Granny Hexagon Doll Crochet Pattern

If you love the timeless charm of granny crochet and enjoy creating handmade toys with personality, the Granny Hexagon Doll Crochet Pattern is a project you’ll truly enjoy. This adorable doll combines classic granny hexagon motifs with amigurumi-style shaping, resulting in a soft, cuddly design that’s both nostalgic and modern.

What makes this pattern especially unique is its clever construction. Instead of building the body in the traditional round, the doll starts with granny hexagons that are folded and joined to form the torso and arms. This technique not only adds visual interest but also makes the project feel fresh and exciting, even for experienced crocheters who have worked countless granny squares before.

The Granny Hexagon Doll is a wonderful example of how versatile granny motifs can be. By using hexagons instead of squares, the pattern creates natural angles and shaping that fit beautifully into a doll form. The result is a playful silhouette with a cozy, handmade look that’s perfect for babies, children, or as a decorative keepsake.
