Stuff the upper body and the neck tightly. The head should sit on it
steadily.
You can see the scheme of increases and decreases on the pic.22.
Reds = increases, greens = decreases.
Head
Face design
To make the eyes I use black metal sew-on buttons (5 мм) — the thickest part of them. You
can use any other eyes material.
Insert strong black thread into the button holes. Glue the eyes with super glue in 16th-17th
head round. The distance between them — ~10 stitches.
Glue them so the eyes would not shift when we sew them on. When the eyes are glued to
the head, put the threads into the needle, pierce the head and get the threads to the back of
the head. Tie the threads at the back of the head — you can also make a slight tightening of
the eye area. Hide the ends of the threads inside the head.
Nose and ears
Nose
Get the thread left on the top of the head to the 13-14th rounds in the center of the face.
Make 3-4 horizontal stitches, pulling 3-4 loops. Then sew it over with the vertical stitches —
carefully, placing each stitch parallel to another
Ears (2)
Rnd 1. 6sc in the magic ring (6)
Rnd 2. 4inc, 1ch, turn (8)+(2)
Rnd 3. 2sc, 1inc, (1sc, 1inc)х2, 1ch, turn
Rnd 4. 11sc (11)+(2)
Leave the 20 cm thread to attach the ears to the head.
Attach them at the distance of 7 stitches from the eyes.
The top of the ear should be at eye level.
Hair
I use boucle mohair yarns to make hair. First we crochet a wig base, then we sew the hairs
to it. You can choose the distance between hairs. I usually leave 1.5-2 cm. The point of
making the wig base instead of sewing the hairs to the head directly — the doll wouldn’t look
bald, even if there isn’t much hair.
Wig base. Use any threads and crocheting style you like.
Rnd 1. 6sc into the magic ring
Rnd 2. 6inc (12)
Rnd 3. (1sc, 1inc)х6 (18)
Rnd 4. (2sc, 1inc)х6 (24)
Rnd 5. (3sc, 1inc)х6 (30)
Rnd 6. (4sc, 1inc)х6 (36)
Rnd 7. (5sc, 1inc)х6 (42)
The number of round can vary. I make a head with the 27 cm girth. Stop making increases
as soon as circle’s diameter = 7 cm. Then crochet without increases and try the wig on the
head from time to time. It should fit tightly.
Fix the wig on the head using pins. Sew it to the head by the threads of matching color —
first on the sides, then in the middle.
Use pins to choose the placement for the hairs. Here’s the way of hair attachment —
I use the contrast thread and the other head
for illustrative purposes.
Put the thread into the needle,
but don’t cut it off the ball.
Attach two hairs at a time. Look at the.
The hairs would be attached tightly.
You need to pull them to fix even better
and cut at the desired length. Fill the head
with hair from the sides of the wig to its top.
Attaching the lower legs
Last step is attaching the lower legs.
Mark the attachment points near the 4th round
Try it on using a needle
Sew the lower leg to the upper leg, piercing the marked points several times.
Tint the cheeks and the bridge of nose with the dry pastel or blusher.
