Crochet pattern The Doll

According to this crochet pattern you can crochet the doll  depending on the yarn, you have chosen.

The size of the ready doll is 26 cm, if using the pointed materials.

He pattern does not contain basic course of crocheting – you should already have the basic knowledge.

Abbreviations: USA crochet terms

When crocheting the dolls I always use a smaller size hook than is suggested on the
yarn band. For example, if it is recommended to use a 3 mm hook I use a 1,5 mm hook. It keeps
the stitches tight and prevents the stuffing from showing through holes in the fabric.
The dolly will also be more accurate.

1. All details are crocheted in spiral rounds. This means that the round will NOT be
finished with a slst.
2. Use a stitch marker. A small thread (other colour then your working yarn) helps you
counting the rounds. Just place it at the start of a round on top of your working thread.

Hands

*While joining the fifth finger (thumb), it might appear in the center – just make one or two sc to the place you need it to be. Don’t forget to count in those sc afterwards.

We start with the fingers. To make your fingers thinner, you can either divide your yarn into two parts or take a smaller crochet hook.

Legs

Begin crocheting from the foot.

Ch 6, beginning with the 2nd chain from the hook:

1. 4 sc, 3 sc in one stitch, 4 sc, 3 sc in one stitch = 14

2- 3. 14 sc 

4. 5 sc, dec, 5 sc, 1 dec = 12

5-11.= 12 sc

Stuff

12. 6 dec = 6

fasten off, close opening and hide the end of the thread.

Now we crochet onto the foot to make the leg. Make a circle on the foot of 15 sc.

See picture for reference.

Variant 2: Further crochet the upper part of the leg. Crochet 15 ch and close in a circle. At the end sew the upper part of the leg to the foot.

1-17.15 sc  stuff

18. 7 dec, 1 sc = 8

 fasten off, close opening and hide the end of the thread.

After that we need to sew legs and arms.

Sew the arms between 33 and 34 rows.

Sew the legs  between 48 and 49 rows.

Eyes

Proceed with needle sculpting the head. Begin with the tightening of the eye sockets between the 14-15 rounds. Use the two markers you placed in round 14. Make the tightenings between the 14th and 15th round.

Insert a needle near the chin from the bottom (for the right eye from the right side, for the left eye – from the left side) and take it out at marker A, step 2 stitches to the left, insert a needle in the same row and return back to the bottom. Make the tightening for the second eye socket the same way, insert a needle from the bottom and take it out at marker B, step 2 stitches to the right and take it out back at the bottom. Tighten the thread, make the knots, hide the ends.

Nose and mouth

Our nose is in row 14-15, you can mark it with pins as in the picture. Insert the needle in row 15 (in the place of the first pin) and take it out in row 20, count two sc left or right (so it is right under the second pin), insert the needle and take it out at the second pin. Tighten the cheeks, tie the knot and hide all loose ends.

 Now we can glue or sew the nose.

Nose: Chain 2. Make 1 puff stitch (out of 4 dc) into the second chain from the hook. Tighten the nose (joining two yarn ends) to make it the right shape.

Glue eyes:

This variant is not suitable for toddlers. Caution!

Put some glue in the eye-pit, put felt above it, then add some more glue on the felt. Then add a little more glue and put an iris on it. If anything goes wrong – you can always move the parts (that’s why we need the glue, which doesn’t dry fast). After that, we can glue the eyelashes! Our eyes will be dry in 12 hours. Remember, felt must be saturated with glue for the best result.

For toddlers, please use the eyes to sew on.

Find the markers of the eyes. Insert a needle near the opening for the

neck (for the right eye from the right side, for the left eye from the left side) and take

it out near the first marker, take the eye, insert a needle in a hole for sewing and

return back to the neck. Make the same with the second eye. Tighten the threads,

the cheeks should become more visible. Make knots, hide the threads.

Ears

Chain 3 sc, make 6 hdc in the 3rd chain from the hook. Leave a tail for sewing. Sew the ears at eye level.
