Crochet Your Own Gothic Amigurumi Doll

Detailed Recipe:

1. Materials Needed:
   • Black, white, and red yarn (for the doll’s dress, body, and rose)
   • Crochet hook suitable for your yarn size
   • Fiberfill for stuffing
   • Safety eyes or small black beads
   • Tapestry needle
   • Scissors
   • Wire (optional, for more structure in arms and legs)
2. Step 1: Crocheting the Body
   • Start with the white yarn to crochet the body in a round using single crochet (SC).
   • Shape the body with gradual increases and decreases, ensuring it’s evenly stuffed.
3. Step 2: Creating the Dress
   • Switch to black yarn to crochet the dress directly onto the body, starting at the waist.
   • Work in rounds, adding length to the dress until it reaches the desired length.
4. Step 3: Adding the Hair
   • Use the black yarn to create long strands for the hair.
   • Attach the strands securely to the head, arranging them to form a sleek, straight hairstyle.
5. Step 4: Making the Rose
   • Crochet a small red rose using the red yarn. Start with a magic ring and work in SC to create a tightly coiled flower.
   • Create a green stem and leaves, attaching them to the rose, and place it in the doll’s hand.
6. Step 5: Final Touches
   • Insert safety eyes or sew on small black beads for the eyes.
   • Embroider small details on the face, such as the lips and eyebrows.
   • Adjust the doll’s hair, dress, and rose for the perfect finishing touches.
