Amigurumi Sally Crochet Doll Free Pattern
Welcome Crocheters! Today I am excited to share with you my newest design, my Amigurumi Sally Crochet Doll Pattern.
I have included patterns for a simple dress and for overalls and a t-shirt – so if you would like to make Sally into Sam instead – you can! Or if Sally wants to wear pants that’s ok too!

This amigurumi crochet doll pattern was designed as part of the 2020 Softie Crochet Along.
This Crochet Along is a Group CAL with #CALCentralCrochet on Facebook and Ravelry.
Along with a new pattern every Monday, from March 30 to June 1st (10 in total), there are also giveaway prizes!
You can learn more about the CAL, the designs and the prizes (and how to enter!) in Marie’s Softie Crochet Along Post here.
[disclaimer]The Poly-Fil Premium Polyester Fiber Fill and Poly-Pellets used to create this pattern was given to me by Fairfield World.[/disclaimer]
Poly-Pellets are a 100% polypropylene weighted stuffing material that adds a bit of weight and form to your amigurumi projects.
I really loved the convenient “Easy Pour and Store” spout on the bag!
I’d never seen this type of bag before. The bag can be opened and closed, just like a reusable water bottle. The bottle-top feature made it extremely EASY to pour the Poly-Pellets into the body of the doll. Plus, now I can store the bag anywhere because the lid twists back and keeps the pellets inside and the bag stands up by itself! No more spills!
Why do I like using Poly-Pellets?
I like how it makes the amigurumi feel more solid. I find my toys are less prone to losing their shape with playtime and pressure. I also like the extra weight it gives to toys. I like to use a combination of the Poly-Pellets and Fiber Fill in my toys.
When I make toys using yarns that are heavier weight and there are small spaces between the stitches I put the pellets into a nylon, or sock before placing them inside my project. This keeps them from slipping out from between the stitches.

Crochet Doll Overalls
We begin by making a pair of pants before adding the front bib and straps. The pants are worked in rows before being seamed into shape.
Using your 5 mm (H) hook (or size required for gauge):
R1: With Color C (Ash): ch 29, sk the first ch, 1 sc in each st across, ch 1, turn. [28 sc]
R2-R10: 1 sc in each st across, ch 1, turn. [28 sc]

R12: 1 sc in each of the first 13 sts, leave remaining sts unworked, ch 1, turn. [13 sc]
R13-R24: 1 sc in each st across, ch 1, turn. Finish off leaving a long tail for seaming. [13 sc]
Second Pant Leg
Rejoin yarn in the first unworked st of R12, to work the second pant leg.
R12-R24: With Color C (Ash): 1 sc in each st across, ch 1, turn. Finish off leaving a long tail (6-8 inches) for seaming. [13 sc]
Fold the pants like this:
Next, we need to seam the pants. Begin at the ankle and seam up the inside of the pant leg seam up to the top of each pant leg. Then, seam up the backside of the pants to the waist.
Turn the pants over and place on a flat surface. Find the center-most stitch in the middle front of the pants and mark this stitch with a stitch marker.
Count over 4 sts and place a second stitch marker. Count over 4 sts to the opposite side of the middle stitch marker and place the third stitch marker.
These 9 stitches will be used to create the front of the overalls.
Front of the Overalls
Using your 5 mm (H) hook (or size required for gauge):
Join your yarn in the first stitch marked with the stitch marker, with the front of the pants facing you.
R1: With Color C (Ash): 1 sc in each of the next 9 sts, ch 1, turn. [9 sc]

R4: 1 sc in each st across, do not ch 1, turn. [7 sc]
R5: Sk the first st, 1 sc in each st across to the last 2 sts, sc2tog, turn, ch 1, turn. [5 sc]
Next we create the first overall strap.
R6: 1 sc in each of next 2 sts, leave rem sts unworked, ch 1, turn. [2 sc]
R7-R18: 1 sc in each st across, finish off and weave in end. [2 sc]
Second Overall Strap
Rejoin yarn in 8th st of R6.
R1: With Color C (Ash): 1 sc in each of the next 2 sts, ch 1, turn. [2 sc]
R2-R12: 1 sc in each st across, finish off and weave in ends. [2 sc]
Work sc sts evenly around the upper band of the pants and the overall straps. Finish off and weave in ends. You can sew the overall straps to the pants at the back, or add snaps to allow them to be opened and closed.
Front Overall Pocket
Using your 5 mm (H) hook (or size required for gauge):
The Front Overall Pocket is crocheted in rows.
R1: With Color C (Ash): Ch 5, sk the first ch, 1 sc in each rem st across, ch 1, turn. [4 sc]
R2-R3: 1 sc in each st across, ch 1, turn.
Rotate your work to single crochet around the 3 sides of the pocket; working 1 sc in each row end and chaining 1 in each of the corners. Finish off leaving a long tail of yarn to seam to the pants. Whipstitch the pocket to the pants on the 2 side edges and the bottom. See image below:

