Crochet Pin Cushion Doll Pattern PDF | Amigurumi Grandma with Bun Pincushion | 28 cm Doll | Gift for Sewists

🧵 Grandma Pin Cushion Doll — Crochet Pattern

Approx. 28 cm / 11 in standing · A doll and a working pin cushion in one · Written step-by-step instructions · Intermediate

Look at your pin cushion.

It is probably a tomato. Or a squashed stuffed cube that came free with something, going grey at the edges, shoved behind the machine. It is the tool you reach for more often than any other in the room, and it is almost always the ugliest thing on the table.

This one is a small woman with grey hair and round glasses, and her bun is where the pins go. She stands next to your machine, she holds your pins, and she is the reason the corner of the room looks like it belongs to someone. That is the whole idea, and it is why this pattern gets made as a gift more often than for the maker herself. ✨

She is worked in amigurumi, in the round, with a floral apron over her dress and a pocket on the front.

🧶 What's Included

✔️ Step-by-step written instructions for the whole doll ✔️ Instructions for the pin cushion bun ✔️ Digital PDF, instant download

📏 Finished Size

Approximately 28 cm / 11 in standing, using the recommended yarn and hook.

📊 Skill Level: Intermediate

Standard amigurumi worked in continuous rounds — nothing unusual in the stitches. What makes it intermediate is the number of separate pieces and the assembly: the head, the body, the arms, the legs, the hair, the bun, the dress and the apron all have to be made and then put together so she stands straight and looks back at you properly. If you have finished an amigurumi before, you have everything you need.

🛠️ What You'll Need

• Yarn in the colours shown — skin, grey for the hair, a colour for the dress, a small floral print or contrast for the apron, brown for the shoes
• A crochet hook to suit your yarn
• Firm stuffing for the bun, plus regular toy stuffing for the body
• Eyes, or black yarn to embroider them
• Yarn needle, stitch markers, scissors

💛 Perfect For

The corner of a sewing room · A gift for someone who sews — and who already has enough fabric · Craft room shelves · A present for a grandmother, from a grandchild who crochets

This is a sewing room object, not a toy. In use she holds sharp dressmaker pins. Keep her out of reach of children, and do not give her to a child as a doll.
