Some Helpful Tips Crochet the doll with tight stitches. Rounds are worked with continuous rounds technique. Do not join rounds with slip stitch or turn unless
it is stated otherwise. otherwise. Use a stitch marker or a piece of yarn to mark the ending of the round. It’s highly recommended you to read through the pattern completely before beginning to crochet.
When working in rows, work through the entire stitch, not back loop or front loop only unless specified otherwise.
After a chain, always start working into the second loop from hook if it is not indicated otherwise. X shape and V shape single crochet stitch: You might notice that my single crochet stitches are slightly different from yours. I used yarn under single crochet (X-shaped single crochet) stitch technique
I used yarn under single crochet (X-shaped stitch) for the body, arms, legs, head, and when crochet in spiral
rounds. I used yarn over single crochet (V-shaped stitch) when working in rows, and hair strands.
Hair strands: all my doll’s hair strands are made from a foundation chain. When you look from the front you will see each chain has a V shape with a left loop and a right loop, look behind, you will see a back ridge. Working in the back ridge gives a neater finish to projects. If I want the hair strands straighter, I will crochet into the back ridge only. In usual, all hair strands of my dolls are crocheted into the left loops.

CROCHET TERMINOLOGY Chain Stitch The chain stitch is the foundation of most crochet projects. The foundation chain is a series of chain stitches in which you work the first row of stitches. To make a chain stitch, you start with a slip knot k not (or loop) on the hook. Yarn over and pull the t he yarn through the loop on your hook (first chain stitch made). Don’t pull the stitches too tight, otherwise they will be difficult to work in. When counting chain stitches, do not count slip k not, nor the loop on your hook. Only count the number of ‘v’s
Back Ridge of Foundation Chain The back ridge ( also called back bumps or back bars) is found on wrong side of the foundation chain. It consists of single loops behind the ‘v‘v-loops’ loops’.. To work in the back ridge, one inserts the hook from front to back through the back ridge loop to pull up the yarn. Working in the Back Ridge gives a neater finish to projects.
Crocheting Around a Foundation Chain When you want to start an oval piece rather than a round piece, I use this a lot for making feet and bags. Start with indicated amount of stitches in a chain. chain. Single crochet into the second chain from the hook ( if making an oval oval this will usually also be an increase stitch) and in each chain along. The last chain is where you need to put your increases ( this will w ill be indicated on the pattern) as you maket he increases you y ou will naturally turn to t o work up the other side of the foundation foundati on chain ( this will be the other loop of the foundation chain).
Front and Back Loops Every stitch what looks like ‘v’s on the top. There are two loops lo ops that make up the ‘v’. The front loop is the th e closest to you and back loop is the loop furhest from you. Generally, we work in both loops- under both the front and back loops. Working in either the front or back loops only, creates a decorative ridge. Work all stitches under both loops unless otherwise instructed.
Increase Inc: work 2 single crochet stitches in the same stitch indicated. inc3: work 3 single crochet stitches in same stitch indicated. inc4: work 4 single crochet stitches in same stitch indicated. dc- inc: work 2 double crochet stitch in the same stitch indicated. dc-inc3: work 3 double crochet stitch in the same stitch indicated. Half-Double Crochet (hdc) Starting with a loop on your hook, yarn over hook before inserting hook in stitch and draw up a loop ( three loops on hook). Yarn over and pull yarn through two loops loops (two loops remains on hook). Yarn over and pull pull yarn through all three loops (first hdc made)
Double crochet (dc) Starting with a loop on your hook, yarn over hook before inserting hook in stitch and draw up a loop (three loops on hook). Yarn over and pull yarn through two loops ( two loops remains on hook). Yarn over and pull yarn through remaining two loops on hook. (first dc made).
Treble (or triple) crochet (tr) Starting with a loop on your hook, yarn over hook twice before inserting hook in stitch and draw up a loop (four loops on hook). Yarn over and pull yarn through thr ough two loops (three loops remain on hook). Again, make a yarn y arn over and pull yarn through th rough two loops loo ps (two loops remain on hook). Once more, yarn over and pull through remaining two loops (first tr made).
Invisible single crochet decrease (inv- dec)

Insert the hook into the front loops of the next two stitches (three loops on hook). Yarn over and draw through first two loops on hook (two loops remain on hook) . Yarn over and draw through both loops on hook (dec made). Use the invisible decrease when working in the continuous spiral rounds. When you see ‘dec’ in the pattern work invisible decrease.
Single crochet 3 together ( sc3tog ) Insert the hook under the front loop only of the next three stitches. This gives you four loops on the hook. Wrap the yarn over the hook and draw it through the first three loops on your hook. Wrap the yarn over the hook again and pull through the remaining two loops on the hook. You have now completed one sc3tog. Indeed that means ‘ triple invisible decrease’
Changing colors/ Attaching new yarn With the current color, work the last stitch before the color change up t o the last step of the stitch. Using the t he new color, yarn over hook, pull new color through remaining loops on hook.
Close the opening Working in the stitches of the last round, insert the yarn needle from back to front through the front loop of each stitch around. Gently pull the yarn to tighten the hole. Once the opening is closed, secure the yarn. Insert the needle back through the center cen ter of the ring and taking care, bring it out at an inconspicuous place on the piece. Work a few weaving stitches before inserting the needle back through the stuffed piece and out at another point. Cut the yarn.
Fitting safety eyes Choose and mark the positions for the eyes (or nose) on the front of the face. Insert the shank of the eye through the yarn from front side to back side. (the eye is on the front side, the shank sticks out at the back.) Attach the locking washer onto the shank and push down firmly to lock it tightly. You can use a safety eye insertion tool for doing this.
Invisible join After the last stitch stitch is worked (don’t slip stitch in next stitch), cut the yarn leaving a tail and pull the tail through the last stitch. Using the tail and a yarn needle, skip the next stitch and insert the needle under both loops of following stitch. Then insert the needle into the back loop of the last stitch made (the same stitch where the tail came through) and also through the horizontal loop of the stitch (for stability). Gently tug the yarn so that it looks like a stitch and matches the others. Secure it and weave in the tail.
Fasten off After the last stitch is worked, work a slip stitch in the next stitch. Cut the yarn, leaving a tail. With the tail, yarn over and pull the tail through the stitch.
Gauge Gauge is how tight or loose you hold your yarn when crocheting. This is very important when crocheting garment so that they will fit a particular size but not as important when making toys. Your tension, hook size and yarn weight will all affect the size of the finished product.

Keep working in series until you have 20 strands of hair. Once you are done, cut the yarn leaving a long tail to sew later.
Hair Assembly Place the hair inside out on the top of the head. Leave 6 hair strands on the front, pin the rest of hair strands behind the ears. First, sew the circle piece on the top of the head, head, do not pull tight otherwise it will look bad.
After sewing the circle part, it is time to sew the hair strands. Pin 14 strands of hair behind the ears. Take the needle out of the place where you pinned the hair. Just sew the 14 strands behind the ears on the head where you have pinned. Do not pull tight otherwise it will look ugly.
Take 3 hair strands (from 6 hair strands you have left before) on the right front of the head. Bend the 3 hair strands, create a bang and sew these three together behind the ear. Do the same for the lleft eft side.
