I’m on an amigurumi roll! Even though I had planned to do a pattern from my book next, it didn’t work out that way. When I was browsing through free patterns online while eating my breakfast, I came across this pattern for amigurumi Kokeshi dolls by Suncatcher Craft Eyes, and fell in love. I spent the afternoon and evening making this cute doll.

I used Schachenmayr Catania cotton (white 0105, red 0115, brown 0179 and black 0110) and a left over purple ribbon I had. I followed the pattern, however I made two reducing mistakes in the body, and I added a lot more rows to the hair (I think about three or four to the main part, and three more to the half circle. I stuffed it with fiberfill, and if you’re real careful, it even stands on its own!
