My Crochet Doll


Book Description

Make adorable crochet dolls with over fifty unique patterns for clothes and accessories. With a range of clothing and accessory patterns, dress up your doll for home and abroad, from basic underwear and shoes to dresses, dungarees, sweaters, coats, and hats. As well as wardrobe essentials, you can create accessories to match each outfit, including a teddy for bedtime, a bucket for the beach, cakes for the kitchen, and even a penguin for the North Pole! There’s a range of dressing-up costumes, with an adorable bear suit and a fun superhero mask and cape. The cute mini suitcase pattern is the perfect for storing all of your dolls belongings and it doubles up as a bed too! Be aware that crochet terms in the United States are different from those in the U.K. This can be confusing as the same terms are used to refer to different stitches under each system. All crochet patterns in this book are written in U.K. and European terms. U.S. crocheters must take care that they work the correct stitches. One way to tell which system is being used in other patterns is that the American system starts with a single crochet, which the U.K. system doesn't have; so patterns with “sc” in them can be identified as American patterns.

Garden Pals Amigurumi Crochet Pattern


Book Description

Amigurumi is a Japanese word for little stuffed animals. They are usually made from crocheted yarn and have an oversized head. The Japanese word "Ami" means crocheted, and "nuigurumi" means stuffed doll. This is a very easy crochet pattern and great for beginners. The size of the Doll depends on the size of the crochet hook, thickness of yarn and how you stuff them; a bigger hook and thicker yarn makes a bigger doll. A doll stuffed tightly is bigger than one stuffed loosely. Size: The dolls are 3 inches/ 7.5 cm high (excluding ears). This crochet pattern is written with U.S.A. crochet terms: ch = chain, sc = single crochet (UK : dc = double crochet), st = stitch, sl = slip, rnd = round, tog = together. Disclaimer: The finished dolls are not suitable for children under 3 years because of loose parts (the eyes).
