Crocheted toys are cute and cute - very pleasant to the touch, so kids like them. They can be made in just a couple of evenings, and knitted from leftover yarn, which many needlewomen have.
Use acrylic yarn in different colors to knit the doll. In addition to her, you will need;
- hook No. 2-2, 5;
- synthetic winterizer or holofiber;
- threads;
- a needle;
- scissors.
The main elements in crocheting a doll are air loops, double crochet posts, connecting posts.
Doll torso
To make the doll's body, choose beige, light pink or cream or sandy threads. Tie a chain of six chain stitches and join them in a ring. Next, knit the piece in a circle. In the first row, work 6 single crochets. In the second, double their number, that is, you need to knit 2 columns in each loop of the previous row. Next, increase the number of loops in each next row to the seventh circle. In the 3rd, knit 18 single crochets, in the 4th 24, in the 5th - 30, in the 6th - 30, in the 7th 36. Distribute the increments evenly.
From the 8th to the 10th rows, knit straight without increases or decreases, 36 loops in each. From the 11th, start decreasing the loops in every third row. In the 11th, subtract 6 stitches and knit 30, in the 12th and 13th, also knit 30 single crochets. In the 14th - 24, in the 15th - 17th knit 24 stitches without decreases, in the 18th - 18 stitches, in the 19th - 21 - 18 loops in each row without decreases, in the 22nd - 15 For rows 23 and 24, knit 15 stitches in each stitch of the previous row.
Doll head
Now start knitting the head, continuing to knit the piece of the torso of the toy. In the 25th row, add 3 columns and knit 18 loops. In the 26th - 24. Then add the columns in each subsequent row exponentially up to 32 rows, in which you should get 60 single crochet. In the 33rd - 40th rows, knit 60 stitches straight in each.
Starting from the 41st, make the decrease in each row in the opposite order. In the last 49th row, 6 columns should remain. Finish knitting the body and head of the doll, cut the thread, and hide its tip inside the part.
Stuff your head and body with filler. The hole for this is small, so help yourself with a crochet or pencil.
Doll's arms and legs
For hands, cast on a chain of 6 air loops and close them in a ring. Knit the following rows with single crochet elongated piece. To do this, increase the number of loops to 30 up to the 5th row, and then knit straight to the 29th row and finish knitting. Tie the other hand in the same way. Fill parts lightly with filler.
Start knitting the legs. First, knit the doll's shoes. For them, use yarn to match the suit. Cast on 6 air loops, connect them in a ring. Then knit an elongated piece, increasing the number of loops to the 60th row (there should be about 36 of them). Then gradually reduce the number of loops in a row to 22 rows. 6 columns will remain in it. Tie the second shoe in the same way. Stuff the parts with filler.
Continue knitting the doll's legs. On the back of the shoe, cast on 16 columns in a circle and knit in a spiral without increasing or decreasing by the desired amount. Stuff your legs with filler.
Assembling the toy
Use the threads to make the doll's hair. Cut off pieces of yarn 7-10 cm long, depending on the desired hair length. Place a bun in the center of the head part, distribute the hair and sew it by hand with a needle-forward stitch. Braid or ponytails.
Sew on 2 small eye buttons, embroider nose and mouth. Draw the cheeks with a pencil. Sew the arms and legs to the torso. Tie an outfit for the doll and slide it over the toy.
