Looking for a cute doll amigurumi crochet pattern? One of the most charming projects you can make is crocheting a doll Marusya. The perfect gift for anyone that loves dolls! Free crochet pattern for adorable doll which is perfect as a nice gift for someone special. It can also be used as decoration. This amigurumi design makes it a truly unique and special toy that your child will cherish for years to come.

SUPPLIES YOU NEED

Before you begin, make sure you have the following materials:

cotton yarn (e.g. Schachenmayr Catania 125m/50g) in four colors: red, beige or white, yellow and brown for the hair, crochet hook 3 mm, Polyester fiberfill or any stuffing material of your choice, 2 black beads or safety eyes, scissors, yarn needle for weaving in ends and sewing parts together. satin ribbon and lace to decorate the dress.

Using different materials and hook size to what is recommended may alter the final appearance of your amigurumi.

SKILL LEVEL

I would classify this free amigurumi crochet pattern as an advanced beginner. It is necessary to have some experience with amigurumi before creating this project.

SIZE  

The ready amigurumi is approx. 28 cm high, from bottom to top, can be made bigger or smaller depending on the yarn and hook you use.

SKILLS YOU NEED

chain, single crochet, double crochet, half double crochet, slip stitch, increase, decrease, front post double crochet

ABBREVIATIONS

Here are the abbreviations used in this pattern:

Ch =chain

St = stitch

Sc = single crochet

Sl st = slip stitch

dec = decrease stitch (two single crochets together)

inc = increase stitch (two single crochets in the same stitch)

Dc = double crochet

Hdc = half double crochet

Tc = treble crochet

Rnd = Round

* = repeat the instructions for the times indicated

(...) = at the end of every round total amount of stitches is indicated

TIPS

  • Do not join rounds, work in a continuous spiral
  • This pattern doesn´t include any specific stitch tutorials
  • 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
  • Amigurumi 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.

The doll consists of several parts which you crochet separately and then sew them together.

Stuff firmly. Bind off the first leg. Work the second leg the same way but don´t bind off!

BODY

Work shift stitch every 3-4 round.

SHIFT STITCH

Sometimes during the work of the spiral amigurumi, you need to keep the work symmetrically. As work tends to twist to the right you need to adjust the position of the marker periodically (beginning of the round).

Shift stitch is an extra stitch you work at the end of a round to make your work look symmetrical. If you notice that the marker moves right, you need to work one extra stitch at the end of the round and move marker for one stitch (now 2nd stitch of the round becomes first). This is the shift stitch.

The shift stitch is not included in the round description. To check if it’s time to work shift stitch fold your work in half and check if marker still goes straight or use a yarn that marks a straight line.

You may think this is an increase, but it isn’t. This way you don’t increase or decrease the number of stitches. The stitches count remains the same.

ASSEMBLY

Since all the elements of your doll are crocheted, it´s time to sew them together. Use a blunt sewing needle.

HAIR

Blog-Inhaltsbild für 'Kostenlose Häkelanleitung für Puppe Marusja'

WIG

Make the wig cap first. Keep testing it on your doll´s head until it´s the size you want it.

Woking into the back loop

Round 1: 12 double crochets into Magic Ring

Round 2: chain 3 stitches, double crochet in the same stitch as chain, 2 double crochets in each of next 11 stitches, slip stitch to top of chain 3 (24 stitches)

Round 3: chain 3 stitches, double crochet in the same stitch as chain, double crochet in next stitch, *2 double crochets in the next stitch, double crochet in the next stitch*, repeat from*to* 11 times, slip stitch to top of chain 3 (36 stitches)

Round 4: chain 3 stitches, double crochet in the same stitch as chain, double crochet in next stitch, *2 double crochets in the next stitch, double crochet in each of next 2 stitches*, repeat from*to* 11 times, slip stitch to top of chain 3 (48 stitches)

Cut the yarn twice as long as the length you want. Mine are approx. 60 cm. Put the hook through the loop where you want the hair, grab a strand of your yarn and pull it through. Grab the end of the yarn and pull that through the loop.

Make two braids: divide the hair into three equal parts, hold the right section in your right hand and the left section in your left hand, leaving the middle section to hang loose. Pull the right section over the middle one, then repeat this with the left section, crossing it over the middle section. Repeat this until you reach the end of the hair. Secure the end with a satin ribbon.

The doll´s hair can be made from sheep locks discreetly hand-sewn to her head. Go in circles when attaching the hair to the head. Sew the wig cap on.

Mark where you want the eyes to be placed with pins and sew them with the distance of 3-4 stitches to the head of the doll. Embroider nose using white color yarn if desired. Embroider eyebrows with black color yarn. You can also add eyelashes and mouth. Proceed a smile using red yarn.

Hide the yarn tails.
