PATTERN: BOTTOM-UP / LEVEL: BEGINNER-INTERMEDIATE

Create your own cupid doll with curly hair, shorts, wings, a halo and a heart.


For this project you’ll need:

Suggested materials:

  • 1.5 mm crochet hook with super fine weight yarn (1/Fingering) in the colours of your choice for the skin, the wings, the shorts and the halo
  • 2 mm crochet hook with fine weight yarn (2/Sport) in the colours of your choice for the hair and the heart
  • 7 mm safety eyes or buttons
  • Scissors
  • Tapestry needle
  • Stuffing fibre
  • Blush makeup (optional)
  • Handicraft wire or a piece of a wooden stick (optional)

Yarn information:

For this project, I used:

  • Super fine weight yarn (1/Fingering) Anne 100% cotton from Círculo Produtos
  • Fine weight yarn (2/Sport) Bella 100% cotton from Fios Pingouin

Size:

My finished piece measures approximately 16 cm. However, the size of your finished item may vary depending on your yarn tension and the materials used. If you’re using a different hook or yarn size, be sure to adjust the placement and size of the eyes accordingly.

My abbreviations (based on US terms):

  • MR - magic ring
  • ST - stitch
  • CH - chain
  • SL ST - slip stitch
  • SC - single crochet
  • INC - increase (2sc in the same st)
  • DEC - decrease (sc 2 together)
  • HDC - half double crochet
  • DC - double crochet
  • HTR - half treble crochet
  • TR - treble crochet
  • ( )xNUMBER - number of times you have to repeat everything inside the brackets
  • square brackets - total number of stitches on the row

Tips:

  • If you’re unfamiliar with any crochet stitches used in this pattern, try searching YouTube for “stitch name + tutorial.” You’ll find plenty of beginner-friendly, detailed video guides.

  • Rows without a mention of a chain between them are worked in continuous rounds. To keep track, use a stitch marker to mark the last stitch of each row.

  • In crochet, yarn over (YO) and yarn under (YU) refer to how the yarn is wrapped around the hook when making stitches. Yarn over (bringing the yarn over the hook from back to front) is the standard technique and is used throughout all my patterns unless stated otherwise. Yarn under (bringing the yarn under the hook from front to back) creates tighter stitches and a firmer fabric. Using yarn under instead of yarn over may result in slight differences, such as a smaller final piece, more visible slip stitches, and a firmer, less soft texture.
