Bratz inspired doll


Materials needed: • DK yarn in flash color of your choice • Stuffing of your choice • Cotton darning needle or needle for doll sewing to connect the limbs to

the body • Embroidery needle to close the last rounds on each piece made • Embroidery thread in black, white and eye color of your choice for eyes • Crochet hook 2,0mm for doll making • Crochet hook 1,25mm for eyes making • Tiny bit of white textile paint to add spark on doll’s eyes • Powder blush for cheeks or oil based pastel (works great as well and is

long lasting-if using pastel, have one cotton bud to work over pastel, once color added on cheek)

• Textile glue (if you like to use it for eyes) Gauge: 8 stitches x 8 rows in 1 square inch not important if you are creating doll for fun. Required if you are looking to reach similar size to Bratz doll. Abbreviations: R – round Sc – single crochet St(s) – stitch(es) Ch - chain Inc – increase, made by making 2 single crochets in one stitch Dec – decrease, one stitch made out of two stitches ( I used invisible decrease) ** - repeat what between stars as many times as it indicated with x(n) you will find right after

This is basic doll body pattern! There are two more parts to connect to this one:

1. How to sew the limbs 2. How to create doll’s hair from satin ribbon

******************************************


Head Sc6 in magic ring R1 inc6 (12 sts) R2 *inc1, sc1* x6 (18 sts) R3 *inc1, sc2* x6 (24 sts) R4 *inc1, sc3* x6 (30 sts) R5 *inc1, sc4* x6 (36 sts) R6-R13 sc36 R14 inc3, sc2, 4sc in one st, sc2, inc3, sc25 (48 sts) R15 sc8, dec2, sc33 (43 sts) R16 sc8, dec1, sc33 (42 sts) R17 dec1, sc4, dec1, sc1, dec1, sc4, dec2, sc21, dec1 (36 sts) R18 sc36 R19 *dec1, sc4* x6 (30 sts) R20 *dec1, sc3* x6 (24 sts) R21 *dec1, sc2* x6 (18 sts) Stuff the head nice and firm. R22 *dec1, sc1* x6 (12 sts)


At this point you can needle sculpt the face. Thread your darning needle with same color thread as used for the body, make knot on one end and from the head’s opening in the bottom, push the needle up to place where the eyes will be added later. Wrap one stitch with thread and push the needle down, through the stuffing and out through the head opening. Repeat the same for the second eye. This will point the nose we created earlier a little and eyes will fit the face nicely. Do not fasten off. Continuing to work on body from now on. Add more stuffing if needed. Continue stuffing as you go. Body R22-R24 sc12 R25 *inc1, sc1* x6 (18 sts) R26 *inc1, sc2* x6 (24 sts) R27 *inc1, sc3* x6 (30 sts) R28 sc30 R29 *dec1, sc3* x6 (24) Mark after this round.

R4 sc5, dec4, sc5 (14 sts) R5 sc3, dec4, sc3 (10 sts) Stuff the foot. Continue stuffing the leg as you go. Leg needs to be stuffed nice and firm. R6 sc3, dec2, sc3 (8 sts) R7-R11 sc8 R12 sc2, inc1, sc5 (9 sts) R13-R14 sc9 R15 sc3, inc1, sc5 (10 sts) R16-R17 dc10 R18 sc4, inc1, sc5 (11 sts) R19-R20 sc11 R21sc5, inc1, sc5 (12 sts) R22-R23 sc12 R24 sc3, dec4, sc1 (8 sts) R25 *inc1, sc1* x4 (12 sts) R26-R28 sc12 R29 sc8, inc1, sc3 (13 sts) R30-R32 sc13 R33 sc9, inc1, sc3 (14 sts) R34-R36 sc14 R37 sc10, inc1, sc3 (15 sts) R38-R43 sc15 R44 *dec1, sc1* x5 (10 sts) R44 dec5 (5 sts) Tie off, stuff the leg and close the last round nicely. Hide the thread inside the leg. Arms Sc4 in magic ring R1 *inc1, sc1* x2 (6 sts) R2-R4 sc6 R5 *dec1, sc1* x2 (4 sts) R6 *inc1, sc1* x2 (6 sts) R7-R16 sc6 R17 inc1, sc5 (7 sts) R18-R27 sc7 R28 dec1, sc1 around fasten off and sew the last round nicely You can stuff lower arm part lightly. Nice and firm you must stuff top of the arm, before closing it. This way it will connect nicely to the body later. Eyes – crochet Start with black


sc5 in magic ring R1 increase5 (10 sts) R2 change color to eye color to eye, BLO sl st to next stitch, sc, 2hdc, sc, sl st – ctu the yarn and pul it out from the loop change color to white R3 Return to 1 sl st of eye color worked R2 and working in Blo, pull out white thread. sc, hdc, sc, sl st (cut thread and pul it out from the loop) cut all threads to 5 mm length and glue them on the back of the eye. Let it all dry. You can glue the eyes on the face or you can sew them on with floss thread (so called invisible thread). If you like to add eyelashes, cut six pieces of black thread of about 2 cm long, and wave them to three sided loops on each eye (black part). glue the back of loops so eye lashes don’t fall out when cut short. Once dried, cut the eyelashes to 2-3 mm length and curl hem towards forward, over eye. I added white eye sparks with textile paint (because the eyes were very tiny and hard, difficult to sew white over the black). Position the eyes right above nose round. There is no right or wrong way to position them. Choose best place and space between them.
