The spotlight is on the Women of Disney (at least a few of them)! Get knitting and crochet patterns, yarns inspired by the characters, and some awesome fandom gear.
Women of Disney-Inspired Knitting and Crochet Patterns, Yarn, and Fandom Gear
Welcome to the second-ever Fandom Spotlight here at Fandom Knitting & Crochet! The first one, our Harry Potter Fandom Spotlight, was so much fun to put together, and I got such wonderful feedback I decided to continue the series. So, today, I bring you the Women of Disney.
So, why not Disney Princesses? Well, I thought about that, and some of them aren’t really princesses. So, I got to thinking, how about Disney Royals? Well, that didn’t give the right “girl power” vibe, so I went with Women of Disney.
What you’ll find here is a collection of hand-picked knitting patterns, crochet patterns, yarn, and fandom gear that I personally love and find oh-so-fitting for celebrating the Women of Disney in the proper crafty fandom fashion. While there are some “literal” interpretations of the characters these patterns and yarns inspire, I (as always) have also included a nice sampling of more loosely-related selections. 🙂
I hope you enjoy!

Royalty-worthy Yarn: Yarns Fit for a Princess
If you are looking for some perfectly princess-worthy yarn to create one of the projects above (or one of your own), I suggest using a yarn that comes in a variety of Women of Disney-type colors.
My recommendation for a general yarn is Swish DK from Knit Picks. It is superwash, squishy, lovely, and affordable. The best part is all of the colors! I have curated some of them in Disney-inspired combos in the photo above. Here are the exact colors I pulled together:
- For Elsa: Wonderland Heather
- For Rapunzel: Sugar Plum & Carnation
- For Merida: Rainforest Heather
- For Snow: Dusk, Serrano, and Honey
- For Tiana: Green Tea Heather
- For Belle: Honey
- For Anna: Bordeaux, Blak & Dusk
You can get all of these colors from Knit Picks right here.
