Switch Things Up

I love how easily you can customize Alice by changing yarn colors—try soft pastels for a vintage look or bright hues for a playful character.

You can change the size by using a thicker yarn and larger hook to create a chunky, cuddly version or thinner yarn for a tiny keychain-sized doll.

I often swap the hair color and style to make different personalities; long braids, buns or ponytails all work beautifully with the same base pattern.

Embellish the outfit by crocheting tiny accessories like a scarf, little hat, or removable jumper for more play options.

I sometimes add wire to the limbs for gentle posability so the doll can sit or hold small props—use thin aluminum wire inside legs or arms.

Try embroidering different facial expressions: move the eyebrows and mouth placement slightly to create happy, curious or sleepy looks.

You can replace safety eyes with embroidered eyes for a fully soft, child-safe toy—use the same placement guidelines as the pattern.

Add tiny felt or crocheted props like a lollipop, bag or miniature toy to give each doll a unique story and photo-friendly detail.

For a seasonal touch, change the outfit palette—autumn tones, holiday colors or spring pastels all transform the mood instantly.

I recommend experimenting with texture by combining cotton and acrylic yarns for contrast—this gives hair and clothing a different drape and finish.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Placing safety eyes too early or too late can misalign facial proportions; always count stitches and insert the eyes between the specified rounds (between rounds 19 and 20) to ensure correct placement. ✗ Not stuffing the head evenly causes lumps and an unstable shape; stuff the head tightly and gradually, checking shape as you go to avoid over- or under-stuffing. ✗ Cutting threads too short before sewing will make assembly difficult; always leave a tip for sewing when finishing pieces so you have enough yarn to attach parts securely. ✗ Skipping stitch counts during increases or decreases leads to an incorrect stitch total; count stitches at the end of each round, especially after rounds with multiple increases or decreases.

Assembly Instructions

  • Insert safety eyes between rounds 19 and 20, counting 6 single crochets from the marker in both directions, then secure backs firmly.
  • Sew on the ears between rounds 20 and 21, matching left and right positions and using the tips left from the ear pieces to anchor them securely.
  • Place the hairstyles over the head as shown in the photos, pin into position, and sew around the base with a needle to attach firmly; braid and tie hair strands as instructed.
  • Embroider the nose between rounds 21 and 22 to achieve the correct width of 5 single crochet, then embroider the whites of the eyes, eyebrows and freckles as shown.
  • Sew the forelock in the middle of the hairstyle and attach the short back hairs with a needle, trimming any long loose fibers.
  • Finish by tightening decorative threads to slightly pull the eyes if desired, weave in all ends and tidy all seams for a neat finish.

Important Notes

  • 💡Use stitch markers to keep track of the beginning of each round and the marked stitch for eye placement between rounds 19 and 20.
  • 💡Stuff pieces firmly but gradually with fiberfill to maintain a smooth, rounded shape; overstuffing can distort shaping.
  • 💡Leave a tip of yarn when finishing pieces so you have enough thread to sew them in place cleanly and securely.
  • 💡Pin parts (hairstyle, ears, braids) in position before sewing to ensure symmetry and correct placement.
