ARMS
Use white yarn:
6 sc in a MR (6)
2-12. 6 sc (11 rounds)
Change yarn to beige color, cut white yarn
13-20. 6 sc (8 rounds)
Cut the thread leaving a tail for sewing.
Use red thread to wrap the color change between rounds 12 and 13.
I wrap the arm with the thread for 3-4 times. Secure it.
You can use any glue to secure the thread so that it holds tight.
Do not stuff the arms, or you can put a small ball of filler at the very beginning so that the wire does not come out when making arms.
Right leg
Use red yarn to ch 4, start in the 2nd chain from the hook:
2 sc, 2 sc in the last stitch, on the other side of the chain – 2 inc (8)
7 sc, inc (9)
3-4. 9 sc (2 rounds)
The heel is worked in rows:
4 sc, tch, turn
4 sc, tch, turn
4 sc, continue working in rounds
5 sc on the leg, 4 sc on the heel (9)
Place a marker of the beginning of the round.
Cut two pieces of wire about 16 cm long, bend 1 end to make a loop
secure it with 2 turns of plaster.
Slightly bend the wire, making the heel and insert it into the foot.
Roll a small piece of filler and put it into the heel. Gradually filling, continue crocheting the leg.
(I wrap the plaster around the wire until I get the thickness of the leg, but you can just stuff the doll with filler, shaping the knees, hips and shoulders).
6-17. 9 sc (12 rounds) change yarn to beige color
18-20. 9 sc (3 rounds) make the knee:
3 sc, (1 sc, 1 HDC) in the same stitch, (1 HDC, 1 sc) in the same stitch, 4 sc (11)
Increases should be in the place of the knee
11 sc (here you can put a small piece of filler to add volume)
3 sc, 2 dec, 2 sc, inc, 1 sc (10) make decreases right above the increases.
24-39. 10 sc (16 rounds)
The last round should end in the middle of the inner thigh.
Fasten off.
Left leg + body + head
Ch 4, start in the 2nd chain from the hook:
2 sc, 2 sc in the last stitch, on the other side of the chain – 2 inc (8)
7 sc, inc (9)
3-4. 9 sc (2 rounds)
The heel is worked in rows:
4 sc, tch, turn
4 sc, tch, turn
4 sc, continue working in rounds
5 sc on the leg, 4 sc on the heel (9) Place a marker of the beginning of the round.
6-17. 9 sc (12 rounds)
ATTENTION! Before changing the yarn to skin color, put the two legs together with toes towards you. It is necessary that the round with color change on the left leg coincides with the same round on the right leg. If these rounds do not coincide, add or undo rounds.
Change the yarn to beige color.
18-20. 9 sc (3 rounds) make the knee:
3 sc, (1 sc, 1 HDC) in the same stitch, (1 HDC, 1 sc) in the same stitch, 4 sc (11)
11 sc ( stuff just a little bit)
3 sc, 2 dec, 2 sc, inc, 1 sc (10) make decreases right above the increases.
24-39. 10 sc (16 rounds)
Crochet a few more sc on the left leg so that the round ends in the middle of the inner thigh. Visually, the left leg will be 1 round higher.
Before joining the legs together, you need to wrap a white thread around the line of color change between the boots and skin.
Hide the yarn ends, cut them off. Then, just as we did on the arms, carefully, use any glue to secure the thread so that it holds fast.
Continue crocheting the body:
Ch 5 from the left leg and attach the chain to the right leg. Place a marker of the beginning of the round.
10 sc on the right leg, 5 sc on the chain, 10 sc on the left leg, 5 sc on the chain (30)
41-42. 10 sc, 5 HDC, 15 sc (30)

Fasten off. Cut the yarn leaving a long tail for embroidering the nose.
Now we are going to crochet the skirt. We will put it on through the legs.
SKIRT
Chain the number of stitches equal to the waist circumference, without tightening the loops much. I chained 28 stitches. Join in the round.
tch, 28 sc, sl st (here and in all the following rounds end crocheting with a slip stitch in the first stitch of a round).
ch 3, 27 DC, sl st
ch 3, DC inc in the same stitch where we made ch stitches. There
should be 3 stitches in total
Next, make a front post double crochet increase (3 fpDC behind one stitch), inserting the hook BEHIND sc of the previous round.
And again 3 DC in the same stitch
The first round of folds is the most difficult, the main thing is to understand how to make them)))
Then work a front post double crochet: 3 DC behind the post of the next stitch
A fold is already done – the base for the folds on the skirt
As a result, there should be 14 folds
ch 3, 3 DC, (DC inc, 5 DC) х 13, DC inc, 1 DC, sl st
Change yarn to white color.
