Let’s start crocheting.

1 . 6 sc in magic round ( 6 sts )

2. 6 inc ( 12 sts )

3.( sc, inc ) * 6 = ( 18 sts )

4. ( 2 sc, inc ) * 6 = ( 24 sts )

5. ( 3 sc, inc ) * 6 = ( 30 sts )

6. ( 4 sc, inc ) * 6 = ( 36 sts )

7. ( 5 sc, inc ) * 6 = ( 42 sts )

8. ( 6 sc, inc ) * 6 = ( 48 sts )

Round 9-12 sc 48

There is a photograph after the 12th round.

13 . sc 17 , ( dec, sc )*5 , sc 7, dec, sc 7 = ( 42 sts )

14. sc 7 , dec, sc 31, dec = ( 40 sts )

15. sc 6, dec, sc 3 , (inc, sc)*9, inc, 3 sc, dec, sc 5 = ( 48 sts )

16. sc 5, dec, sc 35, dec, sc 4 = ( 46 sts )

17. sc 4, dec, sc 35, dec, sc 3 = ( 44 sts )

Use the crochet hook ( 1.1 ) from the next round

21. dec, sc 6, dec 12 , sc 6 = ( 25 sts)

22. sc 6, dec 7 , sc 5 = ( 18 sts )

23. sc 5, dec 4 , sc 5 = ( 14 sts )

Now stuff the head with stuffing material. I use fiberfill. Stuff gently, not too fast. Firstly, stuff the back of the head, and then the cheeks. The result looks like this. Front view and side view.

24. sc 14

25. (sc, inc ) *7 = ( 21 sts )

Round 3- sc 16

Round 4- sc 16

Round 5- sc 16

Round 6- sc 16

Round 7 – 13 sc ,( 4 dc in one stitch)*2 , sc =( 22 sts )

There is a photograph after the 7th round.

Round 8 . – 22 sс

Round 9 – single crochet 22 to the end of the round + single crochet 7. End the work in the middle of the heel. Leave a long thread

The right leg.

Secure a thread to the first stitch of the right leg. See the photograph.

This secured thread will be the last stitch in the round when counting stitches.

Round 1 – 20 sc

Round 2 – ( dec, sc 8) * 2 = ( 18 sts )

Round 3 – ( dec, sc 7) * 2 = ( 16 sts)

Round 4- sc 16

Round 5- sc 16

Round 6- sc 16

Round 7 – sc 13 ,( 4 dc in one stitch)*2, sc = ( 22 sts )

Round 8 – 22 sts

Round 9 – 22 sts to the end of the round + 7 sts. End the work in the middle of the heel. Leave a long thread.

Foot.

Now let us work the foot.

Chain 5 and start in the second stitch from the hook.

3 sc, now 4 sc in the next stitch, continue to crochet around the chain, 3 sc, 3 sc in the next stitch. Now crochet around a sole one more time in around.

Sc 3, inc, 2 sc, inc, sc, sl st. Secure leaving a long end of the thread.

Glue in the wrong side. Like this. On the edge, there should be visible loops. You will sew the foot through these loops. Sew the foot in the leg.

Leave a small opening and complete stuffing the leg firmly through it. Sew the opening.

Work the second leg similarly.

Take a long thread and embroider the belly button.

That is what we should get at this stage.

Let us start crocheting the hands. Secure a thread.

Rounds 1-5 – 9 sc.

Stuff the hand.

Round 6, decrease 2 times equally = ( 7 sts)

Round 7 – 5 sc, bobble ( 3 sc with one top work into the same loop) ,sc.

Stuff the hand gently.

Round 8- 7 sc

Round 9 – decrease 4 and tighten the opening with the help of the needle. Crochet the second hand.

 You should have a little baby like this.

Eyes.

I use 3-4 mm glass eyes with wire loops.

Try the position of the eyes. Place a stitch marker.

I will show you how to attach the eyes on the example of another doll.

We need a strong thread (I use a dental floss) and 4 mm glass eyes with a wire loop.

Place the eyes. Thread the needle and insert into the eye. Compress the loop of the eye gently with the help of the pliers. Insert the needle in the place for the eye and come out in the back head. Firstly insert the one end of the thread. After that, thread the different end of the thread and work similarly, just pull the thread 1- 2 mm to the right. Tighten, insert the eye and tie a few knots. Hide the ends of thread inside the head and cut.
