Bella Amigurumi Tutorial 💛 | 1era Parte Vestido | Subs Eng/Spa/Port

Summary of the tutorial (amigurumi crochet)

The video walks through the first part of a free amigurumi crochet pattern for a Disney princess-inspired little doll, focusing on:

• Knit the shoes/sandals (mustard yellow)
• Knit the upper dress (skin/brown, sun-yellow and mustard-yellow colorwork)
• Add a lower dress/layer in white
• Optionally attach a decorative wavy trim made from chain stitches

The finished piece mentioned measures about 18 cm tall. The pattern is divided into three parts, and this is Part 1 (dress + shoes).

Artistic techniques & concepts shown

• Amigurumi construction in the round, using:

  • Magic chain / starting chain
  • Single crochet increases and decreases
  • Back-loop-only (BLO) and front-loop-only (FLO) shaping for texture and garment shaping
  • Slip stitches to join rounds cleanly

• Color transitions (multi-shade dress layering):

  • Changing yarn colors mid-work with slip knots/chains
  • Building garment layers by joining ends and continuing in rounds

• Shaping via skipped stitches to form sleeve openings (dress armholes)

• Skirt “flare” effects using repeated increase sequences

• Decorative edge “undulations/waves” using a patterned mix of:

  • Single crochet, half double crochet, double crochet
  • Chain spaces
  • Double-crochet increases

• Layering / lining:

  • Adding a white lower layer using different stitch heights (shifting from half double to double crochet)

• Embellishment via chain-strap sewing:

  • Making a long chain (60 chains) and sewing it onto the dress in a wavy arrangement
  • Using pins to hold placement, then sewing with a wool needle
  • Attaching with small amounts of stitching at the top and bottom of each wave

Shoe/sandal construction (mustard yellow) — technique overview

• Start with 6 chain stitches
• Work into the chains using single crochet increases
• Continue rounds until reaching targeted circle sizes (subtitles mention totals like 12 then 20 single crochets)
• Use back-loop-only (BLO) crocheting in one round for structure/texture
• Add a shaping round using decreases to bring the count down (subtitles mention finishing at 14 single crochets)
• Finish with a slip stitch, cut yarn, and hide the tail
• Repeat the same process for the second shoe

---

Dress construction — technique overview

1. Upper dress (sun yellow + mustard yellow)

   • Make 26 chains, then crochet half double crochet across with increase patterning
   • Change to mustard yellow mid-row/transition
   • Work in BLO while:
     • Crocheting across the round
     • Skipping 9 stitches to form the arm/sleeve opening
   • Continue rounds with no shaping (straight round counts) while turning/joining each round

2. Join ends

   • Fold and join the fabric with slip stitches
   • Continue in rounds to shape the dress body

3. Skirt flare (increases)

   • Use repeated sequences of increases while crocheting in FLO to shape the skirt widening
   • Continue through additional rounds with progressive increase placement

4. Edge with waves (undulations)

   • Round with a repeated pattern combining:
     • Single crochet, half double crochet, double crochet
     • Chain(s) in the middle
     • Double crochet increases
   • Repeat until completing 8 wave/petal sections
   • Cut yarn to finish the yellow dress

5. Lower layer (“lantern” style) in white

   • Attach white by crocheting into the back strands of a previous round (round 11 interior strands)
   • Then:
     • Round 12: 48 double crochets
     • Round 13: a repeating pattern of double crochet + chain spaces
   • Join, cut yarn, hide ends

Optional decorative detail (wavy trim)

• Make 60 chains in mustard yellow
• Position the chain on the dress using pins to form waves
• Sew the chain in place:
  • Subtitles describe sewing with two stitches per wave (one at the bottom and one at the top)
• This trim is explicitly labeled optional
