???? Step-by-Step Amigurumi Pattern 1. Head (Skin Color) Insert the safety eyes between rounds 19 and 20, leaving about 8-9 stitches of space between them. Round 1: 6 sc in Mr (6) Round 2: 6 inc (12) Round 3: (1 sc, 1 inc) * 6 (18) Round 4: (2 sc, 1 inc) * 6 (24) Round 5: (3 sc, 1 inc) * 6 (30) Round 6: (4 sc, 1 inc) * 6 (36) Round 7: (5 sc, 1 inc) * 6 (42) Round 8: (6 sc, 1 inc) * 6 (48) Round 9: (7 sc, 1 inc) * 6 (54) Round 10: (8 sc, 1 inc) * 6 (60) Rounds 11-23: Sc in each st around (60) (13 rounds total) Round 24: (8 sc, 1 dec) * 6 (54) Round 25: (7 sc, 1 dec) * 6 (48) Round 26: (6 sc, 1 dec) * 6 (42) Round 27: (5 sc, 1 dec) * 6 (36) Round 28: (4 sc, 1 dec) * 6 (30) — Start stuffing firmly with fiberfill. Round 29: (3 sc, 1 dec) * 6 (24) Round 30: (2 sc, 1 dec) * 6 (18) — Leave a long tail for sewing and fasten off. Facial Sculpting Note: After securing the safety eyes, use a needle and skin-colored yarn to pull gently from the outer/inner corners of the eyes down to the neck opening to create realistic eye sockets. Embroider the white details under the eyes, black eyelashes, and thin brown eyebrows. Embroider a small nose right in the middle. 2. Arms (Skin Color - Make 2) Round 1: 6 sc in Mr (6) Round 2: (2 sc, 1 inc) * 2 (8) Rounds 3-26: Sc in each st around (8) (24 rounds total) Stuff the arms very lightly (leave the top part empty so they rest naturally against the body). Leave a long tail for sewing. 3. Legs & Body The legs are crocheted separately and then joined together to continue up into the body. ???? Legs (Skin Color - Make 2) Round 1: Ch 6. Starting from the 2nd ch from hook: 4 sc, 3 sc in the last ch (w). Turn to work along the opposite side of the chain: 3 sc, 1 inc (12) Round 2: 1 inc, 3 sc, 3 inc, 3 sc, 2 inc (18) Round 3: 1 sc, 1 inc, 3 sc, (1 sc, 1 inc)*3, 3 sc, (1 sc, 1 inc)*2 (24) Round 4: BLO: Sc in each st around (24) Rounds 5-6: Sc in each st around (24) Round 7: 6 sc, 6 dec, 6 sc (18) (Decreases at the front form the curve of the foot) Round 8: 5 sc, 4 dec, 5 sc (14) Rounds 9-32: Sc in each st around (14) (24 rounds total) Fasten off the first leg. Do NOT cut the yarn on the second leg; we will continue to join them for the body.
Body Joining Round 33: From the second leg, ch 3 and join to the inner center side of the first leg with a sc. Sc around the first leg (14 sc), sc along one side of the ch (3 sc), sc around the second leg (14 sc), and sc along the other side of the ch (3 sc) (34) Rounds 34-40: Sc in each st around (34) (7 rounds total) Round 41: Decrease 1 st on each side/hip (32) Note: Since this part will be hidden under the dress, you can switch to white yarn (as underwear/slip) or continue with skin color. Rounds 42-48: Sc in each st around (32) Round 49: (6 sc, 1 dec) * 4 (28) Rounds 50-54: Sc in each st around (28) Round 55: (5 sc, 1 dec) * 4 (24) Round 56: Sc in each st around (24) Round 57: (2 sc, 1 dec) * 6 (18) Rounds 58-60: Sc in each st around (18) (Neck section). Fasten off. Insert your wire/support inside the body firmly. 4. Wavy Black Hair Wig To get the voluminous, wavy look seen in 1000109276.jpg, we will crochet a base cap and attach curls to it. Round 1: 6 sc in Mr (6) Round 2: 6 inc (12) Round 3: (1 sc, 1 inc) * 6 (18) Round 4: (2 sc, 1 inc) * 6 (24) Hair Strands: Sl st into the next stitch, ch 45. Turning back, crochet 2 Hdc in each chain all the way down (this makes the strand twist automatically). Skip one stitch on the wig cap base, and secure it with a sl st to the next stitch. Repeat this process around the cap to create 12-14 long, wavy strands. Front Bangs/Fringe: For the front 4-5 strands facing the face, shorten the chains to between ch 15-20 to style them as side-swept bangs. Sew or use hot glue to secure the wig onto the head. 5. Tiered White Dress The dress is worked from the top down (starting at the neckline). Row 1: Ch 25, do not join. Working back across: 24 sc, ch 1, turn. Row 2: (2 sc, 1 inc) across (32), ch 1, turn. Row 3 (Armhole Division): 5 sc, ch 6, skip 6 sts (armhole), 10 sc, ch 6, skip 6 sts, 5 sc, ch 1, turn. Rows 4-12: Sc across the bodice stitches (32). You can leave a small gap at the back for a button closure. Skirt Layers (The 3-Tiered Ruffle Effect): Layer 1: Attach white yarn to the FLO (Front Loop Only) of the waistline row. Crochet 3 Dc in each stitch across. For the next 3 rows, crochet 1 Dc in each stitch to extend the ruffle. Layer 2: Go to the BLO (Back Loop Only) of that same waistline row, crochet down a few rows in flat Dc, and then work another 3 Dc per stitch ruffle in the FLO of that lower row. Layer 3: Repeat the process one more time at the lowest base row to create the final stacked, tiered ruffle skirt look.
6. Lace-up Boots (White - Make 2) Follow the exact same pattern as the sole of the feet (Rounds 1-4) until you have 24 stitches. To make the soles sturdy like the shoes in 1000109276.jpg, cut a small oval piece of plastic (from a food lid) and place it inside the bottom. Rounds 5-9: Sc in each st around (24) To create the tongue of the boot, work only across the front 8 stitches back and forth for 4 rows. Work the remaining side/back stitches separately to create the ankle collar of the boot. Thread a piece of white yarn through the front to mimic shoelaces and tie it into a beautiful bow. 7. Flower Tiara & Dress Decorations White Flowers (For Head and Dress): In a Mr, work (ch 2, 2 Dc, ch 2, 1 sl st) 5 times to create a 5-petal flower. Using pink yarn, make a French knot in the center of each flower. Green Leaves: Ch 6, turn and work: 1 sc, 1 Hdc, 1 Dc, 1 Hdc, 1 sc along the chain to shape the leaf. Assembly: Sew the flowers and leaves onto a long black or green chained cord (the tiara base) and secure it on top of the hair. Sew the remaining flowers onto the dress as shown in 1000109276.jpg. Gently apply a bit of real pink blush to her cheeks to finish her up! Have fun crocheting!
