THE CHILD By Philae Artes
Image #1 Height: 4 inches (10 cm)
Materials that you will use: – Yarn colors: cream and green. I use Brazilian brands' cotton yarns ‐ our default size measures 100g/200m (217 yds). Since different countries measure in different ways, you may have to check your yarn size. The most important thing is to use the correct hook size to your yarn. – fabric glue (optional); – acrylic fiber (to stuff); – a pair of black safety eyes (13mm); – crochet hook (3.0mm); – tapestry needle, scissors and pins.

Pattern HEAD AND BODY Green yarn. Rnd. 1: 6 sc in magic circle (6) Rnd. 2: Inc x6 (12) Rnd. 3: *sc in the next st, inc* x6 (18) Rnd. 4: *sc in the next 2 st, inc* x6 (24) Rnd. 5: *sc in the next 3 st, inc* x6 (30) Rnd. 6: *sc in the next 4 st, inc* x6 (36) Rnd. 7-11: sc in each sc (36) Rnd. 12: *sc in the next 4 st, dec* x6 (30) Rnd. 13: *sc in the next 3 st, dec* x6 (24) Place the eyes between rows 8 and 9, separated by about 6 points. Depending on your work, the eyes may need a different location. Be careful in this part, because this is the main detail that will make your doll look like the character. Rnd. 14: *sc in the next 2 st, dec* x6 (18) Stuff. Rnd. 15: *sc in the next st, dec* x6 (12) Change to cream color yearn. Rnd. 16: sc in each sc (12) Rnd. 17: Inc x 12 (24) Rnd. 18: *sc in the next 3 st, inc* x6 (30) Rnd. 19-20: sc in each sc (30) Rnd. 21: *sc in the next 4 st, inc* x6 (36) Rnd. 22: *sc in the next 5 st, inc* x6 (42) Rnd. 23-25: sc in each sc (42) Just in the next round, you will work only using the back loop (this will make the piece turn in to be the base of the doll – check image #2): Rnd. 26: sc in each sc (42) Rnd. 27: *sc in the next 5 st, dec* x6 (36) Rnd. 28: *sc in the next 4 st, dec* x6 (30) Rnd. 29: *sc in the next 3 st, dec* x6 (24) Rnd. 30: *sc in the next 2 st, dec* x6 (18) Stuff, but very careful at this point. Keep in mind that the center of the base of the doll will not touch the ground, in fact the base is concave (slightly rounded inside). This format will give the doll more stability. See the image #2 to check how the base will look when you finish the piece. So when stuffing, don't put too much, otherwise you won't be able to push the base later. Rnd. 31: *sc in the next st, dec* x6 (12) Rnd. 32: Dec x6 (6) Finish and leave a long tail. Using the tapestry needle, use this tail to close the last stiches, then insert the needle right into the center of this base, pulling it out until it comes out on the back of the doll. Our goal is to make the base concave and well trapped, as I explained in round 30. Tie a simple knot on the back of the head and hide the end of the tail inside it. To ensure that the base is rounded, model with your hands until the fiber is in the place you want and the shape is correct. 3
ARMS x2 Green yarn. Rnd. 1: 6 sc in magic circle (6) Rnd. 2: *sc in the next st, inc* x3 (9) Rnd. 3: sc in each sc (9) Change to cream color yarn. Rnd. 4-6: sc in each sc (9) Stuff only the hand, not the arm. Rnd. 7: *sc in the next st, dec* x3 (6) Finish and leave a long tail to sew it later to the body. SLEEVES x2 Cream color yarn. Chain 13 and start in the second chain from the hook: Rnd. 1: 12 sc (one sc in each chain), then chain 1 and turn. Rnd. 2: 12 sc (one sc in each st). Finish and leave a long tail to sew it later to the arms. COLLAR Cream color yarn. Chain 36 and start in the second chain from the hook: Rnd. 1-5: 35 sc (one sc in each chain/st). Always finish each round doing one chain and turn. Finish and leave a long tail. You have a rectangle, right? Use this tail to sew the tips, having then the collar. Hide this tail inside. Now let's do the detail that stands in front of the collar, which is nothing more than making a 5-point chain. With the tapestry needle, sew this little chain in front of the collar and hide like tips on the inside. EARS x2 Green yarn. Leave a long starting tail (as we will use it to sew the ear on the doll afterwards) and chain 9. Start in the second chain from the hook: Rnd. 1: 8 sc (one sc in each chain). From here, always finish every round doing 1 chain and turning the piece. Rnd. 2: 1 dec, 6 sc (7) Rnd. 3: 1 dec, 3 sc, 1 dec (5) Rnd. 4: 1 dec, 3 sc (4) Rnd. 5: 1 dec, 2 sc (3) Rnd. 6: 1 dec, 1 sc (2) Rnd. 7: 1 Dec (1). Finish off and hide this tail behind the ear. Details Now that we already have all the pieces, let's put them together! Remember that for this, let's use the tapestry needle. All remaining tails must be hidden in the body. Before sewing everything, I usually use pins to attach all the parts, then I know where to put or glue them and see how is going to be like when I finish. 4
- Start by sewing the sleeves on the arms. Each sleeve should be positioned just before starting the green yarn (hand). Look at the image #3. - Sew the arms to the body. - Now position the collar around the neck. Use fabric glue or sew. - Only now you can sew the ears. Position them where you think it's ideal. Notice in the image #4 that the base of the ears is sewn inwards, giving the feeling that they warp. You did it! Is it the same as image #1?

Do not redistribute this PDF file. But it is amazing if you sell the amigurumi doll, just please mention my brand (@philaeartes). Attention: Don’t leave small amigurumi pieces near unattended children due to risk of swallowing it. Also, keep in mind that is always better to use anti-allergic yarn if the amigurumi is going to be constantly manipulated (used as a toy).
I hope you enjoyed doing this crochet project!
