GAGE: Gage is not important as long as the same size thread and hook are used for all
the pattern pieces. However, since tension can vary in different circumstances, it is
suggested that when making two pieces that must be the same, such as arms and legs, that
you complete both in one sitting.




SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS:
ADJUSTABLE RING: Grasp the yarn between your thumb and forefinger, leaving a
tail at the beginning. Wrap the thread over and around the index finger clockwise,
crossing the thread at the top of the finger. Insert the hook underneath the front thread
that you just crossed, then catch the back thread with the hook, and pull a loop of the
back thread from underneath. Slip the loop off the finger, grasping the working end in
the left hand as if to begin crocheting. Chain 1, work number of stitches required into the
ring. Pull up a long loop, then, grasping the stitches just made with the right hand and
tail with left (or vice versa), pull to tighten ring. Insert hook into long loop and tighten
back against hook. Making sure tail is to the back, skip first chain worked and continue
working pattern.
DC2TOG: Decrease in double crochet: *YOH and insert hook into next stitch, YO and
pull up a loop, YOH and pull through 2 loops on hook; ** repeat * to ** once, YOH and
pull through remaining loops on hook.
REV-SC: Insert hook into the stitch immediately to the right, yoh and bring up a loop,
YO and pull through both loops on hook.
IMPORTANT NOTE ON STUFFING: The way that you stuff your doll can greatly
affect the quality of the finished product, especially if you are thread-jointing. You’ll be
amazed at the quantity of stuffing that each piece requires. The doll should be stuffed
firmly so that it won’t lose its shape, but not so firmly that the stitches are pulled apart to
the extent that the stuffing shows through in a distracting manner.
WEAVING/HIDING LOOSE THREAD ENDS: When making the doll, you can hide
the loose ends by pulling them to the inside of the piece with a tapestry needle. Pass the
needle through the piece 2 or 3 times to anchor the thread end (always go in and come out
between stitches, being careful not to catch any fabric), then pull the thread taut, and clip
close to the surface so that it disappears inside.
For other pattern pieces, it’s best to weave all loose ends as you finish each piece. If you
can’t hide the beginning tail by working over it for a few stitches, leave a tail that is long
enough to enable you to thread it onto a needle to weave it. When you fasten off, always
leave a tail that is long enough to thread onto a needle and weave.
TO WEAVE LOOSE ENDS: Thread the tail onto a needle. Working on the WS of the
piece and beginning directly beneath the place where you fastened off, insert the needle
underneath and through the upper loops of fabric for a length of 4 or 5 stitches, and then
turn and repeat through 2 or 3 of the same stitches in the opposite direction.

