Stormtrooper Doll (Free Amigurumi Crochet Pattern)


Dear fellow amigurumi enthusiasts,

I'm super excited to share with you my latest design, the Stormtrooper Inspired Doll!  He's my cute, pocket-sized yarn version of the iconic Star Wars character.  I'd say he is more adorable than menacing as a tiny, little amigurumi though!  


This pattern is quick and easy to crochet and makes a great toy gift for kids and children alike.  This versatile pattern can also serve as a male or female human body base to crochet into other custom characters.

I also made an Anakin Skywalker that goes along with this Stormtrooper doll.  If you'd like to make this duo, check out his pattern page too!
Want to save this pattern?  Pin it to your Amigurumi or Crochet board!
