The Story Behind the Stitches

Sailor Mercury may not have been my favorite Sailor Scout, but there's a lot to admire about Ami. She's intelligent, kind, soft-spoken, and incredibly dedicated to her studies. She's the sort of character I imagine many parents would love their kids to be like! I also appreciate that she brings something different to the team with her love of technology and all her gadgets. Out of all the Scouts, she's definitely the one I'd want around when we need a good strategy or a little tech support.

When it came to crocheting this Sailor Mercury amigurumi doll, I knew her short blue hair was going to be one of the trickier parts. Long amigurumi hair is relatively easy to style, but how do you crochet short hair without making a doll look like a little boy? Thankfully, I think I managed to nail it! Her blue hair has just the right amount of volume and shape to closely mimic her anime hairstyle while still looking like a cute little crochet doll.

I also love how her shorter hairstyle lets you see all the details of her Sailor uniform, both from the front and the back. I made sure not to overlook those little details, and I especially love the blue yarn I used for her outfit. Blue is one of those colors that seems to photograph beautifully, which is something I definitely can't say about every color of yarn!

In fact, photographing this doll made me appreciate the difference even more. Red yarn can be surprisingly difficult to photograph and edit without the color looking completely different from real life. My Sailor Mars amigurumi doll looks so much better in person than she does in photos! Thankfully, Sailor Mercury's beautiful blue uniform was much more cooperative in front of the camera.
