Nutcracker Christmas Doll Free Crochet Pattern

Nutcracker Christmas Doll Free Crochet Pattern (2)

Nutcracker is one of the indispensable toys especially for Christmas and today I want to introduce you to a very new design. The designer of the toy is Woolly.Dooly and this year she shared a lot of free amigurumi patterns. Although the doll is made with a lot of detail and a lot of colors, I think the toy can be made because the pattern is quite explanatory.

Amigurumi Nutcracker Christmas Doll

However, since the designer’s toys are quite small in size, crocheting can be a bit tiring and difficult. It is recommended that you use a 3mm crochet hook when making the toy and use 6mm safety eyes when making the eyes of the crochet doll.
