At this stage we need to insert
the frame in the body of a doll
Frame
We need to prepare 2 pieces of wire for the frame of the necessary size (look the photo).
Twist one part of a long piece, forming a «spine», leaving the ends for the legs.
Wind the ends of frame for the legs with an adhesive plaster
(so as they do not pierce through the crocheted cloth)
Now we need to wind the frame of the legs with a plush yarn
(to get the volume to the legs) (look the photo).
Then insert a wire for the arms in the «spine» at the necessary level. Make one turn
(so as the frame of the arms does not move).
Try on the length of wire with the length of the arms, so as the frame will be symmetrical
and not very long (at this stage you can cut the ends of the frame with pliers)
Wind the ends of the frame of the arms with an adhesive plaster (as you did for the legs)
The frame is ready.
Carefully insert the frame, pulling the arms and the legs on the frame
like the stockings.
At this stage you should stuff the body to the necessary volume.
(do not stuff the arms and the legs)
It is convenient to use
the pincers to do it.
Bend the ends of the
legs (= a foot) with the
help of pliers, bend a wire
for the knees
with the hands.
Shoulders and neck
Continue crocheting the body
16rnd – 3sc, 2dec, 6sc, 2dec, 3sc (16)
17rnd – 8dec (8)
At this stage stuff the shoulders and the upper part of the body.
18rnd – 1sc,1dec,
2sc, 1dec, 1sc (6)

Head

2rnd – 12inc (24)
3rnd – (1inc,1sc)х12 (36)
4-15rnd – 36sc (36)
Change the color to the color of the hair
16rnd – (1dec,4sc)х6 (30)
17rnd – (1dec, 3sc)х6 (24)
18rnd – (1dec, 2sc)х6 (18)
Stuff the head rather tight and evenly.
19rnd – (1dec, 1sc)х6 (12)
20rnd – 6dec (6)
Add the stufng in the top of the head, tighten
the left stitches, leaving a long thread
(approx. equal to the length of the hair)
Face
The most important moment is to defne primordially
the correct proportions of the placing of the eyes.
Dene the middle of the face by eye – it is a
vertical line.
A horizontal line is between the 8 and 9 rows
of the head.
Between the points for the eyes
(yellow points in the «holes») should be 4 «holes»
When the beginning points are defined, further embroider the eyes with a moulinet thread,
(in 6 threads), alternating the colors.
I tried to show thoroughly all the steps at the photos. You can dene the length of the
stitches and the total size of the eyes attentively looking at the photos, counting out
as along the squares.
I take a molinet thread in 6 threads.
- Embroider the pupils with a black color, but do not cut the yarn, take out in the area
of the temple a rather long end (we will need it to embroider the eyelashes later) - Embroider the iris with a grey-blue color only at the both sides of the pupil.
Take out the left thread at the nape and fasten with an accurate knot.
(Later there will be the hair and the knot will be invisible) - Embroider the white with a white color along a grey-blue color.
And make the stitches – highlights.
One long highlight along the pupil and one short highlight along
the iris (look the photo). Fasten a thread at the nape similarly. - Return to a black thread, which we left in the area of the temple. Carefully take it out to
the eye (so as there are no stitches near the temple) and make several stitches along the
upper eyelid and one stitch along the lower eyelid.
Repeat the same for the second eye.
6 threads for the embroidering of the eyelashes is too much, 3 is enough. That’s why:
Further take out a thread in the middle of the lower eyelid and divide the threads in half.
Thus 3 threads from 6 leave for a while, and 3 threads insert in a needle and embroider the
lower (2 pcs) and upper (4 pcs) eyelashes at this eye. Fasten the thread at the nape.
Return to the left 3 threads, take them out near the other eye and embroider the eyelashes
there similarly. Fasten off the yarn.
- Embroider the brows with a brown thread.
- Embroider the nose with the same yarn, which you’ve used for the body
(approx. 3 stitches). - Embroider the mouth with a pink thread.
The face is ready.
You can see at the photo all the knots at the nape.
Rouge the cheeks with a pastel crayon or with common rouge.
Hair
Begin with marking like for the eyes.
From the middle line to each side count
out 6 «holes» and in the 7th (yellow one)
put the marker.
Thus between the right and left markers
(silver pins) will be 12 «holes».
To quicker cut the threads for the hair, I take a book of the suitable size, wind it along its width with yarn and then cut along the cover.
In such way we quickly get the threads of the same length.
From each of the markers you need to lay the line of the hair growth. You can see at the
photo, it is necessary to make 4 stitches over each 2 rows.
Now fill the whole nape with two rows of the loops of the hair.
Each row of the loops of the hair = 4 rows of the crocheted cloth of the head.
Insert the hook from the bottom to the top.
First fill the temples, then the lower row and then the upper row.
Now make one row of the loops along the 16th row of the head
(the first row of the hair on the head). Insert the hook from the bottom to the top.
So, it is left to fill the whole top of the head with hair.
Make a hair-loop in each stitch of the cloth of the head at the top in a spiral.
But insert the hook from the left to the right.
