3.5 mm hook  3.0 mm hook  2.5 mm hook  2.0 mm hook  Tapestry needle  Black safety eyes  Stuffing  (poly  fiber  fill  is  the  best,  otherwise  some  cotton  wool will do)  Dark brown yarn size 3-3.5  Light peach yarn size 3-3.5  Yellow-gold yarn size 3-3.5  Yellow yarn size 2.5  White yarn size 2  Red yarn size 3-3.5 (for flower only)  Green yarn size 3-3.5 (for flower only) 

  Note:  you  can  vary  the  size  of  the  yarn,  but  you  should  keep the  proportions.  The thread you use for the clothes (especially for the  top  part)  should  be  thinner  than  the  one  you  use  for  the  body!  This  is  because  the  doll  is  very  small,  so  her  arms  and  body  are  very  thin:  cover  it  up  with  a  shirt  made  with  thick  yarn would be  like dressing you up with a t-shirt as thick as a winter coat :)  When  I  had  only  size  3  yarn,  I  used  to split the thread to make it  thinner!

light peach

Body  Work  the  whole  body  (legs,  torso  and  arms)  using light peach  yarn size 3-3.5 and a 2.0 hook. 

Legs  R1: 6 sc in magic ring (6)  R2-R13: 6 sc (6)  For  the  first  leg:  make  a  slip  stitch,  pull  out  the  yarn  and  cut  it  (leave a long tail in case some sewing should be needed).  Instead,  after  making  the  second  leg,  don’t  cut  the  yarn;  you’ll  keep on working from there to join the legs. 

Torso  First, we join the legs  R14:  3  sc  in  2nd  leg,  chain  2,  6  sc  in  1st  leg, 2 sc in back side of  the chain, 3 sc in 2nd leg (16)  R15: 16 sc (16)  Now we’re enlarging to create the booty!  R16: 2 sc, (inc, 2 sc) x 2, 8 sc (18)  R17: 18 sc (18)  R18: 18 sc (18)  R19: 2 sc, (dec, 2 sc) x 2, 8 sc (16)  Booty finished :)  R20: 16 sc (16)  R21: (6 sc, dec) x 2 (14)  R22: (5 sc, dec) x 2 (12)  R23: (4 sc, dec) x2 (10)  R24: (3 sc, dec) x 2 (8)  R25: (2 sc, dec) x 2 (6) 

Neck  Now 2 rounds for the neck  R26-R27: 6 sc (6)  Neck done, now we start the head 

Head  R28: 6 inc (12)  R29: 12 inc (24)  R30: (1 sc, inc) x 12 (36) 

@chiacrafts

At  this  point,  your  stitch  marker  is  probably  somewhere  behind  Make enough stitches the  doll’s back (use the booty as a reference to understand which  is  the  front  and  which  is  the  back).  You  must  now  make enough  to move the stitch marker stitches  to  position  the  stitch  marker  right  on  the  left  side  of  the  from here to there ! doll before moving on with the next round.   Why this? Because we’re about to give an asymmetrical shape to  the  head  to  make  the  face…  if  you  don't  place  the  stitch  marker  Stitch marker Back correctly,  you  risk  to  end  up  with  a  doll  facing left, right, or, even  worse, with the head completely twisted around!  Left side If  you’re  already  close  to  the  left  side,  you  can  simply  continue  with R31. Otherwise, you must make this additional stitches.  If  you’re  indeed  on  the  back,  this  operation  should  not  increase  the  number  of  rounds  on  the  face  of  the  doll.  However,  if  you  , Front were  somewhere  just  past  the  left  shoulder,  you  are  indeed  adding  one  round  to the face. It won’t impact a lot the look of the  doll,  you  just  have  to  keep  in  mind  to  place  the  eyes  one  round  ! ← Booty higher than indicated :)  [I've  made  6  additional  sc  and  placed  the  stitch  marker  on  the  last stitch before moving on with the next round]  : R31: (1 sc, inc) x 9, 18 sc (45)  R32-R33: 45 sc (45)  R34: (2 sc, dec) x 7, 17 sc (38)  R35-R40: 38 sc (38)  R41: (17 sc, dec) x 2 (36)  Stop  and  place  the  safety  eyes  between  round  35  and round 36  8  sc  apart.  Feel  free  to  modify  the  position  to  where  you  feel  it  suits  at  best  the  personality  of  your  doll.  I  personally  think  that  placing the eyes very low and quite apart gives a sweeter look :)  If  you’d  like  to  make  an  embroidery  for  the  eyes,  that’s  the  best  moment to do it!  R42: (4 sc, dec) x 6 (30)  R43: (3 sc, dec) x 6 (24)  Keep stuffing while you close the head!  R44: (2 sc, dec) x 6 (18)  R45: (1 sc, dec) x 6 (12)  R46: 6 dec (6)  Cut  the  yarn  leaving  a  long  tail  for  sewing.  Using  a  tapestry  needle,  pass  the  tail  through  all  the  loops  of  the  last  round,  and  pull. Make a knot and hide the yarn inside the doll’s body.

