MaterialsMaterials:
• Acrylic yarn; Grey, white, yellow (optional - orange yarn)
Crochet hook suitable for the yarn you use (I use an E)
• two pair of 9 mm. safety eyes
• embroider nose with pink yarn
• Polyester fiber fill
• Sewing needle for yarn
Finished Size: Approximately 4 1/2" tall
Your finished doll might finish in bigger or smaller than mine depending on your tension and
the yarn you use.
Abbreviation I use:
1. = Round
ch = chain
sc = single crochet
dc = double crochet
tr = treble crochet
inc = increase (2sc in same stitch)
dec = decrease (2sc worked together)
sl st = slip stitch(es)
FO = fasten off yarn, lv tail for sewing
BLO = back loop only of next stitch
* = repeat directions between * and * as many as indicated
I start crochet by making a Magic ring as in Japanese style. It makes the starting hole tight and
secure. You can start in which ever way you feel comfortable.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Work in continuous spiral round; do not join rounds unless otherwise stated.
Mark first stitch of each round, If the number goes up on the next row, increase to that number of
stitches, if thenumber goes down, decrease to that number of stitches.
