Before you begin…
This doll is crocheted in the round from the feet to the head as one piece, and the
arms are joined. Try to crochet tightly and keep the same gauge throughout the
doll. Sara is about 11” tall.
To create Sara, I used Paintbox Cotton DK yarn in Light Caramel (skin color),
Midnight Blue (overalls), Vintage Pink (shirt, hair ties and patch detail on
overalls), Mustard Yellow (hair), Pistachio Green (socks and hat detail), Melon
Sorbet (nose), Coffee Bean (hat), Granite Grey (boots, overall buttons, patch
stitching), Pure Black (crow and mouth detail), and Paper White (crow’s eyes). I
also used Aunt Lydia’s Crochet Thread in Black to embroider Sara’s smile.
You are welcome to use any size/color yarn just adjust your hook accordingly and
read any notes or tips for help! If you use a larger yarn and hook size you will need
to use larger safety eyes as well.
How to do a clean F/O…
I use this for the arms and most color changes, if I don’t specify to use this type of
F/O just use a normal F/O. You don’t have to use this technique I just prefer to use
it so that there are not any bumps and it makes for a smoother color change.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN…
I recommend using a permanent washable fabric glue (like Fabri-Tac or something similar)
to glue the hair down to the head – do NOT use tacky glue. I’ve never had a problem with
washing my dolls in the washer and dryer using Fabri-Tac (available at Joann Fabrics) as long
as you use a delicate cycle and low heat tumble (I also put mine in a pillow case). Also if you
prefer you could sew the hair onto the head rather than use glue, but it is a little more time
consuming.
HAIR
R1: magic circle [6]
R2: inc around [12]
TIP: Each st in the magic circle will have 2 strands coming from it – see pictures for
example. So you will have 24 strands in total to make up the hair.
1: ch 25, hdc into 3rd ch from hook, make 22 hdc down then slst into same st you
chained from [23]
2: ch 12, hdc into 3rd ch from hook, make 9 hdc down, slst into next st of the magic
circle [10]
3: ch 12, hdc into 3rd ch from hook, make 9 hdc down then slst into same st you
chained from [10]
4: ch 12, hdc into 3rd ch from hook, make 9 hdc down, slst into next st of the magic
circle [10]
5 & 6: repeat step 3 & 4
7 & 8: repeat step 3 & 4
9: repeat step 3
10: ch 25, hdc into 3rd ch from hook,
make 22 hdc down, slst into next st of the
magic circle [23]
11: ch 32, hdc into 3rd ch from hook,
make 29 hdc down then slst into same st
you chained from [30]
12: ch 32, hdc into 3rd ch from hook,
make 29 hdc down, slst into next st of the
magic circle [30]
13 & 14: repeat step 11 & 12
15 & 16: repeat step 11 & 12
17 & 18: repeat step 11 & 12
19 & 20: repeat step 11 & 12
21 & 22: repeat step 11 & 12
23 & 24: repeat step 11 & 12
At the end of step 24 slst into the
1st st. F/O and weave in end, you do not
need to leave a tail for sewing since we
will be gluing the hair.
Hair Assembly
*After you pin the hair down unpin one strand at a time, glue and repeat! Be
sure to use a glue that is permanent and washable like Fabri-Tac not tacky glue! You
may have some overlap on the hair which is fine.
*Make sure not to glue hair down too low on the face, pay attention to where
I put my sewing pins for where to stop applying glue at. This is so the hair doesn’t
seem too “stiff”.
*After the hair has been glued down and dried, separate the hair strands evenly
(see pictures for reference) and tie them off into pigtails with either pieces of yarn,
ribbon, or elastic hairbands.
Blushes
This is completely optional but I like to use my prismacolor nupastel 286-P
for blush (I use a paintbrush to help smooth it out after I put it on), but you may use
blush, eye shadow, fabric marker, felt, or whatever you prefer to use for blush.
Congratulations! Your Doll is Ready!
