This mini witch is a variation of my Baby Bean (free amigurumi pattern):
The instructions for Whimsy include:
- Body base color changes, using the free Baby Bean Doll Base pattern
- Dress and collar
- Witch hat
- Hair cap
- Hair tutorial for attaching braids (available in PDF pattern file only)
- Broomstick (available in PDF pattern file only)
This pattern can easily be adapted to create a wizard, similar to Hermoine from Harry Potter, or a school girl with that cute collar and uniform! Either way, this little witchie gives off a "spooky cute" Halloween feel and is perfect for those who love the kawaii pastel goth aesthetic!
