Pattern Description:

My friend asked me to make five different Disney Princess amigurumi dolls for her five daughters. I had a lot of fun sketching up the design ideas and writing the patterns, and I wanted to share the patterns with other fellow yarn lovers out in Internet Land.

Something that sets this pattern apart: I wanted to give Tiana the big head and super-cute face details typical of Japanese Kawaii style (think Hello Kitty and Power Puff Girls). I also enjoyed making the leaves and flower for the water lily dress. (Lego frog sold separately.)
