Baby Doll Carrier Crochet Pattern

My girls love playing with their baby dolls. They take them everywhere we go. But who ends up carrying the dolls? Me. I decided I need to make a crochet doll carrier so they can be hands free while carrying their dolls, which also frees up moms hands!

The Crochet Doll Carrier pattern is made with worsted weight yarn. It fits a child around the age of 5 but can fit larger or smaller. You can adjust by the buttons or go up or down a hook size. 

This crochet doll carrier pattern is made starting with the band around the waist, then the base, then the shoulder straps. The waist band is attached in the back by a button. This will make it adjustable for sizing. The shoulder straps are crossed in the back like an X then attached to the band by buttons. If it’s looser on the child then the X can be stretched wider. There is a pocket on the outside that is perfect for stashing the dolls accessories.

This pattern will fit many different doll sizes. American Girl, Bitty Baby, and other baby dolls. It has fit them all perfectly.
