Amigurumi Terms (Abbreviations) MR: Magic Ring sc: Single crochet inc: Increase (Two single crochets in the same stitch) dec: Decrease (Invisible decrease using two stitches together) BLO: Back Loop Only FLO: Front Loop Only ch: Chain *(...)6: Repeat the instructions inside the parentheses 6 times. ????️ Step-by-Step Pattern Instructions 1. Arms (Make 2) Start with the skin color yarn. Stuff lightly as you go, leaving the top section unstuffed. Round 1: 6 sc in MR Round 2: (1 sc, 1 inc)*3 = 9 sc Rounds 3-5 (3 rounds): 9 sc Round 6: 1 bobble stitch (for the thumb), 8 sc = 9 sc Round 7: 1 dec, 7 sc = 8 sc Rounds 8-26 (19 rounds): 8 sc (If you want to transition to the t-shirt color, you can switch to the colored yarn for the last 4 rounds. Since the dolls in 1000104312.jpg wear crop tops, the arms can start in skin color and switch to the shirt color at the shoulder). Fasten off and hide the yarn tail. (The arms will be crocheted directly into the body later, not sewn on).
2. Legs, Hips, and Body Joining The dolls in 1000104312.jpg have long, well-shaped legs. This guide uses the middle doll (wearing pants) as the baseline layout: Left Leg (For Black Shoe and Pink Pants): Start with black yarn. Round 1: ch 7. Turn, starting from the 2nd ch from hook: 5 sc, 3 sc in the last ch stitch. Working along the opposite side of the chain: 4 sc, 1 inc = 14 sc Round 2: 1 inc, 4 sc, 3 inc, 4 sc, 2 inc = 20 sc Round 3: 1 sc, 1 inc, 4 sc, (1 sc, 1 inc)*3, 4 sc, (1 sc, 1 inc)*2 = 26 sc Round 4: Working in BLO, 26 sc (Creates the flat edge for the sole) Rounds 5-6: 26 sc Round 7: 7 sc, 6 dec, 7 sc = 20 sc You can switch to white yarn here for a sock effect, or transition straight to the pink pants. For the middle doll, switch directly to Fuchsia/Pink yarn. Round 8: Working in BLO, 6 sc, 4 dec, 6 sc = 16 sc Round 9: 6 sc, 2 dec, 6 sc = 14 sc Stuff firmly with fiberfill. Rounds 10-22 (13 rounds): 14 sc To create the flared/bell-bottom pants look, start increasing after the knee: Round 23: (6 sc, 1 inc)*2 = 16 sc Rounds 24-32 (9 rounds): 16 sc. Fasten off. Right Leg: Work identically to the left leg, but do NOT fasten off after Round 32. Round 33 (Joining): ch 3 from the right leg and connect it to the inner side of the left leg with a sc. Work 16 sc around the left leg + 3 sc along the chain + 16 sc around the right leg + 3 sc along the opposite side of the chain = 38 sc (This is your new body total). Body: Rounds 34-40 (7 rounds): 38 sc (Hip section) Switch to skin color yarn here for the exposed midriff: Round 41: Working in BLO, 38 sc Rounds 42-45 (4 rounds): 38 sc Switch to the Crop T-shirt color: Rounds 46-50 (5 rounds): 38 sc Round 51 (Decreases): Decrease evenly along the sides and back: (7 sc, 1 dec)*4, sc in the remaining stitches = 34 sc Rounds 52-54: 34 sc Round 55 (Joining the Arms): Align the arms with the sides of the body to crochet them together: 11 sc across the body, crochet 3 sc through both the arm and body, 14 sc across the front of the body, crochet 3 sc through both the second arm and body, 3 sc across the back of the body. Round 56: Crochet all the way around, incorporating the remaining 5 outer stitches of each arm = Approx. 38 sc. Round 57: Decrease sharply at the shoulders: (4 sc, 1 dec) all the way around = 30 sc Round 58: (3 sc, 1 dec)*6 = 24 sc Switch to skin color yarn (Neck): Round 59: Working in BLO, (2 sc, 1 dec)*6 = 18 sc Rounds 60-63 (4 rounds): 18 sc (Neck length). Stuff the body very firmly and insert your wire/support structure into the neck.
