Friends, today’s amigurumi pattern has a slightly different design. In fact, the frida kahlo design is only designed as a pillow. That’s why I have to say that it is very easy to make. Although it is a very easy amigurumi, it looks quite gorgeous. I love sharing such doll patterns lately. Because it really adds a different innovation to amigurumi patterns. Actually, when you look at the picture, it looks like an ordinary crochet pillow. He creates the image of frida with a single eyebrow construction. Also, the flowers in her hair look gorgeous.
Finished size: 15 x 27 cm when stuffed

This is an easy crochet pattern and you can easy change size by crocheting with thicker or thinner yarn and suitable hook size. If you use the same yarn as I did, pleas be aware that you might need a smaller hook size (check the tension)
You can decorate the cushion as you like using flowers, leaves, pompoms or beads.

Fasten off.
Fold the piece (use stitch markers to keep in place) and embroider the eyes and eyebrows with black yarn
Embroider the mouth with red yarn.
Keep the piece folded in half (wrong side on the outside) and close the side by sewing with yarn and needle. You do this with the wrong side facing because it will look neat when you turn to the right side after sewing. Close top of the head with yarn and needle. Stuff your cushion and close the bottom. Turn inside out to see the right piece.
Crochet some flowers and leaves and sew them on top. I made the flowers and leaves with hook size 3 and cotton yarn. You can choose to use other flower patterns of course.
