I found this Disney Princess Amigurumi Kit and wanted to give it a try. The kit comes with a pattern book for 12 dolls, and all the materials needed to make Cinderella and Ariel. I lucked out and found it at Costco for significantly less than the Amazon price!
I learned to crochet about a month ago, and this was my first shot at amigurumi. It was definitely a challenge for me! All the pieces were so small and finicky, especially the arms. The hardest part though was the assembly! When I went to put it together, the hair was too big for the head (I made the head first and the hair last, so I’m guessing I was just crocheting too tightly at the beginning). Then I had a hard time getting the head on the body in a way that wouldn’t cause the whole thing to topple over. I’m also a bit nervous that all my finishing will come undone, but I guess only time will tell.
Overall, I learned from some mistakes and gained some new skills, so hopefully the next one will be easier. And I think she’s pretty cute!
I used this kit, but switched to a 2.25mm hook (the kit includes a 3.5) for the shell bra and freehanded a flower for her hair with the same!
