Special Notes
Color Change
This pattern requires color changes to make stripes.
For a seamless color change, follow these steps:
While working on the last stitch of the round, just
before you make the color change, make a single
crochet stitch as usual by inserting hook in the stitch
and pull up a loop. Now instead of pulling the same
yarn through the two remaining loops on your hook,
complete the stitch by pulling the new color through
the loops. In the first stitch of the next round, instead
of making a single crochet stitch, slip stitch with the
new color. Now make single crochet stitches in each
of the remaining stitches of the round. Work on the
next round as usual.

with the other leg in the next round.
BODY
Rnd 1: ch 4; starting from the marked st of the first
leg [Pic 8], sc 10, sc in the next 4 ch [Pic 9], sc in all
10 st of the second leg [Pic 10]. [24 st + 4 ch]

Rnd 15: (sc 4, dec) X 4. [20]
Rnd 16: (sc 3, dec) X 4. [16]
Stuff the body. While stuffing, bend the legs
forward at the point where the legs and the body
meet so no stuffing passes through the top portion
of the legs [Pic 12]. This is to ensure that the upper
legs remain floppy, which will make it possible for
the doll to sit.
Join light peach yarn, fasten off dark green yarn.
Rnd 17: (sc 2, dec) X 4. [12]
Rnd 18: (sc, dec) X 4. [8]
Rnd 19-25: sc around. [8]
Stuff the neck firmly. It is very important to stuff
the neck as firmly as possible at this point so it can
support the weight of the head.
Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing. Using your
yarn needle, weave the yarn tail through the front
loop of each remaining stitch and pull it tight, closing
off the neck. Weave in the yarn end.

Row 1: Starting from the 4th ch from the hook, dc in

neck that will be inserted later.
Rnd 22: (sc 4, dec) X 2. [10]
Fasten off. Weave in the yarn end.
Shape face: Thread a yarn needle with light peach
yarn. Insert needle from the opening at the base of
the head, bring it out from Point A next to the eye [Pic
13]. Push the needle back in from Point B and out from
Point C close to the next eye [Pic 14]. Push it in from
Point D, bringing it out from Point A again [Pic 15].
Gently squish the eyes together with your fingers and
carefully pull the yarn to bring the eyes closer. While
holding this shape, push the needle back in from Point
B and out from Point C [Pic 16]. Push it in from Point
D, and bring it out from the opening at the base of
the head [Pic 17]. Gently pull both the yarn ends and
tie them together to hold the shape [Pic 18]. Clip off
excess yarn and push the yarn ends inside the head.
Embroider eye details: With white yarn, sew a
crescent shape around the outer edge of the eyes [Pic
19-20]. With black yarn or embroidery thread, sew
eyelashes [Pic 21-23]
WIG
Work with brown yarn.
Rnd 1-15: Follow instructions for Head.
Fasten off leaving a very long tail. We will use this
tail to embroider bangs on the forehead.
HAIR
Slip the wig on the
head; make sure the
yarn tail is positioned
above the left eye.
Using pearl headed
pins, mark the area on
the forehead where
the bangs will be
embroidered as shown
in Pic 24. Weave the
yarn tail around these
pins to create a zigzag
outline for the bangs
that will cover the
entire right side of the forehead [Pic 25]. Now we
will start embroidering hair, one cluster at a time.
With your yarn needle, make a stitch on the
hairpiece at the end of the zigzag outline [Pic 26].
Do not take out the pins yet; we will need them
to hold the outline. Next, make another stitch
on the pointed end of the outline; make sure the
needle goes beneath the yarn that serves as your
outline and through one stitch on the head [Pic
27]. Make another stitch at exactly the same spot,
using the same technique, to hold the pointed
end of the outline in place. Sew your next stitch
on the hairpiece [Pic 28]. Continue embroidering
slanted lines, starting at the pointed end of the
zigzag and ending at the edge of the hairpiece until
the outline for the first bang is covered [Pic 29-30].
Continue until you cover the entire right side of the
forehead [Pic 31-33]. Similarly, create an outline
with pearl headed pins on the left side of the
forehead and embroider the bangs [Pic 34]. Secure
the wig with a few tacks at the back of the head.
BRAID [make 2]
Cut eight 15-inch long stands of brown yarn, fold
them in half. Take another strand of brown yarn,
equal in length to the other stands, wrap it around
the fold line and use it to tie the other strands
together [Pic 35]. Divide the strands into three
equal sections and braid them [Pic 36-37]. Tie off
the end and clip off excess yarn. Thread a yarn
needle with brown yarn and sew the braids on the
head [Pic 38].
JOIN HEAD TO BODY
Note: This head-body joining technique ensures
that the head of your amigurumi is movable.
Thread a yarn needle with brown yarn and insert
the needle from the top of the head and out
from the neck opening. Now insert your needle
through the base of the neck [between Rnd 18 &
19 of the body], back through the neck opening
on the head, bringing it out again from the top of
the head. Slide the head down the two strands of
yarn until it sits perfectly on the neck. Knot the
yarn ends together a few times to secure. Clip off
excess yarn and carefully push remaining yarn
back into the head. See Pic 39 for reference.
CAPELET
Ch 31 with white yarn.

6, 3 sc in the next ch, sc 12, 3 sc in the next ch, sc
