Hello Kitty LOVE

So I wanted to share this hello kitty doll that I made for my friend's 25th birthday gift. She loves hello kitty and I'd have to say that I gave the best gift hands down! Nothing can beat a hand made gift. <3 Read more

For everyone who is interested in making this I posted the link to the site where I got the pattern from below. I made some slight modifications since the patterns was for a doll with overalls.

Tips for making your own Hello Kitty:

1. Download the pattern and use it as a guide. I never have all the right materials but I think that's ok. The pink yarn I used was thinner than the white yarn that I used for the head so I doubled up on the pink yarn to compensate. Try to make alterations with what you already have. I hate having to buy more needles and yarn so I just use whatever is closest to the pattern specifications.
2. Use other amigurumi patterns from www.lionbrand.com to match the look that you want.
3. For the dress I use

With C, ch 25.

Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across—24 sts.

Row 2: Ch 1, turn, 2 sc in each st across—48 sts.

Row 3: Ch 1, turn, sc in each st across.

Row 4 (ruffle): Ch 1, turn, *(sc, hdc) in next st, dc in next st, (hdc, sc) in next st, sl st in next st; rep from * across.

Fasten off.

The pattern is for a very small dress so increase the Ch length to match the circumference of the body.d the dress pattern from the following link:

4. To assemble sew together using a yarn needle, hot glue eyes, I added strands of pearls, and sew the whiskers on the sides of the face.