Using your 5 mm (H) hook (or size required for gauge):
R1: With Color C (Ash): DMR: 8 sc. [8 sc]

R5: (Sc2tog) 2 times, 1 sc in each rem st around. [10 sc]
R6: (Sc2tog) 2 times, 1 sc in each rem st around. [8 sc]
R7: 1 sc in each st around. Finish off and weave in the ends. [8 sc]
Repeat R1-R7 for the second shoe.
Crochet Doll Dress
Using your 4 mm (G) hook (or size required for gauge):
The Doll Dress is crocheted in rows before being seamed into shape.
R1: With Color D (Raindrop): ch 40, sk the first ch, 1 sc in each st across. [39]

Next, using the yarn end you left from R1, seam up the back of the dress; leaving the last 7 rows open to create the neckline. Finish off and weave in the yarn end.
We will now work around the neckline to create a basic finished edge. Work sc sts evenly around the neckline. Finish off and weave in any remaining ends. You can add a snap closure if you wish, or leave it open.
Dress Sleeves
Using your 4 mm (G) hook (or size required for gauge):
Join your yarn in the sleeve opening in one loop of a stitch.
R1: With Color D (Raindrop): work 10 sc evenly around the sleeve opening. [10 sc]
R2-R3: 1 sc in each st around. Finish off with an invisible join and weave in ends. [10 sc]
Repeat R1-R3, for the second sleeve. Finish off with an invisible join and weave in any remaining ends.
Bottom Edging for the Dress
Using your 4 mm (G) hook (or size required for gauge):
R1: With Color E (Whisker): join your yarn in the st at the back seam of the dress with a slip stitch. Sk 1 st, 5 dc in the next st, sk 1 st. *1 sl st in the next st, sk 1 st, 5 dc in the next st, sk 1 st**. Rep from * to ** around. Sl st in the first sl st of the round to join. Finish off and weave in end.
You can either add a snap closure or leave the dress as it is for the neckline. Here are 2 photo examples:
Crochet Doll Finishing Instructions
Crochet Doll Body
Fill the body with Poly Pellets and then add a little Poly-fil to the top to hold them in place (if you are having trouble keeping them from spilling out). Sally is approximately 8-inches around at her belly.
Using your remaining yarn end, weave it in and out through one loop of each remaining stitch and pull to cinch and close the top of the body. The technique used is the same as the one I use to close my mittens and slouch hats. If you need help here is my tutorial: Closing Method
Doll Arms
Whipstitch Sally’s 2 arms together along the end of each arm. Place Sally’s joined arms on top of the body and sew them to the body.
See how the third image demonstrates a straight seam? Just down the center of the joined arms?
Crochet Doll Head
To finish Sally’s head we need to place and position the eyes. If you want your eyes in the same position as my doll’s eyes please use these photos to assist you.
I placed a piece of white craft felt behind each of the eyes and just cut them to shape with my sharp embroidery scissors. This is optional.
Step 2 Step 3
Once you have placed your eyes where you like them, secure the safety eyes securely.
Now stuff the head with Poly-Fil.
Using the yarn end you left on her head (neck), sew the head to the doll’s body; the arms will be sandwiched in between the head and body.
Crochet Doll Legs
Sew the two legs to the bottom of the body of the doll. Use this photo to guide you.
Crochet Doll Face (optional nose stitch and lips)
If you are adding the nose, hand sew it on the face using the following image for positioning. I used the same color of yarn (Color A: Linen) as I used for the rest of the doll.
If you are adding the mouth to the doll I used a light pink yarn. Please use the following image for positioning. You can also use embroidery thread.
Crochet Doll Hair
Sally’s doll hair is crocheted onto the doll’s head. I worked around 1 post of each stitch and for the most part, followed the spiral at the top of her head and then the rows down the back and sides of her head. The posts were located between the rows of stitches. See the following image for an idea of where to look on the doll:
I worked (1 sc, ch 12, 1 sc) to create each hair loop for the back of the head. For the top of the head at the front I worked (1 sc, ch 6, 1 sc) because I wanted it to be shorter at the top and front.
You can vary the number of chains you make to create shorter (less than 6 chains) or longer hair (more than 12 chains). This will let you make Sally into Sam (which is why I provided both a dress and overalls for you with this pattern).
I worked 1 sc for every post stitch of the head and I always tried to work the st beside the previous st I’d made to make the loops stay close together.
If you make Sally, or Sam, I’d love to see your photos! If you are sharing on Instagram, tag your photos with #sallycrochetdoll or #samcrochetdoll and @oombawkadesigncrochet
