Both arms are knitted in Light Apricot color , like the rest of the doll, in spiral single crochet turns. As with the second leg, you’ll first need to attach the yarn to the arm opening and knit from there.
- Crochet the arm in a spiral with Light Apricot yarn .
- Row 1: To start, tie a knot with the thread that is large enough to not pass through a stitch. Next, pass the needle through the point directly in the “armpit” of the doll. Make a loop with the needle and pass it through the stitch. Pull the thread until the knot will not allow you to pull any further. You will have 1 loop on the needle.
- Now pass the needle through the next stitch (the one directly on the opposite side, as shown in the pictures), tighten the thread and knit 1 sc.
- Knit 8 sc and you will have finished the first round of the arm. Crochet the last sc into the last stitch you threaded through at the beginning (9 stitches).
- Round 2: 9 sc (9 stitches).
- Round 3: 4 sc, 1 inc, 4 sc (10 stitches).
- Round 4-6: 3 rounds, each round 10 sc (10 stitches).
- Finishing: Cut the thread leaving a good margin to be able to knit another 5 stitches later and close the opening. Continue with the right arm crochet pattern (“Crochet Doll’s Right Arm”).
Crochet the Right Arm of the Doll
The right arm is knitted in Light Apricot color , in spiral single crochet turns. As we have done previously, the first thing is to join the thread to the arm and then weave.
- Row 1: To start, tie a knot with the thread that is large enough to not pass through a stitch. Next, pass the needle through the point directly in the “armpit” of the doll. Make a loop with the needle and pass it through the stitch. Pull the thread until the knot will not allow you to pull any further. You will have 1 loop on the needle.
- Now pass the needle through the next stitch and knit 1 sc.
- Knit 8 sc and you will have finished the first round of the arm. Crochet the last sc into the last stitch you threaded through at the beginning (9 stitches).
- Round 2: 9 sc (9 stitches).
- Round 3: 4 sc, 1 inc, 4 sc (10 stitches).
- Round 4-6: 3 rounds, each round 10 sc (10 stitches).
- Finishing: Do not cut the thread, continue in the section «Finishing the Crochet Doll».
Finish the Crochet Doll
To finish, fill the body, legs and arms with polyester padding. To do this, you first have to stuff the body through the openings for the arms and legs, and then the limbs.
Once you’ve stuffed the body with enough polyester, it’s time to close the openings.
- Close the legs: [1 dec] x 6 (6 points).
- Finishing: Close the opening and hide the excess pieces of yarn.
- Close the arms: [1 dec] x 5 (5 points).
- Finishing: Close the opening and hide the excess pieces of yarn.
READY!
