Amigurumi Doll Base Crochet Pattern CAL (Part 1: Materials)

Hello and welcome to my very first Crochet-Along!

I can't wait to share with you this adorable amigurumi doll base pattern with you. The reason why I decided to split this post into multiple posts for a crochet-along is that some parts are more complicated than others.

If you would like to purchase an ad-free PDF version of this crochet pattern, you can find it in my Ravelry Store.

I wanted to share additional photos of the more complicated parts of this crochet pattern plus I think it would be awesome to see everyone's progress making this doll!

This is a great doll base crochet pattern... for multiple reasons! I love her size, especially the size of her head. I put pipe-cleaners inside her body to help her neck be a bit more sturdy and her limbs poseable. My girls love her.

More recently, I've been slowly designing and making outfits for Mini Mimi. Soon enough, she'll have a full wardrobe of her own!

Each Monday for the next few Mondays, I will publish a part of the crochet pattern on the blog. Are you interested in making your own Mini Mimi? Join our Mini Mimi Facebook Event and share your progress!

Take some time to gather the materials you need this weekend! Part 2 of the CAL will be published next Monday!

Also, don't forget to share with me your progress on Instagram! Use the hashtags #onceuponacheerio and #minimimiCAL so I can find you!

This is me, and my mini me :)
