Creating a crochet Arya Stark doll brings one of Game of Thrones’ most beloved characters to life in yarn form. This comprehensive pattern guide will walk you through creating your own Arya Stark amigurumi, complete with her Winterfell outfit, distinctive Arya Stark facial features, and fur-lined cloak. Perfect for fans of the series or collectors of fantasy character dolls, this detailed pattern produces a remarkably recognizable figure from the world of Westeros.

Standing approximately 10 inches tall when completed, this amigurumi doll showcases recognizable features while remaining an achievable project for intermediate crocheters.
