Gracie Doll: Easy No-Sew Crochet Rag Doll (Free Pattern, Part 1)

Maggie Johnson

23/08/2021 · Updated on: 19/10/2026

The Gracie Doll by A Crafty Concept is a sweet crochet rag doll with a pretty dress, a headband with a bow and two cute hair buns. Best of all, it is almost no-sew: the body pieces are crocheted together, and the only seam is a short one up the back after stuffing. The free pattern is on the A Crafty Concept blog, and this video is part one of a three-part series, covering the body pieces.

Tips for a Beautiful Doll

  • Choose a skin tone that matches the child the doll is for, for a personal gift.
  • Embroider the face instead of using safety eyes for babies and toddlers.
  • Stuff evenly so the body is soft but keeps its shape.
