Why You'll Love This Tooth Fairy Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this Tooth Fairy pattern because it brings such joy and magic to a special childhood moment! The combination of practical construction techniques with creative details makes every step rewarding. I'm particularly fond of how the wings are created using that clever back loop only method, giving them beautiful texture and dimension. The leaf flower crown adds such a whimsical touch, and I love that you can customize the colors to match your own style. Creating something that will become a treasured keepsake for a child makes this project incredibly meaningful and fulfilling.

Switch Things Up

I love how versatile this Tooth Fairy pattern can be with just a few creative tweaks! Instead of the traditional white tooth, I've experimented with pastel colors like soft pink or baby blue to create a dreamy, ethereal look that children absolutely adore.

The wings are another area where I let my creativity soar – try using variegated yarn for a rainbow effect, or add sparkly metallic thread alongside your regular yarn for wings that truly shimmer and catch the light.

For the leaf flower crown, I sometimes create an entirely floral version using small crocheted roses or daisies instead of leaves, which gives the Tooth Fairy a more garden-inspired appearance perfect for spring celebrations.

The skirt offers wonderful opportunities for personalization too – I've made versions with different color combinations to match bedroom decor, or even added tiny beads or sequins between the ruffles for extra sparkle.

You could also modify the crossbody satchel into a small tooth-shaped pouch by working in white yarn and adding a drawstring closure, making it even more thematic for collecting baby teeth.

Consider embroidering a small initial or name on the skirt or adding a tiny fabric tag to make it extra special and personalized for the child receiving it.

I've also experimented with facial expressions – instead of sweet eyelashes, try closed eyes with long lashes for a sleeping fairy, or add rosy cheeks with a touch of embroidery for extra character.

The arms can be posed in different positions before sewing if you add a small piece of wire inside, allowing the Tooth Fairy to hold things or wave at different angles.

For advanced crocheters, adding a small wand made from a decorated toothpick wrapped in yarn and topped with a tiny star adds that extra magical touch that makes this keepsake truly one-of-a-kind.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Not stuffing the tooth body firmly enough before closing the roots, which can cause the amigurumi to lose its shape over time and become floppy ✗ Forgetting to place stitch markers when splitting for the roots, making it difficult to keep track of where each section begins and ends ✗ Closing the magic circle too early when making the wings, which prevents you from completing the slip stitches needed for each row ✗ Not leaving long enough tails on pieces that need to be sewn together, making assembly frustrating and potentially leaving visible knots on the finished piece

— Assemble and Attach Wings:

Infos:

Arrange the wings with the large on top and the small beneath. Lay the small wings over top the large wings so that they have one row overlapping and are angled as shown in the photo. Using the tail end of the small wing, sew the wings together (the stitches that show will be covered over with a leaf). Sew wings to the back of the tooth over rounds 10-15 using the photos as a guide for placement

— Leaves - Large (Make 7):

Info:

Make in your choice of color. Begin by chaining 12

Row 1:

sc in 2nd ch from hk, hdc in next ch, dc in next 2 ch, tr in next 3 ch, dc in next 2 ch, hdc in next ch, sc in next ch. Continue onto the other side of the chain, and repeat the pattern for the 2nd side of the leaf

Info:

Sl st to next st and fasten off. Leave a long tail on ONE of the leaves for sewing them all together. On the other leaves, weave in ends

— Leaves - Small (Make 3):

Info:

Use the red yarn. Begin by chaining 8

Row 1:

sc in 2nd ch from hk, hdc in next ch, dc in next ch, tr in next ch, dc in next ch, hdc in next ch, sc in next ch. Continue onto the other side of the chain, and repeat the pattern for the 2nd side of the leaf

Info:

Sl st to next st and fasten off. Leave a long tail on ONE of the leaves for sewing them to the leaf flower. On the other leaves, weave in ends

— Leaf Flower Assembly:

Infos:

Arrange 5 of the large leaves in a flower formation. Using the long tail from one of the leaves, sew them together. Arrange the 3 small leaves on top of the large flower and sew them on. Sew the leaf flower onto the tooth at round 16, centered on the tooth cup. Sew the additional 2 large flowers over the middle of the wings on the back to cover any stitches showing on the wings

Assembly Instructions

  • Join the two tooth cups by holding them side by side and making 6 slip stitches through Round 13 of both pieces
  • Insert safety eyes between rounds 24 and 25, spaced 20 stitches apart, then embroider eyelashes with black thread
  • Split the tooth body for roots by slip stitching 6 stitches from front to 6 from back, creating a gap between two 24-stitch roots
  • Attach the colorful ruffled skirt by weaving purple yarn through the first purple row and securing it to the tooth body
  • Layer small green wings over large gold wings with one row overlapping, sew together, then attach to tooth back over rounds 10-15
  • Arrange 5 large leaves in a flower formation, sew together, add 3 small red leaves on top, then attach to tooth at round 16
  • Stuff and sew purple-gloved arms to body sides over round 25, spaced about 7 stitches from each eye

Important Notes

  • 💡Use organic cotton yarn and crochet tightly with a hook one size smaller than recommended to prevent stuffing from showing through stitches
  • 💡Place stitch markers liberally throughout the pattern, especially when splitting for roots and during wing construction to track your position
  • 💡Do not close the magic circle when making wings until all rows are complete, as you'll need to slip stitch into it after each row
  • 💡Stuff the tooth body more than you think necessary to create a firm structure that will maintain its shape through play and handling
  • 💡Leave long tails on pieces that require assembly rather than weaving them in immediately to make sewing easier and more secure
  • 💡When changing colors on the arms from purple to white, use the back loop only technique and stuff the tied ends inside for a clean finish

FAQs

What size will my finished Tooth Fairy be?

Following this pattern with the recommended yarn and hook sizes, your Tooth Fairy will measure approximately 10 inches tall by 11 inches wide. You can make it larger by using bulkier yarn and a bigger hook, or smaller with finer yarn and a smaller hook.

Can I use acrylic yarn instead of organic cotton?

Yes! While the pattern recommends organic cotton for its durability and washability, you can absolutely use acrylic yarn or any other fiber you prefer. Just maintain tight tension and use a hook one size smaller than the yarn recommends to prevent stuffing from showing through.

How do I prevent the wings from looking messy where they connect?

The pattern cleverly addresses this by having you sew decorative leaves over the connection point where the small and large wings are joined together. This covers any visible stitches and adds a beautiful design element to the back of the Tooth Fairy.

Is this pattern suitable for beginners?

This is an intermediate level pattern that requires familiarity with continuous rounds, color changes, back loop only stitches, and basic assembly techniques. Beginners with some amigurumi experience can certainly tackle it, but it may be challenging for absolute first-timers.

How do I split the tooth body to create the two roots?

The pattern provides detailed instructions with photos showing how to use stitch markers to divide your stitches, then slip stitch 6 front stitches to 6 back stitches to close the gap between roots. Each root will have 24 stitches and is worked separately in continuous rounds.