FACIAL FEATURES
Tip: When you are making a piece that will be sewn to the doll, leave a tail at the
beginning, so that after you have sewn the piece in place, you’ll be able to thread the tail
onto a needle and pull it inside the doll to hide it.
NOSE:
1. With same thread as head, begin with an adjustable ring, make 6 sc in ring OR ch 2
with skin color, 6 sc in 2nd ch from hook; do not join. (6 sc)
2. (2 sc in next sc, sc in next sc) 3 times. (9 sc)
• Do not turn right side out. The WS will be the outside of the nose.
3. Sc in ea sc around; FO, leaving long end. (9 sc)
• Stuff the nose lightly.
• Mark the center of the face where the thread marker is placed, then remove the
thread. Using the long end, sew the nose to the face directly over the center mark. Make
sure the nose remains centered as you sew.
ATTACH EYES: Use pins (the kind with round glass heads are good for this) to locate
the eye positions (see illustration on page 7). Sew the eyes on with black nylon or other
strong thread: Begin by threading a sturdy needle, such as a milliner’s needle, with nylon
or other strong thread. Do not knot the end. If using wire-looped eyes, crimp the wire loop with pliers (if it’s not pre-crimped) until you can just get your needle through the
loop; insert the needle through the loop (or bead), and then remove the thread from the
needle. (If you can’t get your needle through the wire or bead, insert the
thread through first, then thread it onto the needle.) Thread both ends
back onto the needle, and then insert the needle into the first eye location.
*Bring the needle out the back or bottom of the head (depending on the
angle you want), pulling the thread until the wire loop touches the face.
Insert the crimped loop into the same place where the needle went in (use
a larger needle to make a tunnel for the loop if necessary), pushing it
flush against the face. Pull gently but firmly on the thread to slightly imbed the eye into
the face. Keeping the thread taut so as not to allow the eye to
loosen, insert the needle back into the exact place,** then push
through the head and out at the second eye location. Insert the
threaded needle through the eye wire or bead (once again, if your
needle won’t go through the opening, remove the thread from the
needle, insert it through the eye wire or bead, then rethread the
needle). Insert the needle into the 2nd eye location, then repeat * to
** to attach the 2nd eye, bringing the needle out finally at the bottom of the head. Tie off
the ends with a surgeon’s knot (see illustration at right), then thread the ends onto the
needle and insert back into the head in the same place where the knot is; pull though the
head. Clip ends close to the surface so that they disappear inside the head.
EYEBROWS (MAKE 2):
1. Using two strands hair color (flaming orange or pumpkin) ch 6, sl st in 2nd ch from
hook, sc in next 3 sc, sl st in last ch; FO, leaving long end for sewing. (5 sc)
• WS is the front. The “furring” is optional; gently brush the eyebrows until they are
slightly fuzzy, always brushing in one direction, away from what will be the inside edge.
Trim any unruly ends, and then pin the brows above the eyes in the desired location.
Carefully sew them to the face using the long tail.
MOUTH:
Using 6 strands of red embroidery floss, embroider a horizontal straight stitch below the
nose, letting the thread arc downward in the center so that the mouth will be in the shape
of a smile. Catch the center of the smile with a tiny stitch to hold it in place. Make a
shorter straight stitch directly below and touching the mouth, and another directly above
and touching the mouth.
DEFINE FEATURES WITH NEEDLE SCULPTING (OPTIONAL):
*Thread a long needle with upholstery thread or crochet thread in a color that is similar to
the face; do not double, knot the end. Insert the needle into the bottom of the head and
bring it out just above the first corner of the mouth. (Always go in and out between
stitches, trying not to catch any fabric. Use your pliers to help you pull the needle
through if necessary.) Tug gently to pull the knot inside the head. Insert the needle back
into the face close to the place where the needle came out, and bring it out the back of the
head; pull to indent the corner of the mouth slightly. Insert the needle back into the head
in the same place where it came out,* and bring it out at the opposite corner of the mouth.
Repeat * to *, coming back out the back of the head once more. Insert the needle back
into the same place where it came out, and out at the lower outside corner of the first eye,
then back into the face a very short distance from the exit point, and out the back of the
head. Pull to indent slightly. **Go back into the head again, and out at the inner edge of
the eye, then back into the face a short distance from the exit point and out the back of the
head.** Repeat ** to ** for the second eye.
• Us a pink pencil or makeup blush to shade the cheeks, and to lightly shade the end of
the nose.

pull out back of head. Insert needle back into head in same pl where it came out,
push through head, and bring out at opposite edge of eye, catching edge of eyelid as
you come out. Insert needle back into face and out back of head. Insert needle back
into same place where it came out, and bring out behind the 1st sl st of the eyelid, then
through the sl st from behind. Insert needle into next sc of eyelid, into face, and out
back of head. Insert back into same pl where it came out, and push through head,
coming out above the eye and through the next sc. Insert back into next sl st into
face, and bring out back of head again. Secure and FO. Thread 2nd tail onto needle,

