Soon after finishing the Star Wars Crochet, I was eager to continue with amigurumi. I found this book of cute dolls on Amazon, called My Crochet Doll by Isabelle Kessdjian. I figured it would be adorable for my niece’s one year birthday.
She used Bergere de France yarn, which is not something that can be found at the local craft store. So, I ended up just going to the local craft store and buying some yarn in similar colors. I have since ordered yarn from them and they sent me a yarn catalog with little yarn samples. Love it!
I think the one thing I learned on this doll, was that when adding doll hair, you need to do it sparse. When I first did her hair I had way too much yarn for hair. I had to go through and pull out half of it. Even then, I think her hair is a bit thick, but over all I am really proud f this doll. I think she’s the best thing I’ve ever made. I have purchased yarn to make one of the other dolls since then. But I haven’t gotten around to making yet. The next doll I make from this book will be the little Eskimo girl. These dolls are too cute!
