How To Crochet Doll Alana Amigurumi

Materials Needed:

1. Yarn: Cotton or 3mm acrylic yarn
2. Crochet Hook: 2.75 mm crochet hook
3. Eyes: 9 mm safety eyes
4. Stuffing: Fiberfill
5. Other Tools: Embroidery thread for the nose and mouth, needle for sewing

Step 1: Crochet the Head/Body

1. Magic Ring

• Start with a magic ring.
• Work 8 single crochets into the ring. Tighten the ring and join with a slip stitch.

2. Increasing Rounds

• Round 2: 8 increases (2 single crochets in each stitch) = 16 stitches
• Round 3: 1 single crochet, 1 increase (repeat 8 times) = 24 stitches
• Round 4: 2 single crochets, 1 increase (repeat 8 times) = 32 stitches
• Round 5: 3 single crochets, 1 increase (repeat 8 times) = 40 stitches
• Round 6: 4 single crochets, 1 increase (repeat 8 times) = 48 stitches

3. Single Crochet Rounds (Maintaining Stitch Count)

• Rounds 7–10: Work 48 single crochets in each round (no increases).

Note: At this stage, place the safety eyes (around Round 6-8) and embroider the nose and mouth before continuing.

Step 2: Decreasing Rounds (Shaping the Head/Body)

• Round 11: 4 single crochets, 1 decrease (repeat 8 times) = 40 stitches
• Round 12: 3 single crochets, 1 decrease (repeat 8 times) = 32 stitches
• Round 13: 2 single crochets, 1 decrease (repeat 8 times) = 24 stitches
• Round 14: 1 single crochet, 1 decrease (repeat 8 times) = 16 stitches
• Round 15: Work 8 decreases = 8 stitches

At this stage, fill the body with fiberfill stuffing. Then finish with a slip stitch to close the piece.

Step 3: Crochet Arms/Legs

Arm Pattern:

• Start with a magic ring, and work 8 single crochets into it.
• Work 4 rounds of 8 single crochets (no increases).
• Fasten off and repeat for the second arm.

Leg Pattern:

1. Start with Chains: Chain 15, then skip 1 chain, and work 14 slip stitches.
2. Attach to Body: Crochet 6 single crochets, followed by another set of 15 chains, skip 1 chain, and work 14 single crochets. Fasten off.

Step 4: Create Curls (Hair or Decoration)

1. Curl Pattern:
   • Work 23 single crochets, followed by 24 chains.
   • Skip 1 chain, and work 6 increases (i.e., 2 single crochets in the next stitch), then:
     • 3 single crochets
     • 3 increases
     • Half double crochets
     • Work a total of 12 double crochets, followed by half double crochets and single crochets.
   • End with 2 slip stitches.
2. Repeat for Multiple Curls:
   • Work 23 single crochets. Then make another chain (e.g., 25 chains) and follow the same curling pattern.
   • Repeat until you have 3 or more curls. Fasten off and sew/glue the curls to the doll.

Step 5: Make a Bow

1. Start with a Magic Ring
   • Chain 3, then work 3 double crochets, followed by 2 chains, and secure with a slip stitch.
   • Repeat this sequence to form a bow (make 2 sides). Fasten off.
2. Attach the Bow:
   • Sew or glue the bow to your doll.

Step 6: Make the Dress

1. Create the Base:
   • Chain 30, and join with a slip stitch to form a circle.
   • Work 30 single crochets around.
2. Increase Rounds in Double Crochet:
   • Chain 3 (counts as first double crochet), then work 1 increase (2 double crochets in the same stitch), followed by 1 double crochet (repeat this sequence 15 times). Join with a slip stitch.
   • Chain 3 again, then work 1 increase, followed by 2 double crochets (repeat this sequence 15 times). Join with a slip stitch.
3. Plain Round:
   • Chain 3, then work regular double crochets around. Fasten off.

Step 7: Assembly

• Sew all pieces together (arms, legs, curls, bow, dress). Use glue for added security if needed.
• Adjust the final details (such as embroidery for the face).

Final Notes:

• You can customize the doll’s color and decoration.
• The curls, bow, and dress enhance its cuteness.
