Find here an easy crochet pattern to make a doll of Queen Elizabeth II
Hi everyone! You will find on this page a Queen Elizabeth II crochet pattern. We live in England for several years, our son was born there. Like everyone else, I was really sad the hear about the death of the Queen. So I decided to make this little doll for my kids to remember her and how an amazing lady she was.
The body is made in one part, so if don’t like sewing a lot of parts, it is the perfect crochet project for you. You will only have to sew the arms and the hair!
Edit: Some people have asked for a handbag so I added one. You can find the instructions to make it, at the end of the page.
I also made a little Corgi dog! You can find the free crochet pattern here!
Don’t forget to join my Facebook group, you can ask your questions, and share your finished projects. I will regularly ask you what pattern you would like to see next (or you can even suggest something even if I am not asking!).
I hope you will enjoy and understand the pattern. If you have any questions, feel free to write to me, I will try my best to help you. And I would love to see your work!

The O Family
Throwback! For the last few weeks of our lives in the UK, we lived in a Manor. It was such a wonderful experience. I actually lived there already for several months when I was a student and went there for an internship. It was really fun to go back there as a family 7 years later! Look how tiny Tino was!