R7: Inner loops only 5 sc (5)  R8-R10: 5 sc (5)  Then make a slip stitch, turn, make 2 sc, one more slip stitch.  This  should  give  you  the  curvature  for  the  shoulders.  You  can  also decide to stop at R10.  Make 2.  At  the  end  of  each  arm,  pull  out the yarn and leave a long tail for  sewing.  Sew  the  arms  so  that  the  upper  part corresponds to round 23 of  the body (right below the neck).   

Dress  Dress base (corset + skirt)  Work with yellow yarn size 2.5 and 2.5 hook  We’ll  start in rows and join the two extremities to work in rounds  later on.  Row1: chain 11 (10)  Row2: 10 sc (10)  Row3: (4 sc, inc) x 2 (12)  Row4: (5 sc, inc) x 2 (14)  Row5: (6 sc, inc) x 2 (16)  Now we start working on the petticoat.  Switch to white yarn size 2 and 2.0 hook  Row6: work in front loops only 16 sc (16)  Row7:(1 sc, inc) x 8 (24)  Join  the  extremities  (the  loops  left  at  round  6  should  be  at  the  extern, it’s important!) and start working in rounds  R8: (1 sc, inc) x 12 (36)  R9: 36 sc (36)  R10: (17 sc, inc) x 2 (38)  R11: 38 sc (38)  R12: (18 sc, inc) x 2 (40)  R13: 40 sc (40)  R14: (19 sc, inc) x 2 (42)  R15: 42 sc (42)  R16: (20 sc, inc) x 2 (44)  R17: 44 sc (44)  R18: inc, 42 sc, inc (46)  R19: inc, 44 sc, inc (48)  R20: sc, inc, 44 sc, inc, sc (50)  R21: 2 sc, inc, 44 sc, inc, 2 sc (52)  R22: 3 sc, inc, 44 sc, inc, 3 sc (54)  @chiacrafts

Hourglass hope R23: 13 sc, inc, 26 sc, inc, 13 sc (56)  R24: 14 sc, inc, 26 sc, inc, 14 sc (58)  R25: (chain 2, sc) x 58  End with a slip stitch and fasten off. Hide the tail inside the skirt.  We’re now moving on with the skirt.  Start again from Row6  Work with yellow yarn size 2.5 and 2.5 hook  Row6: work in front loops only 16 sc (16)  Then  move on following the same instruction as for the petticoat,  but stopping at round 22.  The  aim  is  that  the  petticoat  should  be  visible,  so  the  skirt  must  be a bit shorter.  When  joining  to  work  in  loops  after  row  7, I joined it and started  to  work  in  the  opposite  direction  compared  to  what  I  did  for  the  petticoat  (petticoat  +  skirt  looks  a  bit  like  an  hourglass,  as  in  the  picture).  I  did  this  because  it  was  easier  for  working,  but  it  also  gave  a  nice  texture  effect:  working  this  way,  you’ll  reverse  the  skirt  at  the  end, meaning that the texture visible from the outside  will actually be the inside one.   Once  the  skirt  is ready, end with a slip stitch and fasten off. With  the tail left, sew a bit the skirt to the petticoat.   

Shoulders straps  Work with yellow yarn size 2.5 and 2.0 hook  Each strap is  Chain 13, 12 sc  you can adjust the length.   

Dress details (“draps”)  Work with gold yarn size 3-3.5 and 3.0 hook  Each piece is  Chain 10, 9 slip stitches  Leave  a  long  tail  both  at  the  beginning  and  at  the  end.  Make  3  knots between the tails. Make as many as you need (I made 7).  Then  sew  them  on  the  dress.  I  used  the  tails  to  do  so  (see  graphical instructions).    next one Use the tail of die drop to sew it to the .

Dress the doll  Put  the  dress  on  and  sew  it  on  the  back.  Then  sew the shoulder  straps  to  the  dress  on  the  front  and  on  the  back.  Make  a  decor  with gold yarn if you wish. 

Hair  Loose part Work with dark brown yarn size 3-3.5 and 3.5 hook You  need  to  first  prepare  a  chain  (main  chain)  long  16.  You’re  going to crochet one single hair in each loop of this chain.  Each hair is (chain 21, 20 sc) repeat x 15.  You  can  add  more  hairs  if  needed  (you  must  check  for  them  to  cover  the  back  of  the  head  circumference from 3-4 stitches from  each eye).  Once  you’re  done,  pass  a  thread  in  all  the  loops  of  the  main  chain, pull and make a knot.

Sew  the  center  of  the  wig  on  top  of  the  head,  then  sew all hairs  except  the  4  on  the  front  to the head at round 42. Sew the same  hairs  also  at  round  36.  Bend  the  remaining  4  hairs  to  create  the  wavy part on the front, and sew them to the back.  Sew  the  chignon  on  top  of  the  head,  so  that  it  covers  the  loose  ends of the 4 hairs on the front. You should also stuff it a bit :)  To  make  the  headband,  simply  make  a  chain  long  enough  with  the  yellow  yarn,  and  tie  it  around  the  chignon  (it’s  also  great  to  cover up imperfections!).      . want ⑥ . .
