Maggie the Little Doll
Maggie the Little Doll is the epitome of our youngest generation. As an early teen, she is figuring out who she is and who she wants to be. She has so much time to explore – she can be anyone or anything! The possibilities are only limited by her imagination.
Difficulty: Intermediate, US terminology
Materials:
2.5mm hook/C-2 (US)
4ply yarn/fingering
Less than 50g yarn in BLACK, SKIN, BLUE, WATERMELON and LIME
7mm safety eyes
Scissors
Tapestry needle
Polyester toy stuffing
Stitch marker
Abbreviations:
ch = chain
MR = magic ring
sc = single crochet
hdc = half double crochet
dc = double crochet
inc = single crochet increase (2 sc in one stitch)
dec = decrease (sc 2 together)
sl st = slip stitch
BLO = back loops only
(..) = repeat the space in brackets the given number of times
.. = total number of stitches
Notes:
A yarn with no stretch is best for amigurumi, I ordinarily use cotton or cotton blend.
Amigurumi is usually stitched in the round (unless it says otherwise).
For this pattern, the following yarns were used:
o BLACK = Hobbii Rainbow 8/4 cotton in “9 Black”
o SKIN = Hobbii Rainbow 8/4 cotton in “88 Toffee”
o BLUE = Hobbii Cotton Kings 8/4 in “28 Sky Blue”
o WATERMELON = Hobbii Rainbow 8/4 cotton in “51 Coral”
o LIME = Hobbii Rainbow 8/4 cotton in “74 Dusty Lime”
I crochet loosely and use a 2.5mm hook with 4ply yarn. Generally, the hook you use for amigurumi will be a smaller than for other crochet as you want the stitches tight to keep stuffing from showing and for any attachments to stay in place.
The yarn thickness and hook size used will affect the size of the finished item. My Maggie the Little Doll is approximately 20cm tall (7 ¾ inches).
I have used safety eyes for this pattern but you may embroider. Please ensure that there are no loose fittings.
