----- About the Pattern -----
Star Baby is a Waldorf-inspired crochet doll that is low-sew and quick to work up. It features a cute baby in a star shaped outfit, including a cone hat. The arms and legs of the doll are soft and unstuffed, making it a cuddly snuggler especially if made using plush yarn. Customize it in many ways, such as crocheting hair (instructions included in pattern), adding a rattle or crinkle sheet in the body as a baby toy, embroidering facial features like a nose or smile, and adding blush to the cheeks.
This doll makes a sweet baby shower gift or gift for an infant or newborn, as long as the eyes are embroidered to avoid choking hazard. The Star Baby also works well as a birthday gift or Christmas stocking stuffer for young children. You can make it for craft fairs and markets too.
The PDF pattern includes lots of photo references to guide you through the doll-making process.