PLEASE NOTE that the remaining rounds are worked in half double crochet!
Work back loops only (BLO).
ch 3, 1 HDC, (HDC inc, 6 HDC) х 13, HDC inc, 4 HDC, sl st
Change yarn to blue color. Work BLO.
ch 3, 6 HDC, (HDC inc, 7 HDC) х 13, HDC inc, sl st
Hide all the yarn ends and cut them off.
You can shape the folds with your fingers. Carefully put the skirt on through the legs to the 46th round of the body, where you left the contrasting thread.
Sew on the skirt along the round. To keep the skirt from sticking out, press it with an elastic band or thread, also shaping folds with tweezers
EARS + NOSE
Use skin color
3 DC in a MR. Tighten the ring, fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing.
Count 16 rounds down from the last round of the head and sew the ears between rounds 73-75, placing them symmetrically on the sides with pins.
The distance between the ears is 25 sc!
Please note that the yarn end left on each ear for sewing is located differently. On the right ear – from below, on the left ear – from above. In my opinion, this way the ears look the same )
Take the yarn end left from crocheting the body, thread it through a needle and embroider the nose between 12th and 14th sc 1 round below the ears, that is, make several stitches on the 13th sc.
Eye shaping and decoration
Mark the eyes with pins:
Two rounds above the nose. The distance between the eyes is 7 sc (picture 1)
Take a thread for tightening. Insert the needle from behind into the middle of the lower part of the head, take it out at point A, insert at point B (the distance is one sc).
Then take the needle out at point C and insert it at point D skipping 1 sc.
Take the needle out in the same place behind the head where you inserted the needle for the first time.
Tighten the thread on the back of the head, slightly deepening the eyes with your fingers. Make a knot, hide the thread.
Glue the eyes in the deepening
Embroider upper eyelids with black thread
If desired, embroider the whites of the eyes
As an option for the eyes, you can draw them or
embroider. It all depends on your desire and skill. I
know that many people do not like eyes shaping ))
(Picture 3.1 shows an example of the eyes
decoration with acrylic paint by Karina from my
testing group)
BELT
Use white yarn to chain the number of stitches equal to the waist circumference (I chained 26)
Try it on your doll.
Attach the belt, starting from the back, and carefully glue it l
Arms (decoration)
Cut the wire about 9-10 cm long. Skip 3 rounds down from the neck and make a through hole with an awl from one shoulder to the other. Insert the wire, put the left arm on it.
Sew the arm to the body with the thread remaining on the arm.
Try on the right arm; if there is too much wire, cut it off with pliers and sew on the right arm similarly to the left one.
Then bend the arms pressing them to the body.
Sailor collar
Use blue yarn to ch 13, start in the second chain from the hook:
1-8. 12 sc, tch, turn (8 rounds)
Next, crochet the right part of the collar:
1-3. 4 sc, tch, turn (3 rounds)
dec, 2 sc, tch, turn
3 sc, tch, turn
dec, 1 sc, tch, turn
2 sc, tch, turn
dec
Fasten off.
The left part of the collar:
Count 4 sc from the left edge of the collar, attach the yarn and crochet:
1-3. 4 sc, tch, turn (3 rounds)
2 sc, dec, tch, turn
3 sc, tch, turn
1 sc, dec, tch, turn
2 sc, tch, turn
dec
Crochet a row along the edge up to the 8th row of the right side of the collar
Secure this thread, do not cut it off, we are going to use it for sewing the collar to the body. Hide and cut all the remaining yarn ends.
Use white yarn to make a border around the collar in chain stitch. Thus, you will get a chain along the edge of the crochet collar. Make the stitches loosely enough so that the collar does not tighten too much.
Fasten off.
Bow
Use red yarn for the first piece
Ch 2. Start in the second chain from the hook:
1 sc, tch, turn
inc, tch, turn
2 sc, tch, turn
2 inc, tch, turn
5-9. 4 sc, tch, turn (5 rounds)

2 inc, tch, turn
13-17. 4 sc, tch, turn (5 rounds)
2 dec, tch, turn
2 sc, tch, turn
dec, tch, turn
Next, crochet sc along the edge of the bow,
cut the yarn, leave the yarn end about 25-30
cm long
BOW (the 2nd piece)
Use red yarn to ch 6, leaving a tail about 6-7 cm long, start in the second
chain from the hook: 5 sc, ch 7, in the 2nd chain work 5 sc
Cut the yarn, leaving a yarn end about 6-7 cm long
ASSEMBLING THE BOW
Sew the ends of the first piece together
Then sew it in the middle, forming a seam. Do not fasten off.