ATTACH ARMS:
First use long pins inserted through the tops of the arms to help you locate the desired
position; mark the location for each arm. Thread doll needle with a 30-inch (76cm) length
of upholstery or other strong thread, doubled but not knotted. Insert needle into the 1st
shoulder and push through to opposite side, leaving a 3-inch (8 cm) tail protruding from
body. Insert needle back into body one row up, push back through body, and bring out on
opposite side of body one row above beginning tail. Insert needle back into body in same
place as tail, and bring out on opposite side at the lower point of the joint. Pull thread to
indent socket on each side.
*Insert needle into inner side of arm and through to outer side, and then turn and insert
the needle back into the arm in the same place where it came out, push it back through
the arm, dipping down inside the arm to grab some stuffing, and bring it out the same
place on the inside of the arm. Insert the needle back into the body in the lower joint
stitch, through the body, and out the opposite side in the same place in the lower joint
stitch. Pull thread to force the arm against the body. ** Repeat * to ** for 2nd arm. If
one of the arms feels loose, you can repeat the process * to ** for one or both arms,
ending with needle coming out of body just behind or in front of the top of the arm. Cut
thread, leaving a 3-inch (8 cm) tail. Tie off the beginning and ending tails with a
surgeon’s knot, then thread the ends on a needle and run through the body to hide the
ends.

ATTACH LEGS:
First use long pins inserted through the tops of the legs to help you locate the desired
position; mark the location for each leg. Thread doll needle with a 30-inch (76cm) length
of upholstery or other strong thread, doubled but not knotted. Insert needle into the 1st
hip and push through to opposite side, leaving a 3-inch (8 cm) tail protruding from body.
Insert needle back into body one row down, push back through body, and bring out on
opposite side of body one row below beginning tail. Insert needle back into body in same
place as tail, and bring out on opposite side at the upper point of the joint. Pull thread on
each side to indent socket.
*Insert needle into inner side of leg and through to outer side, and then turn and insert the
needle back into the leg in the same place where it came out, push it back through the leg,
dipping down inside the leg to grab some stuffing, and bring it out the same place on the
inside of the leg. Insert the needle back into the body in the upper joint stitch, through
the body, and out the opposite side in the same place in the upper joint stitch. Pull thread
to force leg against body. ** Repeat * to ** for 2nd leg. If one of the legs feels loose,
you can repeat the process * to ** for one or both legs, ending with needle coming out of
body just behind or in front of the top of the leg. Cut thread, leaving a 3-inch (8 cm) tail.
Tie off the beginning and ending tails with a surgeon’s knot, then thread the ends on a
needle and run through the body to hide the ends.
• Pull out or clip the thread that marks the center front of body.

JOIN:
Because we don’t want to add unnecessary bulk to the jacket, we need to sew the seams
with a ladder stitch. To refresh your memory: Place the two pieces to be joined side by
side with edges touching. Insert a threaded needle underneath both loops of the 1st sc on
the first piece, then underneath both loops of the corresponding sc on the second piece.
Turn and reverse the process, going underneath the loops of the second sc on the second
piece, then underneath the loops of the next sc of the first piece. Pull on the thread gently
to bring the pieces together. (See illustration on page 10.) There will be times when you
are working in row ends instead of single crochet stitches. Use the same procedure,
matching up row ends as you sew back and forth.
• Join at center back: Thread a tapestry needle with the same thread used to make the
jacket. Place the two pieces of the jacket with back edges together. Beginning at the
top edge, sew the two pieces together using a ladder stitch in the top loops only of
each corresponding sc. Do not work the last 5 stitches at the bottom. Push the
needle through and turn the piece over. Repeat the ladder stitching on this side,
using the free lps of each sc.
• Join at shoulders: Thread a tapestry needle with the same thread used to make the
jacket. Place the edges of the front and back shoulders together, and join using a
ladder stitch.

WRIST RUFFLES (Optional):
These are a bit fussy to make, but if you have the patience, they look
especially cute with the jabot. Unfortunately, they have to be added after
the jacket is on the doll, because if done before arms are attached, they
add bulk that makes it very difficult to get the jacket over the hands.
You may want to take a break between working the two ruffles. Picture
on the left is me after I did them both without taking a break.
