Why You'll Love This Alice, the Doll Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it brings a lot of character with simple techniques and clear steps. I enjoy how the hair and braids give the doll a unique personality and how small embroidery details make a big difference. I love that the pattern balances straightforward amigurumi shaping with opportunities for creative finishing. I find it very satisfying to sew the hair pieces and watch the doll come to life with freckles, eyebrows and a tiny nose.

Switch Things Up

I love suggesting ways to customize this doll to make each one special and unique.

Try changing the hair color to blonde, red, or grey to create different characters and personalities.

I often substitute the body yarn with a slightly thicker cotton to make a chunkier, cuddlier version—adjust the hook size accordingly.

You can alter the outfit colors and stitch a tiny embroidered pattern on the jumpsuit to add a personalized touch.

Make the doll smaller by using thinner yarn and a smaller hook for a keychain-sized version that fits in the palm of your hand.

I sometimes add wire to the limbs for a poseable version; be sure to cover wire ends safely and secure them inside the stuffing.

Switch the braids for a ponytail or loose curls by changing the braid length and the finishing method.

Use felt or tiny buttons for shoes and accessories to add texture and interest to your doll's look.

Experiment with different eye types—safety eyes, embroidered eyes, or tiny buttons—to change her expression and safety level.

I encourage adding small props like a crocheted lollipop or basket to create a themed set for gifting or display.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Not placing the marker or contrast thread before inserting eyes can cause misplacement; mark the split between rounds 19 and 20 before fixing the safety eyes. ✗ Skipping stitch counts during increases and decreases leads to incorrect shaping; count stitches after each round and record totals to avoid mistakes. ✗ Stuffing too early or too loosely results in a misshapen head; wait to stuff firmly until after the final decreases and add fiberfill gradually to keep a smooth shape. ✗ Failing to leave thread tails for sewing causes difficulty in assembly; always leave a tip of thread when cutting so you can sew pieces neatly into place. ✗ Not pinning hairstyles and ears before sewing creates uneven placement; use pins to position parts, check photos for reference, and only then sew securely.

Assembly Instructions

  • Insert and fix safety eyes between rounds 19 and 20, counting 6 single crochets from the marker in both directions so the eyes are symmetrically placed.
  • Sew on the ears between rounds 20 and 21 using the thread tails left when making the ears and secure with small stitches.
  • Position the hairstyle pieces on the head using pins, then sew the hairstyle pieces in place following the photo references for correct orientation.
  • Braid the three strands attached to each hairstyle, tie them with red thread, and sew the braids securely to the back of the head.
  • Sew the forelock in the middle of the forehead and stitch the short back hairs in place; hide and weave in ends neatly inside the head.

Important Notes

  • 💡Use a marker or a contrast thread at the split point to place the eyes correctly between rounds 19 and 20.
  • 💡Leave thread tails when finishing pieces so you have enough length to sew pieces securely in place.
  • 💡Stuff the head firmly but gradually with fiberfill after the final decreases to achieve an even shape.
  • 💡Pin hairstyles and other parts in place before sewing to ensure symmetry and correct positioning.
