Basic Crochet Doll Pattern Crochet
Doll Pattern:
To crochet your doll you will need.
Selection of aluminum Hooks ranging in several sizes.
Smaller sizes for the body parts, (3.5mm or a 4.00mm) and a larger hook (4.00mm or 4.500mm) can be used for the clothing.
I prefer the steel hooks. I get a selection of sizes for making the right tight crocheted material needed for making body parts.
A body skin tone colour is perfect for body parts. I find a nice Aran weight yarn / worsted weight Perfect for creating The skin parts of your Doll. (I LOVED using Sugar and Cream lilys cotton Cones for dolls and Toys it is robust and keeps its shape! AND great for throwing into the washing machine – SEE Best Deals Here
I have added accessories like The light Blue dress Shown which is not only A popular color Just now to Create an ‘Elsa” from Frozen-inspired amigurumi doll.
Hair color is usually beige, browns, black or whatever color you would like the doll’s hair to be.
Make sure you order the correct size .mm of saftey Eyes I always leave this size to personal choice! as sometimes if I know its for a young child I will embroider features on the doll
RND 12: you will notice there are not enough stitches to completely finish the following
rounds.
You should be competent in single crochet, increasing and decreasing, and be able to read Amigurumi style written patterns
NOTE: If you would like to make your doll really tight material work YARN UNDER instead of yarn over, it minimizes the gaps created by a normal single crochet stitch,
I did this to stop a ridge from being created down the face of the doll usually made when you 2sctog in the same place in continuing rounds) just keep working as specified, even using an invisible decrease you will still see it
The yarn I used was Aran Weight ((I also like to use Lily and Cream Cotton)

25 grms Yarn for Hair Color,
stitch marker
