Basic Crochet Doll Pattern Crochet
Doll Pattern:
To crochet your doll you will need.
Selection of aluminum Hooks ranging in several sizes.
Smaller sizes for the body parts, (3.5mm or a 4.00mm)
and a larger hook (4.00mm or 4.500mm) can be used for the clothing.
I prefer the steel hooks. I get a selection of sizes for making the right tight
crocheted material
needed for making body parts.
The cream color yarn is perfect for body parts.
I find a nice Aran weight Cream yarn Perfect for
creating The skin parts of your Doll.
The light Blue Shown is not only A popular color Just now to Create an 'Elsa" from
Frozen-inspired amigurumi doll.
But I love the soft sheen and feel of this yarn.
Remember to buy your hair color too
Hair color is usually beige or brown or whatever color you would like the
doll's hair to be.
Make sure you order the correct size of Eyes needed, I always use the safety eyes.
To start
Magic circle and work stitches into it
(OR Chain 2, work number of single crochets into the 1st chain. (creates a circle)
RND 12: you will notice there are not enough stitches to completely finish the following
rounds.
You should be competent in single crochet, increasing and decreasing,
and be able to read Amigurumi style patterns
NOTE: If you would like to make your doll really tight material work YARN UNDER
instead of yarn over,
it minimizes the gaps created by a normal single crochet stitch,
I did this to stop a ridge from being created down the face of the doll usually made
when you 2sctog
in the same place in continuing rounds) just keep working as specified
The yarn I used was Aran Weight ((I also like to use Lily and Cream Cotton)
Hook – 4.00mm
Additional Supplies – Saftey Eyes or Black yarn to make eyes,
25 grms Yarn for Hair Color, stitch marker
