🏰 Amigurumi Princess Castle & Doll Crochet Pattern
This pattern recreates the exact scene in the photo: three front-facing towers joined into one pastel castle, with pink scalloped roofs, tall gold-framed windows, a semi-circular balcony and a curly-haired princess in a blue dress with a scalloped pink hem and rose bouquet.
✨ Skill Level
High-intermediate – structural work with plastic canvas, doorway shaping, semicircular balcony, and doll shaping.
🧶 Yarn, Hook & Size Notes
The castle in the photo is made with soft chenille/bulky yarn (Dolphin Baby style). Using DK will give a much smaller castle and less plump texture.

Approximate finished sizes with bulky yarn:
- Castle height (to top of center flag): 35–40 cm
- Princess doll: 15–16 cm
🧵 Materials
- Bulky chenille yarn in:
- Lavender – side towers & parts of walls
- Light pink – center tower body, balcony, some roof sections
- Dusty pink – scallop roof rims, balcony top edge
- Mustard / soft gold – window frames
- Soft green – leaves at base
- Peach / tan – ground mat
- Soft blue – princess dress & headband crown

🏰 Castle – Overview & Layout
Photo-accurate structure:
- Exactly 3 towers, all front-facing and joined at their bases:
- Left tower: lavender body, dusty pink scallop ring, lavender cone, “WELCOME” flag
- Center tower (tallest): light pink body, dusty pink scallop ring, pink cone, “WELCOME” flag
- Right tower: lavender body, dusty pink scallop ring, lavender cone, “WELCOME” flag
- Towers sit on a connected front wall with an arched doorway cut into the base of the center tower, not a separate cylinder.
- A semi-circular pink balcony sits on the front of the center tower above the door, with 8–10 white vertical posts along the curved front edge.
- Windows: tall vertical gold frames appliquéd to tower fronts (approx. 2 per side tower, 1–2 on center tower).
- Peach oval mat under the front door; a small cluster of green leaves on the left side of the entrance.
Everything below is designed for that layout.
🌅 Ground Mat (Peach / Tan)
Peach/tan
R1: MR, 6 sc
R2: inc x6 (12)
R3: (1 sc, inc) x6 (18)
R4: (2 sc, inc) x6 (24)
R5: (3 sc, inc) x6 (30)
R6: (4 sc, inc) x6 (36)
R7: (5 sc, inc) x6 (42)
R8: (6 sc, inc) x6 (48)
FO.
You’ll place the castle on the back half of this mat so the doorway edge touches the mat’s front.
🗼 Shared Tower Notes
All towers are cylinders with plastic canvas inside for straight sides.
Gauge varies; focus on:
- Side towers: 18 sts circumference
- Center tower: 24 sts circumference and taller
You can adjust height with extra plain rounds.
🗼 Side Towers (Left & Right – Lavender)
Make 2.
Lavender
R1: MR, 6 sc
R2: inc x6 (12)
R3: (1 sc, inc) x6 (18)
R4–R28: sc around (18) – about 14–15 cm tall with chenille.
(If your rounds are shorter, continue to R32.)
FO, leave long tail for sewing.
Cut a plastic canvas rectangle and roll into a tube to fit snugly inside. Insert and lightly stuff (do not overstuff or they will bulge).
🗼 Center Tower (Light Pink – with Doorway)
Light pink
R1: MR, 6 sc
R2: inc x6 (12)
R3: (1 sc, inc) x6 (18)
R4: (2 sc, inc) x6 (24)
R5–R11: sc around (24) – solid base under doorway.
Doorway Opening
We’ll work straight rounds but leave a 10-stitch gap centered at the front.
Mark 12th stitch of the round as “front center.”
R12: sc to 5 sts before center mark, ch 10, skip 10 sts, sc to end (24 total including chains).
R13–R14: repeat R12 (sc over chains as normal sts). You now have a rectangular opening.
Continue Height
R15–R32: sc around (24) until tower is clearly taller than side towers (by ~4–6 cm).
FO, leave long tail.
Insert plastic canvas cylinder inside, aligning doorway cut-out with opening. Stuff firmly.
Doorway Edge
With dusty pink, join at lower right corner of opening.
Round doorway with sc evenly around edge (work up one side, across top arch in small sts, down other side). Keep shape slightly pointed/rounded like the photo.
🌸 Roof Scallop Rings (All 3 Towers – Dusty Pink)
For each tower, join dusty pink at top edge of body.
(Skip 1 st, in next st work: sc, hdc, dc, hdc, sc) – this makes one scallop.
Repeat around the full circumference, adjusting by occasionally skipping 2 sts if needed to keep fabric flat.
- Side towers: ~9–10 scallops
- Center tower: ~12 scallops
FO and weave in.

After R15 (14 sts):
R16–17: sc around
R18: (6 sc, inc) x2 (16)

🌙 A Finished Fairytale
When you’ve worked through the last stitch, you’ll have a castle that truly mirrors the photo: three front-facing pastel towers joined into a single structure, scalloped pink roof rims and cone tops waving “WELCOME” flags, tall golden windows, a soft peach mat and green leaves, and a princess whose blue skirt ends in a delicate pink scallop edge as she holds her rose bouquet.
It’s a scene that feels like it stepped out of a storybook — built entirely from your yarn, your hands, and a little bit of magic.
