    Be sure to read my Tips and Tricks for Doll Faces before you begin!
     (and all of my free doll tutorials here!)



    Head 
    (For some tips on how to keep the head from wobbling read this!)
    Round 1: In a magic circle, 6 SC.
    Round 2: SC INC in each around. (12)
    Round 3: SC in first, SC INC in next. Repeat around. (18)
    Round 4: SC in first 2, SC INC in next. Repeat around. (24)
    Round 5: SC in first 3, SC INC in next. Repeat around. (30)
    Round 6: SC in first 4, SC INC in next. Repeat around. (36)
    Round 7: SC in first 5, SC INC in next. Repeat around. (42)
    Round 8: SC in first 6, SC INC in next. Repeat around. (48)
    Round 9: SC in first 7, SC INC in next. Repeat around. (54)
    Round 10-20: SC in each stitch around. (54)
    Place the safety eyes in between rows 15 and 16, eight stitches apart. Sew on eyelashes. See “Best Tips and Tricks for Amigurumi.”
    Round 21: SC in the first 7, INV DEC in the next. Repeat around. (48)
    Round 22: SC in the first 6, INV DEC in the next. Repeat around. (42)
    Round 23: SC in the first 5, INV DEC in the next. Repeat around. (36)
    Round 24:  SC in the first 4, INV DEC in the next. Repeat around. (30)
    Round 25: SC in the first 3, INV DEC in the next. Repeat around. (24)
    Round 26: SC in the first 2, INV DEC in the next. Repeat around. (18)
    Round 27: SC in the first, INV DEC in the next. Repeat around. (12)
    Round 28: INV DEC around. (6)
    Fasten off and carefully sew the remaining hole closed. Leave a long tail to make the nose.

    Arms
    Round 1: In a magic circle, SC 5 . (6)
    Round 2: INC in each around. (10)
    Rounds 3-20: SC in each stitch around (10)
    Stuff very lightly (and not all the way to the top), flatten the tops, and attach to body. I sew them on between rows 34 and 35.

    Bikini Top
    The pattern will be very different depending on what yarn and hook you use as well as stuffing preferences... But I chain to the desired length (make sure it wraps around the doll JUST BARELY. It will grow a little as you crochet into it) and add SC or HDC rows to desired length. I did 4. Then sew it up! Then I use a piece of yarn and connect it to the middle front and tie in the back like an actual swim suit top!

    Now you need to add some hair! This post will tell you everything you need to know!