3. Head Continue directly from the 18 sc of the neck using skin color yarn. Round 1: (2 sc, 1 inc)*6 = 24 sc Round 2: (3 sc, 1 inc)*6 = 30 sc Round 3: (4 sc, 1 inc)*6 = 36 sc Round 4: (5 sc, 1 inc)*6 = 42 sc Round 5: (6 sc, 1 inc)*6 = 48 sc Round 6: (7 sc, 1 inc)*6 = 54 sc Round 7: (8 sc, 1 inc)*6 = 60 sc Rounds 8-22 (15 rounds): 60 sc Insert safety eyes between Rounds 14 and 15, leaving a gap of 9 to 10 stitches between them. Round 23: (8 sc, 1 dec)*6 = 54 sc Round 24: (7 sc, 1 dec)*6 = 48 sc Round 25: (6 sc, 1 dec)*6 = 42 sc Round 26: (5 sc, 1 dec)*6 = 36 sc Round 27: (4 sc, 1 dec)*6 = 30 sc Start stuffing the head firmly with fiberfill. Push extra fiberfill toward the sides to give the cheeks a plump, rounded shape. Round 28: (3 sc, 1 dec)*6 = 24 sc Round 29: (2 sc, 1 dec)*6 = 18 sc Round 30: (1 sc, 1 dec)*6 = 12 sc Round 31: 6 dec = 6 sc. Use a sewing needle to weave through the remaining stitches, pull tight to close, and fasten off. 4. Hair Wig and Braids / Buns The dolls have quite thick hair. Use the hair-colored yarn: Round 1: 6 sc in MR Round 2: 6 inc = 12 sc Round 3: (1 sc, 1 inc)*6 = 18 sc Round 4: (2 sc, 1 inc)*6 = 24 sc Round 5: (3 sc, 1 inc)*6 = 30 sc Round 6: (4 sc, 1 inc)*6 = 36 sc Round 7: (5 sc, 1 inc)*6 = 42 sc Round 8: (6 sc, 1 inc)*6 = 48 sc Round 9: (7 sc, 1 inc)*6 = 54 sc Rounds 10-16 (7 rounds): 54 sc (Test fit on the head to adjust rows if needed). Making the Hair Strands/Bangs: For the section facing forward on the wig cap, chain and slip stitch back down (e.g., ch 10, turn, 9 sc back down) to form bangs. For the sides and back, chain much longer strands (e.g., ch 40-50) and work half double crochets back down to create long hair pieces. For the Braided Doll (Left): Separate the long strands into two sides and create standard hair braids, securing the ends. For the Space Bun Doll (Middle): Crochet two small fiber-filled balls (MR 6sc -> 12sc -> 18sc -> 18sc -> 12sc -> 6sc) and sew them onto both sides of the hair cap.
5. Beret Hat (Accessory) Using pink or orange yarn: Round 1: 6 sc in MR Round 2: 6 inc = 12 sc Round 3: (1 sc, 1 inc)*6 = 18 sc Round 4: (2 sc, 1 inc)*6 = 24 sc Round 5: (3 sc, 1 inc)*6 = 30 sc Round 6: (4 sc, 1 inc)*6 = 36 sc Round 7: (5 sc, 1 inc)*6 = 42 sc Round 8: (6 sc, 1 inc)*6 = 48 sc Round 9: (7 sc, 1 inc)*6 = 54 sc Round 10: (8 sc, 1 inc)*6 = 60 sc Round 11: (9 sc, 1 inc)*6 = 66 sc Rounds 12-14: 66 sc Now we decrease to curl the beret inward: Round 15: (9 sc, 1 dec)*6 = 60 sc Round 16: (8 sc, 1 dec)*6 = 54 sc Round 17: 54 sc. Fasten off and weave in ends. You can add a tiny stalk/loop to the very center top of the hat by pulling up a loop at the magic ring and chaining 3-4. 6. Details and Finishing Touches (Facial Sculpting) Eye Indentation: Insert a needle with skin-colored yarn from the back or bottom of the head, bringing it out right beneath the eye. Pull across and bring it back out the rear, tugging gently to sink the eyes slightly inward. This creates that adorable "anime" expression. Nose: Embroider a tiny nose right between the eyes, one row down, by wrapping skin-colored yarn 2 or 3 times across a couple of stitches. Cheeks: Apply real makeup blush or powdered soft pastels using a cotton swab to give the cheeks their vibrant rosy look as shown in the picture. Clothing Logos/Text: Use thin black and white embroidery thread to make fine horizontal strokes to simulate text on the t-shirts (or use a fabric marker). Stars: For a clean finish, cut small star shapes out of white felt and secure them to the pants/skirts using fabric glue. Alternatively, you can embroider small stars using white yarn by making an "X" and overlapping it with a "+" sign.
