Crochet Doll 2

Hello everyone, Happy new year 2014 ! this is my first post in the new year and I'm very happy to post for my first time in my blog my first free pattern, I just wanted to say that it's not easy to make and write a tutorial, that's why I want to thank everyone who shared his/her free amigurumi's pattern :) . I made a doll for a colleague of my cousin. So, you like my doll :)

You can upload the free pattern from here.

I used for this doll a crochet hook number 3.5mm and I used a pink yarn for the body and white color for the dress. I worked on spiral and I started from the bottom to the top I mean I started to work from the legs to the neck of the doll. The doll measure 32 cm.

P.S: all parts of head, neck, body and two legs are connected, so no need to cut the yarn for this, only the hands were worked separately.

At this stage we start to make the sleeves of the dress,

Choose one side to start and repeat the same thing for the second side.

We start make 5chain and close the chain to make a circle, it’s the first step, than make sts in all the sts only in the first round, than continue to make sc in each sts. Repeat this operation 7 times.

Shoes: (make two)

With grey yarn make 6 chains and don’t make a magic ring we will work at this chain.

R1: make 2 sc in the 2^nd chain, sc in the 3 sts, 4sc in the last chain, turn now and work in the other side, make sc in the 3 sts than 2 sc in the last chain (which was the first chain at the beginning), than slip stitch. (14sts)

Change yarn; with white yarn continue 7 rounds with making sc in each sts (12sts).

P.S: when change the white yarn, don’t use the front side, work form the sts at the back side only for the first round.

Glasses:

With an iron wires try to make two circles and make it as glasses, and cover it with a brown adhesive tape.
