Crocheting a little doll—we’re doing it more and more often! Crochet Saar for your (grand)daughter, the girl next door, the boy next door, or… just keep her at home for yourself. We’ll show you how to crochet a sweet little girl using an Amigurumi Crochet Kit from Katia.
Katia Amigurumi is a handy Crochet Kit containing 10 adorable little balls of yarn in 10 different colors. Of course, you can use them to make whatever you like, but Monique from Yarnplaza.com came up with this cute little doll. Thanks to the sturdiness of the Crochet Cotton, they can also take a beating.

Saar is a real little girl. She has curly hair, wears a cute little dress, and is super cute. She carries her little basket with her everywhere she goes.
