This detailed master class of crocheting toys will teach you how to tie a doll with your own hands.
Crochet toys, such as dolls, canserve as souvenirs or keychains. We will knit a small crochet doll with our own hands, which fits in the palm of your hand. To knit a miniature doll we will need: Yarn (white, blue, sand); Hook; Filler; Paints; Needle; Wool for felting. In the text we will use the following abbreviations: Air loop - V / p. Single crochet - St / without / H. Double crochet - St / s / H. For such knitting you need to take thin yarn. Iris or floss will also look great. These threads are very thin and therefore the doll will turn out even smaller. Let's start knitting slippers for the doll. They will be blue. We make four V / p. Next we knit three St / without / H in a loop. Next we knit St / without / H, then in the last five St / without / H. So we turned the knitting. We knit St/s/N. And in the next loop two St/s/N. Now we knit one circular row. We knit further three St/s/N, two decreases in a row and one more St/s/N.Now we will attach the blue thread and knit the tights. We knit St/without/N, St/without/N, two decreases in a row and two more St/without/N. We do six rows and knit the second leg.Let's connect them. Make two ch and join to the second leg.We knit two rows.And again we change the thread to blue. We knit a row. The next row for the far part of the loop. And then we will knit the hem for the front part. We knit two rows. In two new rows we will make four decreases at random.Let's change the thread to sand-colored thread.Knit two sl sts in each loop. Then knit a row. Now knit two sl sts in the fourth loops. And knit three rows. Then knit the fourth and third loops together. In another row, the third and second loops together. And in the last row, knit each loop with the next one together.We attach the blue thread to the front walls where we have a row connected for the back walls. We make two St/ss/N in a loop.Knit a row. Now we will knit a frill. In a loop we make three St/s/N, and in another one St/s/N. And so on throughout the row.We knit the arms with sand yarn and in the second loop of the chain of two VP we make six St/s/N. Then we knit seven rows in a circle.We sew the arms to the doll's body.We shape the face and sew on the hair. We will make the hair from wool intended for felting. Simply sew a piece of wool to the head and straighten it. And so that the seam and threads are not visible, you can simply throw a strand from one side to the other and, accordingly, do the same on the other side. Then the seam will be under the hair. You can also felt the hair to the head if you have a special needle. We make ponytails for the doll, tying them with a thread of the same color as the dress. Using acrylic paint, draw dotted eyes and a mouth. It is best to draw with a needle, since it will not be very convenient to do this with a brush, because the doll is very tiny and, besides, you will have to draw on knitted fabric. This is how small a crochet doll turns out!
