Legs/BodyHead
Instead of making the pants from the scrubs pattern, I will be adding the pants colour to the body…that way, I will only need to make the scrubs top
Black yarn for shoes to end of Rnd 10, then change to dark blue for pants. Work with dark blue for pants to the end of Rnd 22, then change to skin tone in Rnd 23.
I added 10 extra rounds to the arms, legs and body to make the doll a little taller. I also added a few rounds to the sleeves and body of the scrubs top.
Mask
I wanted my mask to be wider in the center, so I worked the starting chain, 4sc, 3hdc, dc to last 7sts, 3hdc, 4sc, ch 1, turn.
Row 2: 1sc, 2sctog, 1sc, 3hdc, dc to last 7sts, 3hdc, 1sc, 2sctog, 1sc, ch 1, turn.
Row 3: 1sc, 2sctog, 3hdc, dc to last 6sts, 3hdc, 2sctog, 1sc…then make ties as per pattern.
Eyebrows
I needle felted some brushed-out grey yarn (same as hair colour) in place over the eyes.
Mini Anatomical Heart
Pattern link above.
Stethoscope
The long ‘body’ of the stethoscope is a length of flat braid using black yarn - pattern link above.
The short end of the stethoscope - also using black yarn I made a chain, then slip stitched back along the chain. Fold piece in half and stitch to one end of the flat braid.
The metal pieces - using metallic thread I made one small dome (start of a ball) and another slightly larger dome…then stitched the two together. Attach to one end of the flat braid.
The ear pieces - (make 2) I worked 6hdc in a magic circle. I pulled up the magic ring, then stitched the circle into a cone shape..stitch one to each end of the chain. Other metal piece is a chain stitched in place.
To avoid increase lines on the bottom of the head,
I ‘split’ or stagger the increases like this;
Up to Rnd 34: As per pattern.
Rnd 35: 2sc, inc, * (4sc, inc) * repeat from * to * to last 2sts - finish the round with 2sc.
Rnd 36: As per pattern.
Rnd 37: 3sc, inc, * (6sc, inc) * repeat from * to * to last 3sts - finish the round with 3sc.
Rnd 38: As per pattern.
Rnd 39: 4sc, inc, * (8sc, inc) * repeat from * to * to last 4sts - finish the round with 4sc.
Rnd 40 and beyond: As per pattern.
So - the pattern hasn’t been altered at all!
You’ve simply moved the increases on all of the ‘even’ rounds and all ‘odd’ rounds remain the same
