<br />
It was supposed to be a kokeshi inspired doll, but ended up looking like pucca =P<br />
<br />
So here goes!<br />
<br />
<b>Head</b><br />
<i>with white yarn</i><br />
<br />
Row1: Magic Ring with 6 stitches (6)<br />
Row2: 2 single crochet in each st (12)<br />
Row3: 1 single crochet in the 1st stitch, 2 single crochet in the next, repeat all around (18)<br />
Row 4-6: work the 3 rows even<br />
Row 7: 1 invisible decrease in the 1st stitch, 1 single crochet in the next, repeat all around, stuff it tightly (12)<br />
Row 8: invisible decrease all around, slip stitch and sew shut<br />
<br />
<b>Hair</b><br />
<i>in black yarn</i><br />
<br />
Row 1: Magic Ring with 8 stitches (8)<br />
Row 2: 2 single crochet in each st (16)<br />
Row3: 1 single crochet in the 1st 3 stitches, 2 single crochet in the next, repeat all around (20) <br />
Row 4&5 : work the 2 rows even<br />
Row 6: 14 half double crochets, chain 1, turn<br />
Row 7: 14 half double crochet, slip stitch, leave long tail for sewing to the head<br />
<br />
<b>Buns</b> (make 2 of these)<br />
<i>in black yarn</i><br />
<br />
Row 1: Magic Ring with 4 stitches (4)<br />
Row 2: 2 single crochet in each st join the red yarn(8)<br />
Row 3: work the row even, slip stitch and leave tail for sewing<br />
<br />
<b>Assembly</b><br />
<br />
<ul><li> Weave some yarn to make a braid, pass it through the center of the hair piece, give it a knot and using a embroidery needle weave the yarn ends into the headpiece to make it more stable. Tie the other braid end to a keychain ring.</li>
<li>Fix the hair piece to the head with some pins. Using the tail, sew the hair to the head, starting at row 6 (so you skip a row making it look more like longish hair)</li>
<li>Fix the hair buns to the hair with some pins and sew them.</li>
<li>Grab some good sewing thread, 2 long black beads and fix them in order to make the eyes. I like to knot the ends of the thread under the hair flap to make it harder for the beads to come off.</li>
<li>Use a q-tip and some cheesy pink blush to make the cheek effects.</li>
</ul>Try it out and let me know how it turned out =PRubicrafthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05423520128310473719noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4464986557950411041.post-76416902024602503232011-01-10T17:55:00.000-08:002011-01-11T09:48:45.604-08:00Hello everyoneHey there!