Take out the yarn ends of the second piece from both sides of the seam of the first piece.
Make a double knot, without tightening much, hide the yarn ends.
Then carefully wrap both pieces with the remaining long thread.
Secure the thread from behind, do not cut it off.
Use yellow yarn to embroider a circle or an oval in the middle of the bow. Or you can do as I did: use glue to glue a thread in a circle. Also you can use yellow yarn to crochet 7 sc in a MR, close the ring and bring the yellow yarn end to the wrong side of the bow, then glue the circle to the bow. Cut off the yellow thread.
Sew the sailor collar, applying it as in the picture. Hide all the yarn ends and cut them off.
Sew the bow on. Insert a needle between the corners of the collar and take it from the back. For reliability, I glue the bow with super glue, since it is very difficult to sew such a small piece.
Fasten off and weave in the yarn end.
HAIR
Use yellow yarn:
8 sc in magic ring (8)
8 inc (16)
(1 sc, inc) х 8 (24)
(2 sc, inc) х 8 (32)
(3 sc, inc) х 8 (40)
40 sc, sl st (picture)
Crochet strands of hair. The first strand is on the back of the head. If your
strand is much shorter or longer than mine, then add or reduce the
number of chain stitches.
Do not crochet too tightly.
TIP: work according to the circumference and height of your doll’s head,
because everyone has different gauge.
1-4 strand: ch 15, start in the second chain from the hook – 1 sl st, 1 sc, 12 HDC.
Skip 1 sc and join the strand to the next stitch with a slip stitch.
5 strand: ch 12, in the second chain – 1 sl st, 1 sc, 9 HDC.
6 strand: ch 11, in the second chain – 1 sl st, 1 sc, 8 HDC
7 strand: ch 10, in the second chain – 1 sl st, 1 sc, 7 HDC
8 strand: ch 9, in the second chain – 1 sl st, 1 sc, 6 HDC
9 strand: ch 8, in the second chain – 1 sl st, 1 sc, 5 HDC
10 strand: ch 8, in the second chain – 1 sl st, 1 sc, 5 HDC
11 strand: ch 9, in the second chain – 1 sl st, 1 sc, 6 HDC
12 strand: ch 10, in the second chain – 1 sl st, 1 sc, 7 HDC
13 strand: ch 11, in the second chain – 1 sl st, 1 sc, 8 HDC
14 strand: ch 12, in the second chain – 1 sl st, 1 sc, 9 HDC.
15-19 strand: ch 15, in the second chain from the hook work 1 sl st, 1 sc, 12
HDC (see picture below)
CURLY STRANDS (2 pcs)
Leave the yarn end about 12 cm long and chain as many stitches as needed to make a chain 15 cm long. Adjust the length at your discretion.
Crochet in the opposite direction from the hook:
((1 sc, inc) х 12, and then work sc to the end of the row) х 3
You will have 3 curls
Pull out the thread, leaving the end for sewing
HAIR BUNS (2 pcs)
Use yellow yarn:
6 sc in magic ring (6)
inc х 6 (12)
(1 sc, inc) х 6 (18)
4-5. 18 sc (2 rounds)
(1 sc, dec) х 6 (12)
6 dec (6)
Stuff tightly, close the holes,
leave a long tail: we are going to use it for sewing the buns to the head.
ACCESSORIES FOR THE BUNS (2 pcs)
Use red yarn:
6 sc in magic ring (6)
inc х 6 (12)
Fasten off and weave in the yarn end.
Hair decoration
Try on the hair, fixing the strands with pins, as shown in the picture. The shortest strands No 9 and 10 should be in the middle of the forehead 6 rounds above the eyes (try on your doll, it all depends on the height of the forehead). These strands are a reference point for the location of the remaining strands, fix them, focusing on the picture and your taste. I advise you to fix the strands with glue, or you can sew them on.
Use yellow yarn to embroider the decoration on the forehead and use red yarn to carefully make a likeness of a scarlet crystal. Fasten off all the yarn ends.
Sew the buns 3-4 rounds below the center of the hair. It should be approximately like in the picture. This is not an easy step, but a very important one
I advise you to glue the hair accessories to the buns. It is faster and more reliable
Sew the curls with two remaining threads, see the picture.
Tinting
Use a thin brush to apply gently light brown pastel to the upper eyelids, add some pastel to the nose, ears and knees as well
Tint the cheeks with pink pastel.
Use white acrylic paint and a toothpick to add highlights to the eyes
