Crochet Doll Free Pattern – Mom Doll with Removable Clothes

I love making amigurumi that children can actually play with, and this crochet mom doll was especially fun to design. I originally made her with my daughter in mind, and now that she knows she’s going to become a big sister, she loves carrying the little baby wrapped around the doll just like I used to carry her.

This crochet doll is made for imaginative play, with lots of little details that children can interact with. The dress, shoes, giraffe hat, baby, and crocheted wrap can all be removed, so they can dress her up, take care of her baby, and create their own little stories. She stands about 30 cm (12 inches) tall, and I’ve included lots of step-by-step pictures to make this amigurumi doll easy and enjoyable to crochet.

More Crochet Toys for Kids to Make

If you enjoy making crochet toys that are more than just something cute to look at, I have a few more fun designs you might want to try. From adorable rattles for little hands to larger amigurumi with removable clothes and accessories, these patterns are made to inspire imaginative play.

The Giraffe Rattle is a fun choice if you love the giraffe details on this doll, while the Cow Rattle has its own adorable design and is perfect for little ones to hold and play with. And if you’re looking for something bigger, my Snuggle Bunny is about 35 cm (14 inches) tall and comes with a removable jumper, carrots in his pocket, and a little bunny tucked into the basket bag he carries. He’s practically a little character of his own!

Crochet Mom Doll Pattern

• Black thread to embroider the eyes.
• Sewing needle,

Finished Size

The finished crochet doll measures approximately 12″ (30 cm) tall. However, the final size may vary depending on your stitch tension and the materials used.

Gauge

Gauge is not crucial for this pattern, so feel free to use a hook size that matches your chosen yarn. I always recommend using a slightly smaller hook to keep the stitches tight and prevent the stuffing from showing through. If needed, adjust your hook size for a neater finish.

Terms and abbreviations (US terms):

Slip stitch (sl): insert the hook into the stitch and pull up a loop, now, pull it through the loop on your needle.

Single crochet (sc): insert the hook into the stitch, and pull up a loop yarn over the needle, you will have two loops on the hook, yarn over the needle, and pull it through the two loops.

Double Crochet (dc): yarn over the needle, insert the hook into the stitch, pull up a loop, yarn over the needle, pull through the first two loops of your needle, yarn over the needle, inside all loops on the needle.

Increase (inc): make two single crochet inside the same stitch.

Decrease (dec): Insert the hook into the front loop only of the next two stitches, yarn under, and pull through, you will have two loops on the hook. Yarn under and pull through both loops on the hook.

2. Sew the ears between rounds 7 and 10, leaving 2 stitches between the antennas and the ears.
3. Sew 2 small dots and 1 larger dot on the front of the hat, and repeat on the back. Feel free to use your imagination and place the spots wherever you like! For reference, I placed mine 2 rounds before the edge on both the front and back, leaving 2 stitches (or 1 round) between each spot.

Doll Assembly

1. Insert the belt through the holes in round 13 of the dress and tie a bow at the back.
2. Put the dress on the doll. You can either sew the back of the dress closed or add a button.
3. Place the hair on top of the doll’s head and sew it in place. Leave the chain strands without sewing. Fold the hair curls in half and sew them onto the sides of the doll’s head.
4. The giraffe hat is removable. If you prefer, you can sew it onto the doll’s head.
5. Add the shoes. Using brown yarn, make a small bow and fold the last round down.
6. Embroider the doll’s eyes in round 59, leaving 7 stitches between them. Embroider the eyebrows one round above the eyes and one stitch to the side.
7. Embroider the baby’s eyes one round below the hat.
