anne of green gables crochet project

 Hey guys!

This is a really short post, but I just wanted to show you two little dolls I made a while ago using Sweet Softies' Baby Bean Doll crochet pattern. It uses the amigurumi method to whip up a fast, versatile and beginner-friendly doll base. So far it's my favourite and each doll took about a day to make. 

I borrowed some tips she gave to make the girl doll (Anne of Green Gables), then decided to wing it and improvise on my own design for the guy doll (Gilbert, from the series too). They turned out better than I expected, haha! Here's a closeup of them:

Aren't they adorable? His legs are a little wonky but I'm surprised at how well her apron turned out. 

The hardest part was braiding her hair because it was so fiddly. I also added a neckscarf to jazz his outfit up because the shirt and pants looked a bit basic. 

(P.S. I also skipped safety eyes and did the embroidered versions instead because I didn't have any on hand. In my opinion safety eyes look way better and are easier to add, but it was a fun challenge experimenting with different ways to stitch their eyes.)

I would definitely recommend this doll base pattern to anyone looking for a sweet and simple project to try! There'll be more coming after these two...I already have some ideas up my sleeve. Maybe a Disney princess or two? I'll be using this pattern for a long time more 😋  

Here's an easy link to the pattern:
