Amigurumi Princess Ornament- Free Pattern

This cute ornament emerged from a fairy-tale swap i participated on recently. One of my partner's favorite fairy tale characters was Snow White(the Disney princess version...i guess there is such a thing!). This swap being so close to the holiday season, well that's how the whole 'ornament' idea came about. :)
It's quite a simple pattern that can be altered to your needs/taste. I used a 2" styrofoam ball for this one but you can stuff it with fiberfill(etc) as well. I used ribbon and yarn for the bows but again, it's up to you how you choose to style the hair(or not). My ornaments have their face embroidered on(the cheeks and lips) except for the eyes, which i used two tiny dots of fabric paint for. 
I chose not to explain every little thing in the tutorial since learning the real basics(ie what is an 'increase'?) can be easily found/learned via other tutorials and so forth.  Enjoy!




Face
  1. 6 sc in magic circle - 6
  2. Inc all stitches - 12
  3. (1sc, 1 increase)* (repeat for the whole row) - 18
  4. (2sc, 1 increase)* - 24
  5. (3sc, 1 increase)* - 30
  6. Sc in all stitches - 30
  7. Sc in all stitches - 30

Hair
  1. 6 sc in magic circle - 6
  2. Inc all stitches - 12
  3. (1sc, 1 increase)* (repeat for the whole row) - 18
  4. (2sc, 1 increase)* - 24
  5. (3sc, 1 increase)* - 30
  6. Sc in all stitches - 30
  7. 3 sc, (2hdc, 4dc, 2hdc, 2sc)x2, 7 sc - 30
Finish off, leave a long tail for sewing to face

Sewing Together 
Fit the hair and face over the styrofoam ball so the ends overlap. Position the hair to your liking and sew to the face. Add a bow and embroider the face. Done!
*I show some bonus footage at the end of the video on how i add the loop on the ornament.
