I've put a lot of time into making this amigurumi doll and I thought it's sad to put so much effort into something just to put it in the closet after creating it.. So I got the idea to share my patterns so that other people can enjoy my creations as much as I did and I hope this will be an easy and fun way for you to make this by yourself! First of all I want to ask you NOT to (re)sellthis pattern. It's fully owned by YarnYard but you are allowed to remake this amigurumi doll and sell the final product on your local craft fair, bazaar, etc. You are NOT allowed to sell the pattern OR the final product on the internet. Thank you!
