Bernie My Little Orange Blossom

Bernie 

Say Hi to Bernie!
All little girls love Dolls - big girls love them too. 

This Crochet Doll is easy to make using worsted weight yarn.

I used Red Heart super saver. It works up pretty fast using a F hook.

Use lots of stuffing to ensure that she retains her shape. 

The hair can be done in any style. For Bernie I used this Hair Tutorial.

Because this is for a child I embroidered the 
eyes using black yarn which I stripped in 
half to approximate the size of embroidery 
thread.

Kokeshi Mix & Match

 Kokeshi Dolls are fun to make and great to  display or for little girls play time.

To make them more interesting and entertaining I have made the parts interchangeable.

Amigurumi

Amigurumi (編みぐるみ^?, lit. crocheted stuffed toy) is the Japanese art of crocheting small stuffed animals and  creatures having human characteristics, such as Bears  and Monkeys. The word is derived from a combination of the Japanese words ami, meaning crocheted or knitted, and nuigurumi, meaning stuffed doll. Amigurumi are typically animals, but can include artistic renderings or inanimate objects endowed with anthropomorphic features, as is typical in Japanese culture.

Lil' Lizzie & Her Dragon

Amigurumi have no practical use; they are created and collected for aesthetic reasons. The pervading aesthetic of amigurumi is cuteness. To this end, typical amigurumi animals have an over-sized spherical head on a cylindrical body with undersized extremities, usually termed a chibi style outside of Japan. 

Amigurumi may be used as children's toys but are generally purchased or made solely for aesthetic purposes.
