Lil'Pear/P'tite Orangina

Lil’ Pear is one of the six crocheted dolls in the Lil’ Ladies collection. This PDF pattern includes clear, detailed instructions to make the doll, her hairstyle, her bathrobe, and her towel. If you already own the pattern for another doll from the same collection, you can swap their hairstyles.

Lil’ Pear is the Lil’ Lady who is always dancing. Not to impress, not to be seen. She dances because her body loves to move. There’s rhythm in her hips, motion in her thighs, fluidity in her waist. When she walks, it feels as if she’s following a melody no one else can hear yet. She doesn’t try to please, and yet she radiates. She has found a perfect balance between lightness and grounding.

The Lil’ Ladies collection was created to celebrate women’s bodies, all women’s bodies. With just a few stitches, I wanted to represent as many body shapes as possible.
