Hey NeedleWorkMonday Family! It’s been awhile since I did a needlework post. Guess what? This isn’t my work so technically it will still be a little longer before I update what I’m working on. 😁
Let me tell you a funny story. My SIL (sister in law in case you didn’t know 😉) sends me a snap shot of what she was working on. It was an amigurumi leg. I got so excited because she has never attempted this style of crochet before. She is a great crocheter but this was something new for her. So while on the phone I said,
Oh my gosh you are making an amigurumi doll?!!
She says,
An amiguru-mi who?
🤣🤣🤣
I said,
Amigurumi, it’s basically 3D crochet.
She says,
Oh stop making up words again, there’s no such thing!
🤣🤣🤣
So finally she researched and realized I was telling the truth and she couldn’t believe what she was doing was called Amigurumi...what a fancy name!
So here we are now, seeing the process of her work. She is a really good designer and comes up with her own crochet work. She prefers it this way over reading a pattern. Thus, the video at the end is the source of this pattern she followed. She’s one of those visual experts. If she can see it she can do it! I’ve always challenged her to learn crochet terms so she can easily recognize them when following a pattern or video. Till this day she still claims I make up half of what I tell her. 🙄😅
This doll belongs to my niece that just turned nine last weekend. She wanted the hair to have spunky colors which I think is really bold and fun.
Below I have edited the process images in a desaturated color so that each photo would have the same tones for easier viewing.

This is really neat to me because my SIL installs braids for people so she used the same method of weaving with the crochet hook.

Here she is relaxing and waiting for her facial features. 😄
There are many times when I mix two or more patterns together to get an end result that I am pleased with. This is the case for this doll. My SIL is going to use a different method than the one shown in this video to make her facial features. I’ll be sure to come back and show you the final results!
Oh I almost forgot to mention, she designed this adorable dress for the doll! 🤩
