Willy's Amiguru"Me"
My last post introduced you to the fabulous craft of Amigurumi and I showed you Molly Doll who was made for my daughter Molly. After making Molly Doll I just had to make a doll for my son Willy too, and of coarse he wanted a doll made in his likeness just like Molly's. So I set out to make Willy's Amiguru"Me" (hehe, isn't that cute!). I wanted to try something a little different and I was inspired to try making a sort of abstract, retro inspired doll with a flat head like the old Raggedy Ann dolls. It was really fun figuring this guy out and really simple to make! As you can see I haven't been able to bring myself to make a face for him yet in fear that I will mess him up. Willy thinks he is sad without a face. What kind of expression do you think Willy Doll should have?
I will post the pattern soon but couldn't wait to get a couple pictures of him up after reading AmigurumiBB's Blog post about her flat-headed boy doll. I just LOVE the curly hair that she gave him. Check back here soon for Willy's free pattern and learn how I gave him his permanent curly locks and created the flat head and movable hands, feet, legs, and arms. :)
