Princess Elsa knitted doll

If you’re looking to knit a delightful gift for a little fan of Disney's beloved film ‘Frozen’, this Princess Elsa knitting pattern is perfect! This adorable Elsa doll stands at approximately 30cm (12 inches) tall and is crafted using double knit yarn, making her soft and cuddly. She’s filled with plush toy stuffing to give her a comforting feel that any child will love. While Elsa’s iconic cape is traditionally a pale blue, I decided to get creative and used the last bit of sparkly white yarn from my stash—it adds a magical touch! You can choose to create her braid either through knitting or crochet, based on your preference, which allows for personal flair in this fun project.

Materials Required

To get started on your Elsa doll, you will need the following double knit yarn quantities: 25g cream or skin tone, 25g yellow for the hair, 25g sky blue, and 25g pale blue (you can opt for a sparkly yarn if you like!). Additionally, keep oddments of pink handy for her lips to give her that charming look.

Needles & Hook

You will require one pair of straight knitting needles in 3.5mm. If you prefer crocheting her braid, have a crochet hook in size 5 or 5.5mm handy. Alternatively, you can use double-pointed needles (DPNs) in 3.5mm for knitting the braid.

Additional Materials

It’s essential to have 50g of non-flammable toy stuffing ready to fill your Elsa doll. For assembly and finishing touches, a darning needle and a sewing needle paired with cream thread will be needed.

This enchanting knitting pattern not only provides a wonderful way to use up your yarn stash but also gives you the chance to create a treasured toy that embodies the magic of ‘Frozen’. So gather your materials, follow the pattern, and get ready to delight your granddaughter with a handmade Elsa that captures the spirit of adventure and friendship! Happy knitting!
