Little Rebel

Meet Little Rebel: a jester-style amigurumi doll with a bold black hood, little pink details, expressive crocheted eyes, and a playful pointed collar.

Make a petite cotton-blend doll or a larger, cuddly plush version. The same pattern gives you several yarn-and-size options.

✨ What makes this project special

• A cleverly joined base. The legs, body, and head are worked together; the arms can be crocheted in as you go or sewn on later.
• Details worth making. Crochet the fitted hood, pink emblem, ears, decorative ear-tip balls, six-point collar, tail, and expressive eyes.
• Guidance for the fiddly parts. Step photos and dedicated videos help with selected construction and assembly stages.
• Choose your finished size. The pattern includes four yarn-and-hook examples, from cotton blend to chunky plush.

What’s inside your pattern

Skills & construction

This pattern is best suited to crocheters already comfortable with working in rounds, increases and decreases, color changes, joining pieces, and simple embroidery.

The hood is made separately and fitted to the head. Some details are sewn on, so this is not a no-sew pattern.

Pattern languages & format

English PDF — US crochet terminology.

Russian PDF — a separate Russian-language version.

Both are versions of the same Little Rebel pattern, not two different dolls.
