Free Wednesday Addams Amigurumi Pattern With 2 Braided Pigtails

If you love a little dark-and-sweet style, this crocheted doll in a black dress and long braided pigtails is going to steal your heart. She is small, full of personality, and much easier to make than she looks.

Read the short overview below to see if this project is right for you. The PDF pattern is waiting at the very bottom of the page, after a short countdown.

Meet the doll

This amigurumi doll has a round, softly stuffed head, big expressive eyes, a neat fringe of black hair and two long braids tied with tiny bows. She wears a classic black dress, a crisp white collar, gray stockings and little chunky boots. Make one for yourself, or crochet a pair like in the photo and let them sit side by side on a shelf.

About the dress

The dress is the star of this pattern. It is made in simple rounds with basic increases, so the skirt flares out gently around the doll. A small white collar is worked separately and sewn on at the neckline, and a line of tiny gray stitches down the front gives the look of buttons. Because the outfit is built from simple shapes, you only need the basics: single crochet, increases, decreases and a bit of sewing.

What you will need

• Soft cotton or acrylic yarn in skin tone, black, white and gray
• A small crochet hook (around 2 mm, the PDF lists the exact size)
• Polyester fiberfill for stuffing
• Safety eyes or embroidery thread for the face
• A tapestry needle, stitch markers and scissors

The pattern at a glance

1. Crochet the head and body in the round, then stuff them firmly.
2. Add the black fringe and make the two long braids.
3. Work the dress and the white collar.
4. Make the arms, legs and boots.
5. Assemble everything and embroider the face details.

Skill level: advanced beginner to intermediate. If you already know the magic ring, increases, decreases and how to sew pieces together, you are ready for this doll.

Tips for a neat result

• Keep your tension tight so the stuffing does not show through the stitches.
• Use stitch markers on every round. It saves a lot of counting.
• Pin the arms, legs and hair in place before you sew, and compare both sides.
• Place the eyes with pins first and take a photo to check that the face looks balanced.
