Welcome to the warm and radiant world of floral-inspired amigurumi! 🌼🧶 Today, I’m delighted to share my FREE crochet pattern for an Amigurumi Marigold Doll—a vibrant celebration of tradition and craftsmanship, inspired by the golden cempasúchil blooms of Día de los Muertos. Whether you’re creating a heartfelt altar offering, stitching a meaningful gift to honor loved ones, or simply embracing the beauty of Mexican folk art, this design features a charming muñeca with layered marigold-petal skirts, delicate sugar skull embroidery, and a floral crown that captures the spirit of remembrance and joy. Perfect for cultural crafters, festival enthusiasts, or anyone who loves creating with color and symbolism.

This design blends intricate detail with heartfelt simplicity, with step-by-step instructions for the doll’s twirling skirt, embroidered floral motifs, and optional accessories like a tiny candle or papel picado banner. Choose fiery oranges, sunny yellows, and rich purples for a traditional look, or soft pastels for a gentle twist. 🌸 So grab your hooks, select your brightest yarns, and let’s crochet a tribute that blooms with love and memory. “Every stitch weaves a story—yarn becomes celebration!” ✨🧶
