Preparing the Strands

Attachment Pattern

• Start at the nape of the neck (bottom back of head).
• Work in horizontal rows moving upward.
• Create a center part by working symmetrically from the center front.
• Continue until entire cap has full coverage.
• For the front center part: leave a small gap (2–3 stitches wide).

Creating Spiral Curls

1. Once all strands are attached, wrap each strand tightly around a knitting needle or pencil.
2. Lightly mist with water or use a steamer.
3. Let dry completely (several hours or overnight).
4. Carefully unwrap each curl.
5. Gently separate and fluff for volume.

The finished hair should cascade past the waist in luxurious golden waves.

📝 Pattern Notes & Tips

About Gauge

This pattern is designed for Sport or DK weight yarn with a 2.25 mm hook.

• Larger hook / bulkier yarn → larger doll.
• Thinner yarn → more delicate, miniature version.

Stuffing Tips

• Head: Stuff very firmly for a smooth, round shape.
• Body: Firm but not rock-hard – should have slight give.
• Arms: Very light stuffing – they need to be flexible.
• Legs: Light stuffing below knee only – upper thigh flexible for posing.
• Skirt panels: No stuffing – they should drape naturally.

Working with Split-Front Design

The split-front gown is what makes this doll distinctive.
Don’t be tempted to close the front – the dramatic open split showcasing the legs is intentional and creates the couture look.

Hair Tips

• Use smooth, tightly twisted yarn for best curl results.
• The tighter you wrap around the needle/pencil, the tighter the curl.
• Be patient with drying time – rushed curls won’t hold.
• Don’t skip the fluffing step – it adds crucial volume.

Wire in Arm

If you’ve never worked with wire in amigurumi:

• Use craft wire (18–20 gauge).
• Cut wire 2 cm shorter than the arm length.
• Create small loops at each end by bending the wire back on itself.
• This prevents the wire from poking through the crochet.
• Insert wire before final stuffing.
