Today, I’m excited to introduce a charming Nostalgia Grandma Crochet Doll pattern that adds a heartwarming, vintage touch to your amigurumi collection. This doll features adorable details like glasses and rope legs, making it a truly unique design. While the pattern includes instructions for the doll’s body and accessories, there is no mention of how to make the shawl, so if anyone has insights on this, I’d love to hear from you in the comments!
