TIPS

• Do not join rounds, work in a continuous spiral.
• Use a stitch marker or piece of yarn to keep track of the last stitch in each round
• All stitches are worked into both loops, unless stated otherwise in the pattern.
• When filling with polyester stuffing, pull apart each large chunk into many smaller chunks. This ensures an even distribution of firmness within the amigurumi
• Booties can be made in any desired colors.

Seamless way of changing color when working in the round

Pick up the new color at the end of the round: inset your hook into the stitch, yarn over the new color and pull through the stitch and the loop on your hook to complete the stitch.

To make a magic ring

1. Loop the thread twice around your middle finger
2. Put the hook under both loops, pull the yarn under the loops and hook the thread again
3. Pull the thread through the new loop. The first crochet stitch is ready!
4. Repeat the number of times needed.
5. Pull the inner threads to tighten the ring.

Back Post Single Crochet:

Starting from the back of the work, insert hook from back to front, continue across the post, and insert hook from front to back, yarn over, draw the yarn forward, around the post, and through to the back of the work, yarn over and draw the yarn through the two loops on the hook.

V-STITCH

To complete each V-stitch, work (double crochet, chain 1, double crochet) in the same space or stitch:

Round 1: In the fourth chain from the hook work 2 double crochets, skip the next chain space, *2 double crochets in the next chain space, then skip the next chain space*, repeat * across the round.

Round 2: Work 2 double crochets in between each pair of double crochets from the row below. Insert your hook into the space between them. Repeat across the whole round.

In this pattern V-stitches are worked either: into V-stitches of the previous round (that is, into chain-1 space between 2 double crochets) or into space between two V-stitches of the previous round (that is, into space prior to next V-stitch).

INSTRUCTIONS

This design for crocheted doll hat is one of my favorites. It is pretty easy to make and to customize. I´ve divided these instructions into a few smaller sections. We start off by making a crochet hat first.

HAT

Round 1: Chain 4 stitches, *double crochet into the ring, chain 1* repeat from* 11 times. Join with slip stitch into 3rd chain of the beginning chain-4

Round 2: slip stitch into next chain-1 space, chain 4 stitches, double crochet in the same chain-1 space, V-stitch in each chain-1 space around. Join with a slip stitch into the 3rd chain of the beginning chain-4 (12 V-stitches)

Round 3: *V-stitch in each of next 2 V-stitches, V-stitche in the next space between two V-stitches of the previous round* (18 V-stitches)

All around hat crochet 4-5 Rnds in single crochets for the brim. Cut of your yarn and weave it into the edge of brim.

DAISY (2x)

I’ve created a classic daisy with a yellow center and white petals, but feel free to use any colors you prefer.

Round 1: chain 2 stitches, 6 single crochets in the 2nd stitch from hook or: 6 single crochets into a magic ring.

Change the yarn color.

Join your yarn by making a slip stitch in any stitch around.

Round 2: *chain 4 stitches, single crochet into the 2nd stitch from the hook, hdc in each of next 2 stitches, slip stitch*, repeat from* 6 times.

Fasten off.

If your petals start to curl in a little, tug at the yarn and give the petal a stretch to flatten them out. The petals should overlap a bit.

Block your crochet daisy flower.

STEM

Round 1: chain 7 stitches, 6 single crochets in the 6th stitch from the hook

Round 2: *single crochet in next stitch, increase* (9 stitches)

Round 3: single crochet in each of next 9 stitches. Cast off leaving a long tail.

PETALS

*chain 6 stitches, slip stitch in the 2nd stitch from the hook and each of next 4 stitches* 6 times, slip stitch.

Fasten off. Attach petals to the stem as shown on the pic. Block your crochet daisy flower.

I hope you have enjoyed making these little daisies.
