About This Tooth Fairy Amigurumi Pattern

This Tooth Fairy pattern is a delightful project that transforms a simple tooth shape into a whimsical fairy character complete with all the enchanting details. The design features a unique construction method where two cups are joined to create the realistic tooth bumps, then worked downward into split roots for an authentic tooth appearance. What makes this pattern special is the gorgeous accessories including a multi-layered skirt with purple waistband, green body, and gold trim, delicate wings made in both gold and light green, adorable purple gloves, and a functional crossbody satchel with drawstring closure. The leaf flower embellishment adds the perfect finishing touch to this magical creation.

Standing at approximately 10 by 11 inches wide, this Tooth Fairy is the perfect size for little hands to hold and treasure.

Why You'll Love This Tooth Fairy Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it takes something as simple as a tooth and transforms it into pure magic! The moment you start joining those two cups together and watching the tooth shape emerge, you'll feel the excitement building. What really captured my heart is how the accessories come together - that gorgeous multi-colored skirt with its beautiful draping, those delicate wings that look like they could actually flutter, and the tiny functional satchel that makes this fairy ready for tooth-collecting adventures. I also appreciate how the pattern uses sustainable materials and encourages creativity, letting you choose your own color combinations and make it uniquely yours. The construction techniques are clever and satisfying to work through, especially creating the split roots and the unique wing-making method with the magic circle. This isn't just a crochet project - it's creating a childhood memory keeper that families will treasure forever.

Switch Things Up

I love experimenting with different color combinations for this Tooth Fairy! Instead of the traditional white tooth, I've tried making pastel rainbow teeth with each root a different color - absolutely magical for a whimsical take on the classic fairy. The skirt is another area where creativity really shines; I've made versions with sparkly yarn for the gold trim, striped patterns instead of solid colors, and even added tiny crochet flowers around the waistband for extra detail.

For the wings, I sometimes work them in gradient colors using yarn that naturally transitions from one shade to another, creating an ethereal ombre effect that looks like fairy dust caught in the light. I've also experimented with adding tiny seed beads to the wing edges for a touch of sparkle that catches children's eyes. The crossbody satchel can be personalized too - I've made versions with button closures, embroidered designs, or even tiny pockets sewn onto the outside.

Another fun variation I enjoy is changing the facial expression by adjusting the eye placement and embroidering different mouth shapes. A slight smile makes her sweet and gentle, while a bigger grin creates a more playful character. I've even added tiny wire inside the arms to make them poseable, allowing the fairy to wave or hold things. The leaf flower can be replaced with actual crocheted flowers, felt shapes, or small bows depending on the look you're going for. Don't be afraid to mix and match techniques from other patterns to truly make this Tooth Fairy your own unique creation!

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

โœ— Not stuffing the tooth firmly enough before closing the roots, which can result in a floppy appearance that doesn't hold its shape well over time โœ— Forgetting to insert safety eyes between rounds 24 and 25 before stuffing completely, making it impossible to position them correctly without unstuffing the piece โœ— Skipping the slip stitch round when color changing on the arms, which creates a bumpy transition instead of the clean color separation shown in photos โœ— Not placing stitch markers when splitting for roots, leading to uneven root sizes and misaligned gaps that affect the tooth's symmetry and overall appearance

โ€” Assembly Instructions:

Wings Assembly:

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

Leaf Flower Assembly:

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

  • Arrange the large wings with small wings beneath, overlapping by one row at an angle, then sew together using the tail end of small wing
  • Sew assembled wings to the back of the tooth over rounds 10-15, positioning them centered on the back of the tooth body
  • Arrange 5 large leaves in a flower formation and sew together using long tail from one leaf, creating circular flower shape
  • Place 3 small red leaves on top of the large leaf flower and sew them on to create the center of the flower
  • Sew the completed leaf flower onto the tooth at round 16, centered on one of the tooth cups for front decoration
  • Sew the additional 2 large leaves over the middle of the wings on the back to cover any visible stitches from wing assembly
  • Attach crossbody satchel by draping the drawstring strap over the tooth fairy's shoulder and across the body for authentic look

Important Notes

  • ๐Ÿ’กUse stitch markers to keep track of rounds, especially when splitting for the roots and joining the two cups together
  • ๐Ÿ’กStuff the tooth very firmly to maintain shape and structure, but not so tight that stitches stretch and show holes
  • ๐Ÿ’กWhen color changing on the arms, follow the slip stitch round technique carefully to achieve clean transitions between colors
  • ๐Ÿ’กPin all wings and leaf pieces in place before final sewing to ensure correct positioning and symmetry on the tooth fairy
  • ๐Ÿ’กUse eco-friendly stuffing alternatives like yarn scraps or old fabric strips instead of poly-fill for sustainable crafting
  • ๐Ÿ’กKeep magic circle open when making wings - do not close until all rows are complete as you'll be slip stitching into it

FAQs

Can I use different yarn weights for this pattern?

Yes! While the pattern uses Aran weight for the tooth and DK weight for accessories, you can use any yarn weight you prefer. Just remember to adjust your hook size accordingly - use a hook one size smaller than recommended for the yarn to keep stitches tight. Your finished tooth fairy will be larger or smaller depending on your yarn choice.

How do I join the two cups together for the tooth shape?

Hold the two cups side by side with the openings aligned. Using your working yarn from the second cup, make 6 slip stitches through Round 13 of both pieces simultaneously, effectively joining them together. Continue crocheting in the round immediately after the last slip stitch without fastening off.

What's the best way to attach the skirt to the tooth?

After completing the skirt, slip it onto the tooth from the bottom up. Using a very long strand of purple yarn and a tapestry needle, weave from front to back through the first purple row of the skirt several times, catching the tooth body underneath. This secures the skirt in place while allowing it to maintain its natural drape.

Can I make this pattern without the wings and accessories?

Absolutely! The tooth itself is a complete amigurumi that can stand alone. You can customize your tooth fairy by choosing which accessories to add - make just the skirt, or add wings without the satchel, or create your own unique accessories. The modular design allows for complete creative freedom.

How do I create the split roots without making them uneven?

Use stitch markers to carefully mark where each root begins and where the 12-stitch gap (6 front, 6 back) will be closed. Count your stitches carefully to ensure each root has exactly 24 stitches before you slip stitch the gap closed. Take your time with this step for symmetrical results.
