| Amigurumi Chinese New Year Doll: Gong Xi Fa Cai! |
The pattern is from By Hook, By Hand: Free Spirit Amigurumi Doll Pattern, by Beth Webber. What an amazing and wonderful site this is! Beth makes the most beautiful dolls, and she shares her patterns for free.
The body is done with Bendigo Woollen Mills Luxury 8 ply. The doll has pipe cleaners/wires in its legs and arms that make its limbs bendable, hence the doll is poseable. I used Beth's technique for a movable neck, from her Bleuette Doll Pattern. I also made the head smaller - 36 stitches at its widest circumference instead of 40 stitches that is stated in the pattern, and followed Bleuette's face.
The CheongSam or Qipao (traditional Chinese dress for women) is my own design. The shoes are adapted from Beth's Mary Jane Shoes for Bleuette. Both are crocheted with cotton lace yarn from the local craft store.
