This pattern uses US crochet terminology see below for abbreviation examples.

Abbreviations

US Terms

Materials 2.00 mm crochet hook DK or Worsted weight yarn in a variety of colors See the “Before you begin...” section for exact yarn yarn needle sewing pins 2 - 6mm safety eyes stitch marker or extra piece of yarn scissors soft stuffing fabric glue blush, oil pastel or light pink fabric marker pipe cleaner/chenille stem in color of choice

Before you begin...

This doll is crocheted in the round from the feet to the head as one piece, and the arms are joined. Try to crochet tightly and keep the same gauge throughout the doll. Sara is about 11” tall.

To create Sara, I used Paintbox Cotton DK yarn in Light Caramel (skin color), Midnight Blue (overalls), Vintage Pink (shirt, hair ties and patch detail on overalls), Mustard Yellow (hair), Pistachio Green (socks and hat detail), Melon Sorbet (nose), Coffee Bean (hat), Granite Grey (boots, overall buttons, patch stitching), Pure Black (crow and mouth detail), and Paper White (crow’s eyes). I also used Aunt Lydia’s Crochet Thread in Black to embroider Sara’s smile. You are welcome to use any size/color yarn just adjust your hook accordingly and read any notes or tips for help! If you use a larger yarn and hook size you will need to use larger safety eyes as well.

How to do a clean F/O...

I use this for the arms and most color changes, if I don’t specify to use this type of F/O just use a normal F/O. You don’t have to use this technique I just prefer to use it so that there are not any bumps and it makes for a smoother color change.

Insert your yarn needle into the 2nd st from your F/O and pull yarn through

Insert your yarn needle down into the middle of the last sc you made on the last round (where you F/O’d) and pull the yarn through

This is what it should look like when you’re done Copyright © 2018 by Rachel M. Randle, Sleepy Sheep Patterns, All Rights Reserved. This pattern is for personal use only!

Repeat again to have a thicker “band”

Tie the yarn ends into a bow and knot off the ends, trimming excess yarn until you’ve reached the length you desire. The ribbon is completely optional and you could easily use real ribbon (fabric glue or sewing) or crochet a band if you prefer otherwise.

Before you begin...

I recommend using a permanent washable fabric glue (like Fabri-Tac or something similar) to glue the hair down to the head - do NOT use tacky glue. I’ve never had a problem with washing my dolls in the washer and dryer using Fabri-Tac (available at Joann Fabrics) as long as you use a delicate cycle and low heat tumble (I also put mine in a pillow case). Also if you prefer you could sew the hair onto the head rather than use glue, but it is a little more time consuming.

Hair Use a 2.00mm hook and Mustard Yellow yarn

R1: magic circle [6] R2: inc around [12]

TIP: Each st in the magic circle will have 2 strands coming from it - see pictures for example. So you will have 24 strands in total to make up the hair. 1: ch 25, hdc into 3rd ch from hook, make 22 hdc down then slst into same st you chained from [23] 2: ch 12, hdc into 3rd ch from hook, make 9 hdc down, slst into next st of the magic circle [10] 3: ch 12, hdc into 3rd ch from hook, make 9 hdc down then slst into same st you chained from [10] 4: ch 12, hdc into 3rd ch from hook, make 9 hdc down, slst into next st of the magic circle [10]

Step 1 Ex. slst into same st you chained from

Step 2 Ex. slst into the next st of mc (2 strands in each st)

Step 3 Ex. ch 12

F/O and weave in end, you do not need to leave a tail for sewing since we will be gluing the hair.

Hair Assembly

[email protected] instagram.com/sleepysheeppatterns/ www.etsy.com/shop/sleepysheeppatterns/

Once you have completed all 24 strands you will slst into the 1st st.

Completed Hair

After you pin the hair down unpin one strand at a time, glue and repeat! Be sure to use a glue that is permanent and washable like Fabri-Tac not tacky glue! You may have some overlap on the hair which is fine. Make sure not to glue hair down too low on the face, pay attention to where I put my sewing pins for where to stop applying glue at. This is so the hair doesn’t seem too “stiff”. After the hair has been glued down and dried, separate the hair strands evenly (see pictures for reference) and tie them off into pigtails with either pieces of yarn, ribbon, or elastic hairbands.

Getting Dressed Tips

Pull the shirt on over her feet

Pull the overalls on.

Work her arm through the 1st sleeve, you will have to pinch and squeeze the hand through.

Criss-cross the straps on the back of the overalls.

Pull the arm through the 2nd sleeve.

Fasten the straps onto the buttons and roll up her pants legs.

Pinch the feet and pull the boots on, they may be a little difficult to work on at first. Fold the “lip” of each boot down. Copyright © 2018 by Rachel M.

Getting Dressed Tips

Continued...

Put Sara’s hat on - your doll is now dressed!

Blushes This is completely optional but I like to use my prismacolor nupastel 286-P for blush (I use a paintbrush to help smooth it out after I put it on), but you may use blush, eye shadow, fabric marker, felt, or whatever you prefer to use for blush!
