Lena the Ballerina Doll is a low-sew amigurumi pattern with two hairstyles: pigtails and a bun. This little dancer’s ragdoll style body is perfect for cuddling, carrying around, and playing. This quick and easy pattern only requires sewing for the hair cap to the head; everything else is worked in one piece! This doll can be crocheted with different yarn weights and fibers to create different looks, such as a super bulky blanket or chenille yarn for a plush, velvety feel, or medium weight yarn in cotton or acrylic for a smaller size and clear stitch definition. It’s the perfect birthday gift or Christmas holiday gift for girls who love ballet.
The PDF pattern includes 60+ in-line progress photos as part of a detailed photo tutorial to help guide you through the doll-making process.
