arms have yellow sleeves and black gloves.
• The feet have tan sandals, toe lines, and white daisies.
• The tan crossbody bag has a sunflower on the flap.
• The sunflower, bees, hat, and basket are included as matching accessories.

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

Keep the doll away from direct sunlight for long periods, especially if using cotton yarn in bright yellow and blue. Sunlight can slowly fade the colors. Store the accessories together in a soft bag so the small bees, basket, and hat do not get lost.

If the doll becomes dusty, use a soft clean brush to lift dust from the stitches. For the gray goggle and eye area, clean gently around the edges without pulling the stitches. Reshape the hat brim and overalls with your fingers after cleaning.

When storing the doll, do not place heavy items on top of it. The rounded body, goggle ring, and hat brim can flatten if pressed for a long time. Keep the piece upright or lying loosely in a breathable cotton bag.

Your one-eyed garden overall doll is now complete, with its bright yellow body, blue overalls, cheerful flower details, tiny bees, straw hat, picnic basket, sandals, and sunflower bag ready for a cute handmade garden display.
