  • Crochet thread, Super Fine Yarn (level 1 in yarn classification) – I used Aunt Lydia’s Crochet Thread, Size 3, 100% Mercerized Cotton in the colour “Natural”
  • Thick and thin novelty yarn for the hair – I used Loops & Threads Mirage in “Black” (since discontinued) and Isaac Mizrahi’s Sutton Yarn in “East End”
  • 2 mm Clover Amour hook
  • Yarn needle (bent tip helpful for attaching amigurumi parts- see HERE)
  • fiberfill
  • 7.5 mm safety eyes
  • Black embroidery floss (for eyelashes)
  • Clover lock ring stitch markers
  • glue gun, fabric glue (for inside of head to secure hair into place)
  • Fabric: patterned for dress, white for boots
  • White sewing thread (for boots & dress)
  • Pink sharpie (for cheeks)
  • Beads: for pearl necklace and boot decorations
  • Flower crown: floral/stem wire, plastic flowers and leaves

Place safety eyes between Rounds 19 and 20, about 7 stitches apart- do not fasten in place with washer backings yet (in case you need to move them later on in relation to the hair).

Using thick and thin yarn, add hair (see “How to Add Hair to Crochet Dolls” tutorial HERE).
Once you are happy with the hair placement, check the placement of the eyes.  If you are happy with the positioning of the eyes, fasten them in place with the washer backings.   Embroider small nose between eyes using crochet thread.

Sewing Dress & Boots:

  • Dress: Using template above as a guideline for sizing, cut strips of fabric and hem edges.  Note that the dimensions shown above are the FINAL dimensions of our dress, so you need to  make the shapes larger, leaving about a 1 cm/0.5″ seam allowance.  You may need to adjust your sizing depending on the final size of your crochet doll (may vary depending on gauge, what yarn and hook size you use for the body).  Draw shapes and fold fabric towards center line.  Sew along edges to secure front and back parts of dress, leaving a tube in between.  Cut along lines, leaving a seam allowance of about 1 cm/0.5″.  Invert tube to form dress.
  • Boots: Hem top edge of fabric and draw shape.  Fold fabric in half and sew along lines.  Leave seam allowance and cut out shapes- invert to form boots.

Assembly:

– Attach body onto bottom of head.
– Slip tube dress over body.
– Place arms on either side of the dress and use sewing thread to sew arms and dress onto body.
– Sew legs onto bottom of body.
– Sew gold bead onto each boot.Place boots onto bottom of legs

Details:

– Add pink blush to the cheeks.
– Sew three beads onto collar to make necklace.
– Create flower crown by wrapping floral wire into a circle, twisting the ends together.  Place flowers onto the wire circle, securing them in place with floral tape (wrap stems to wire circle) or with hot glue. 

Every time Ryan showed me his progress on adding details to the Primrose Crochet Dolls, I couldn’t stop squealing!  You could also braid her hair or give her ponytails!
