Materials

Acrylic yarn/Milk cotton yarn (around 40% Milk Fiber, 60% Cotton)

3 ply, with colours variant according to the projects. Please feel free to substitute the color. • White • Beige • Salmon pink • Pale blue • Honey yellow

Safety eyes Accessories Poly fibre-fills Crochet Hook

Ø 6 mm, black Ø 12 mm, Wooden button 2.25 mm or 3/0, feel free to adjust with your own yarn. -

Tapestry needle Needle pins All purpose glue

These are the yarns that I used for this project, but you can always substitute them with any yarns you have or with the colours you desire. Please note that different yarn sizes will result in different doll size.

Technical Method & Tips *Tips #1: Use milk cotton yarn/acrylic yarn for skin part to get the desired ‘fluffiness’ effect, and use soft cotton yarn to do the other parts so it won’t come out hairy. *Tips #2: You have to crochet the stitches tightly with smaller number of hook suggested for the yarn to achieve smooth doll surface with small pores. *Tips #3: Fill the doll with as much poly-fibre as you possibly can, in order to make the doll firm.

How to decrease (invisible decrease) in round/circle:

Take the front loops for the next two stitches only.

Yarn over through the first two loops.

Yarn over once again through the rest.

How to do clean fasten off (invisible finish): Skip this stitch.

After you cut the yarn, insert the yarn into the second stitch after your last stitch.

Insert the yarn back into the last loop you’ve done.

Here is the result.
