This astrophysicist may have his issues, but Raj is ready to discover new nebulae or to visit the La Brea Tar Pits. He is wearing a colorful sweater with a track jacket. This pattern combines my love of design with one of my favorite TV shows. Raj is just one of the characters I’ve designed for crocheters looking for something on the nerdy side.

Gauge is not important as long as you have a dense fabric without noticeable holes.

Materials needed:

• worsted weight yarn
• crochet hook
• 2 9mm 2-piece black plastic eyes
• polyester fiber fill
• stitch marker
• row counter

This is a small doll (6” / 15 cm), so you don’t need very much of any color yarn. You will need yarn for:

• hair
• skin
• sweater vest
• sweater vest stripe
• shirt
• jacket
• pants
• shoes
