The Nutcracker is a classic Christmas figure, and today I’m thrilled to introduce you to a new design that brings this festive toy to life. Designed by Woolly.Dooly, this Nutcracker Christmas Doll is part of a series of detailed and colorful amigurumi patterns she’s shared this year.
Amigurumi Nutcracker Christmas Doll
Though the doll features a lot of intricate details and color changes, the pattern is clear and easy to follow, making it a manageable project for crocheters. Since Woolly.Dooly’s toys are typically small in size, the process might take a little more time and effort, but the end result will be worth it!
For the best results, it’s recommended to use a 3mm crochet hook and 6mm safety eyes for this toy.
