This listing is for a set of easy-to-follow digital PDF patterns showing how to crochet an amigurumi baby doll and the Baby Jesus set (manger, straw bed, crocheted hair, diaper wrap, halo, and swaddling blanket.) The following are all included!! The digital pattern of the Mini Baby Doll includes: 44 pages, 300+ full color photos, English US crochet terms, detailed descriptions and instructions. The digital pattern of the Baby Jesus Set includes: 27 pages, 120+ full color photos, English US crochet terms, detailed descriptions and instructions. BONUS included: 5-page (Mini Baby Doll) and 6-page (Baby Jesus set) TEXT ONLY PDF printable files, (to be used with guidance from the full pattern on a digital device), without using a ton of printer ink!!

If using size 2, fingering or super fine weight yarn, and a 1.5mm hook, the doll will be around 5” in length, and will fit in your hand! If using size 3, sport weight yarn, or size 4, worsted weight yarn, the doll will be considerably larger (approx. 6 1/2” sport weight, 8” worsted weight.) These dolls can be made with any size yarn, as long as you are consistent throughout the pattern. You will want to use a hook that provides a tight enough tension so that stuffing will not show through your stitches. If yarn is splitting and catching, you need to move up a hook size. Doll, hair, and halo are made with Yarn Under (x-stitch), and straw bed, diaper wrap, and swaddling blanket are made in Yarn Over (v-stitch) (or yarn under if you prefer.)

Supplies needed for this project include:
Size 1.5mm hook (OR hook size you prefer!)
Size 2.0mm hook (OR hook sized 0.5mm larger than hook used for doll)
Super fine weight yarn (I used Hobbii Rainbow cotton 8/4) in colors: preferred skin tone; small amounts of black, white, and brown for the face; white or natural white; light brown; olive (or light brown); golden yellow (curry); metallic gold (handmade Cocktail Deluxe from Hobbii)
Stitch markers or paper clips
Tapestry needle
Fiberfill stuffing
6mm safety eyes (if doing eyes open option)
14 Craft sticks (popsicle sticks)
Scissors
Craft glue
Craft paint or spray paint (optional)
Stick pins (lots of these!)
Large Styrofoam or thick foam piece for wet blocking
1 medium wooden button for blanket
