The Sailor Moon amigurumi crochet pattern is a delightful project that appeals to fans of all ages. With its intricate details and iconic appearance, this amigurumi is perfect for those looking to recreate the beloved character with their own hands. In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to craft each part of the doll, from the blonde hair to the characteristic uniform, using amigurumi crochet techniques.
Guys, this Sailor Moon amigurumi was an absolute joy to make! If you, like me, grew up watching the adventures of the magical warriors or simply love making detailed little dolls, this project will charm you from beginning to end.
I used the classic colors: a bright yellow for the long hair, navy blue, red, and white for the uniform, and a soft skin tone to keep it delicate. The little secret here is using a yarn with good twist and a smaller hook (I used 2.5mm) to keep the stitches nice and tight, you know?
I started with the body, which is made in a spiral — super basic, with simple increases and decreases. Then I moved on to the hair, which takes a bit of effort but is totally worth every stitch! The little buns with pigtails are just the cutest.
I made the outfit separately and sewed it on afterward. The red bow in the front adds all the charm, and the tiara made with golden felt gave the doll that magical look we all love. I finished it off by gluing on felt eyes, embroidering the mouth, and adding a shy little smile… it turned out so lovely
It’s a project that takes a bit of patience with the details, but it’s incredibly rewarding. I made it for my geeky shelf, but I’m already thinking about making more to give as gifts or sell at craft fairs.

Serena Sailor Moon Amigurumi!
Okay, fellow yarn lovers, I have to gush about this one — my Serena Sailor Moon Amigurumi! If you’re a fan of magical girls, nostalgic anime, or just adorable handmade dolls, you are going to love bringing this cutie to life with your hook.
From the moment I started this project, I felt like I was channeling a bit of moonlight magic myself. Serena — or Usagi, for the purists out there — is such an iconic character. She’s clumsy, sweet, brave, and full of heart, and I wanted to capture all of that in yarn form. And let me tell you: this amigurumi version sparkles with personality!
I used soft acrylic yarns in those classic colors — pastel yellow for her hair (yes, the odango buns are there!), bright navy for the sailor outfit, pops of red for the bows, and creamy beige for her skin tone. And the little crescent moon detail? Chef’s kiss. It’s all about the details, right?
Her hair was definitely the most time-consuming part, but so worth it. I carefully stitched her twin tails in place and added just a bit of styling to give it that signature Serena flow. I swear, as soon as I attached her little pigtails, she came to life. That’s the magic of amigurumi — one moment you’re working with a ball of yarn, the next, you’re staring into the eyes of a tiny Sailor Guardian.
Speaking of eyes — I used safety eyes with a bit of felt behind them to give that wide, anime-style sparkle, but you can totally embroider them too if you prefer. I’ve even seen someone add tiny eyelashes with black thread for that dramatic manga look!
The body is a classic amigurumi shape: head and torso as one piece, with arms and legs sewn on separately. I like stuffing her firmly so she holds her shape well, especially if she’s going to sit on a shelf. She stands about 6 to 8 inches tall depending on your yarn and tension, but oh boy, does she make a statement. I placed mine on my craft shelf next to Luna the cat (yes, I made her too!) and every time I look at her, I smile.
This is such a fun project for intermediate crocheters — or adventurous beginners ready to tackle some shaping and detail work. You’ll use basic stitches like single crochet, increases, and decreases, with a little colorwork and assembly magic at the end. Totally doable — and totally rewarding!
I’ve made a few of these as gifts for anime-loving friends and let me tell you, their eyes lit up like they’d just transformed into Sailor Moon themselves. It’s such a sweet way to share a piece of childhood, friendship, and handmade love.
So if you’re looking for your next magical make, the Serena Sailor Moon Amigurumi is calling your name. Grab your hook and your yarn — the Moon Kingdom awaits!
