Switch Things Up

I love how versatile this pattern is for customization; you can change colors to reflect your favorite yoga outfit or create seasonal palettes.

Want a larger doll? Use a bulkier yarn and a larger hook to scale up the finished size while keeping the same stitch counts.

For a tiny keychain version, use finer yarn and a smaller hook β€” just be mindful to adjust stuffing and wire accordingly.

I often swap out the internal wire for flexible pipe cleaners when making toys for kids, which still gives some bendability but is safer and easier to adjust.

Try embroidering different facial expressions by altering eye placement and curve to give happy, sleepy, or meditative looks.

Add accessories like a tiny crocheted yoga mat or a removable scarf to personalize each doll as a gift.

Experiment with texture by using the V-shape or X-shape stitch methods described in the tips to create subtle surface details on the clothes.

To make a boy or a different character, change the hair style, hair color, or add small crocheted details like a headband or bun wraps.

I sometimes stuff less in the limbs for a floppy look or stuff more tightly for a firm, structured piece β€” choose the feel you prefer.

Don't be afraid to mix techniques: embroider patterns on the clothing, add tiny beads for decoration, or sew on felt details for extra dimension.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

βœ— Skipping stitch markers when working continuous rounds can make you lose track of the beginning of rounds; place a marker at the start of every round to maintain accurate stitch counts. βœ— Understuffing or overstuffing limbs causes poor shaping and lumps; stuff gradually and evenly, checking shape as you go to achieve a smooth silhouette. βœ— Changing color too late or too early can create visible transition loops; stop crocheting with the old color before pulling the last loop through and use the new color to pull through the final loops for a clean join. βœ— Joining rounds with slip stitches every round creates visible lines; instead, work continuously without joining and use a stitch marker or running marker to track rounds. βœ— Forgetting to use the invisible decrease makes the fabric look uneven; use the front-loop-only method described in the tips to create a neat decrease that blends into the piece.

Assembly Instructions

  • Sew the head to the body by inserting the head behind the front loops of the 3rd round of the head and behind the last round of the body, securing with a whipstitch and hiding the seam.
  • Attach arms during Round 32 by inserting the arm closing stitch into the indicated closing stitch on the body, then crochet the connecting stitches as described and secure the arm seams.
  • Sew the breast details to the body by matching the breast closing stitch to the 11th stitch of the body and crocheting together 8 SC, then continue joining the second breast in the same way so details face right sides together.
  • Insert pre-measured wire into each arm (leave small loops at the ends), then stuff arms and body evenly and position the wire to allow the arms to bend at the elbow.
  • Sew legs to the body along the leg’s last round, attaching each leg to the body between rounds 9 and 20 and fold and sew legs together at the top to create the crossed-leg pose.
  • Sew hair and topknot onto the head: sew hair to the head base and attach the topknot to the crown (4th round of hair) ensuring the hairline matches the head picture.
  • Embroider eyes between rounds 9 and 10 using black thread, following the picture references for placement, and finish by sewing any remaining openings closed invisibly.

Important Notes

  • πŸ’‘Use a smaller hook size than suggested on the yarn label for tight amigurumi stitches and a neat fabric.
  • πŸ’‘Use stitch markers to keep track of your rounds, especially when working continuous rounds and shaping sections.
  • πŸ’‘Stuff firmly but not excessively; if stitches begin to stretch, remove small amounts of stuffing to avoid distortion.
  • πŸ’‘Change color just before the new color is needed and pull the new color through the last loop to create a clean color transition.
  • πŸ’‘Do not join every round; work continuously and use stitch markers to avoid visible joining lines for a professional finish.
