Kiki amigurumi crochet pattern was inspired by animated film Kiki’s Delivery Service. This fantasy animated film was written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki, adapted from the 1985 novel by Eiko Kadono. It was animated by Studio Ghibli and released in Japan on 1989. Wow, it’s been a long time, I haven’t been born yet. Even so, Kiki’s Delivery Service is still fun to watch until now.

Haven’t watched the film yet? That’s okay, you can still make Kiki amigurumi from the free crochet pattern on Crochethea blog. Add Kiki crochet doll to your collection or crochet it as a gift for fans of the film Kiki’s Delivery Service.

You can read Kiki the young witch crochet pattern for FREE in this post. Kiki crochet pattern is also available to purchase on my Blog Shop, Etsy, Ravelry, and Ko-fi Shop.

I hope you like the pattern. Happy crocheting!

Assembling

1. Put hair onto the head, shorter strands as bangs (S1-4 and S14-16). Pin the FLO strands with a gap between the strands, then close the gaps with BLO strands. If you are pleased with the position, add adhesive to the hair strands one by one. You just need a bit of adhesive for the bangs, near the starting base.
2. Sew the arms in Round 12 of the body.
3. Glue headband onto the hair.
4. Sew the ribbon to the headband.
5. Put on the bag from the bottom of the body.
