A crochet pattern of the genius Albert Einstein. A must for any science lover!

I have designed this pattern to be manageable at an advanced beginner/ intermediate level. To complete it you will need to be able to make a magic ring, chain, single crochet, half double crochet, double crochet, work around post, work into front or back loops, increase, decrease and have basic sewing skills. The pattern contains full step-by-step instructions, tips and photographs as a guide. You will find many useful tutorials online if you are unfamiliar with any of the stitches. The finished doll is approximately 11 inches (28 cms) tall.

MATERIALS NEEDED:

  1. Double knit wool in black, white, light grey, dark grey, and skin colour
  2. 3mm crochet hook
  3. Wool/tapestry sewing needle
  4. Stitch markers and pins
  5. A little toy stuffing
  6. 2 x 8mm black safety eyes
