In a world where digital entertainment and high-tech gadgets dominate children’s playtime, it’s refreshing to take a step back and explore the simplicity and beauty of traditional crafts. One such delightful craft is the crochet paperweight doll – a charming combination of two beloved wonderful outcome, practicality and decoration. This crochet doll will capture the hearts of both young and old.

Creating a crochet paperweight doll requires neat crochet stitching as you will fill the inside with rice. I also line the inside with fillings. This doll got decorated with beautiful craft flowers.

My other crochet doll patterns

This crochet poodle is a freestyle crochet project. No pattern, no plan. I didn’t write down the pattern either, I wanted the freeflow crochet experience. I used a foam egg as crochet body for this amigurumi poodle. I hope you like it.

I made the crochet hair using a barbie doll and the tutorial found here: https://crochetartdesign.com/how-to-make-doll-hair-the-easiest-way/

Once you have made the hair, you can pull it off the doll’s head. The glue makes it a perfect wig for your amigurumi projects.

More Amigurumi Projects

This is a beautiful Swan made up of Bullion stitches. If you make 2, you can wear them as earrings.

In this pattern, the Bullion stitches are made this way: Wrap yarn 8 times around the hook, insert hook in stitch, yarn over, pull yarn through stitch, yarn over and pull through all loops on hook, ch 1.

In this pattern I use US stitch abbreviations.

I used hook size 2.5 mm for this project and 4 ply yarn.

Crochet Swan Pattern

Step 1. Chain 3, turn, 10 bullion stitches in 3rd ch from hook, sl st in 1st bullion stitch to create a circle.

Step 2. Chain 10, turn, 1 dc in 3rd chain from hook, in same ch as last st crochet: 1 tr + 1 dtr + 1 ttr, turn. Crochet back to tip of turning chain using slip stitches.

Step 3. Make beak: chain 3 picot. Slip stitch back the neck of swan, end with 1 sl st in bullion st. Fasten off and weave in ends.

Make tail.

Make a slip knot, crochet 1 bullion stitch over the cord. Fasten off and attach to swan. Weave in the ends.

I had a great idea to Crochet an Emu wearing High Heel Stilettos. Yeah, it didn’t happen. Instead, I crochet a pair of mini Stilettos and one Big Crochet Emu….:D HAHA…. At least, I got two cool projects out of this Idea. I am very happy about the Emu. It looks very decorative on top of my bookshelf. I have crochet decorations throughout my house. Handmade is best and it gives your home a very homey look.

Free Giraffe Amigurumi Pattern

For some reason, I had this image in my head of a Giraffe wearing a tutu dress and pink booties! This meant of course that I had to make it into a reality. This pattern has been an ongoing project since Christmas and it is now July. For some reason, it took forever to finish. It is the biggest Amigurumi piece I have ever made. I think I will stick to smaller patterns for a while. I did love making it though, and I could finally use up the doll hair I had laying around. The curly doll hair is the icing of this cute giraffe. I also love the fake eyelashes. The head will need to be leaning on something to stay up as the long neck can’t stay upright on its own. The Giraffe is great as a decoration for your home, so give it a go. 

If you like this pattern, please share on Pinterest and Social Media.

Crochet Mermaid Doll Amigurumi Pattern

I hope you enjoyed this cute Mermaid. Once you have finished crochet the tail, body, head, and arms, you can then stitch on the ‘bikini’. I used sewing thread. I also used sewing thread to stitch on a little mouth. Eyes were created by stitching on eyelids over brown felt. I stitched a little nose on by stitching back and forth in the middle of the face. For ears, I simply stitched on a looop of yarn each side.

Hair. 4 ply light blue yarn is used, however, the threads are separated which creates a curly look. Stitch on top of the head using a sewing needle. Stitch on the same way you would stitch on tassels.

I always wanted to crochet a Giraffe, however, when I finally did make one, it was totally by accident. I was trying to make something else. I was toying around with it (it was going to be a green succulent) and I realised I had made 4 legs and a long neck. I made the same pattern in yellow and folded it up the way pictures below will show you. Vola! My very own Crochet Giraffe. I love it so much, it even ended up on my Crochet Giraffe based on Cuteness competition. :D

Crochet Materials:

Crochet Hook size 1.25 mm

Crochet yarn: Yellow 2 ply, purple 4 ply, white 100 % cotton, dark green 2 ply, brown felt.

Crochet Giraffe Pattern Instructions.

Even though this crochet giraffe pattern started as a succulent plant, I have to say, it is pretty clever. All crochet cleverness is welcome, even though it was a complete accident! 

The neck, 4 legs, and body are made in one go. Make two motifs exactly the same. Stack one on top of the other and stitch the sides together.

Crochet Giraffe Neck: Ch 13, 1 sc in 2nd ch from hook, in next 7 chs crochet 1 dc, 1 tr in next 6 chs, 1 dc, 1 hdc, 1 sc. Leave last ch unworked.

Crochet Giraffe Body: Ch 7, turn, 1 dc in 3rd ch from hook. In remaining chs crochet 1 tr, 1 dtr, 1 ttr, 1 dtr.

Fold up as follows: Fold the legs downwards and point the neck upwards. Secure with stitches to keep in position. Fold the body into a ball and fold over the hole in the middle. Stitch in place using a sewing needle. It will look like the image below. All you have to do know is to crochet head, ears, eyes, horns, tail, and spots. 

Crochet Giraffe head. 

Make two head motifs and stitch the sides together.

Ch 5, sl st in 3rd ch from hook (giraffe horn), ch 3, 1 ddc in next ch (4th ch) on ch 5 cord, 1 tr in next ch, 1 hdc in same ch as tr. Fasten off. Stitch on top of the giraffe neck.
