Crochet Pattern:
Head:
Magic Ring:
- Make a magic ring with flesh tone yarn.
- Round 1: 6 single crochets in the magic ring. Place a marker in the first stitch for the beginning of the round.
- Round 2: Make 2 single crochets in each stitch around (12 stitches total).
- Rounds 3-19: Single crochet in each stitch around.
- During rounds, increase stitches accordingly to shape the head (specific increases not detailed in the input text).
- Insert safety eyes between the 14th and 15th rounds after round 19.
- Finish round 19 and proceed to add stuffing.
- Continue to decrease in subsequent rounds until the head closes.
Closing the Head:
- Use a yarn needle to sew through the front loops of the last round and pull tight to close. Weave in the end.
Hat:
Starting with Yellow Yarn:
- Repeat magic ring.
- Round 1: 6 single crochets in the magic ring.
- Transition to joined rounds with slip stitches at the end of each round.
- Increase stitches to widen the hat through rounds, switching to red after a few rounds of yellow.
Working with Red Yarn:
- Continue increasing in the red yarn.
- After achieving the desired width and height, switch to white yarn for a few rounds for added design contrast.
- Finish the hat shaping with green yarn following a similar increasing pattern.
- Secure and weave in all ends.
Hair:
- Attach brown yarn to the unused loops from one of the rounds (details about specific round unspecified in the input).
- Chain and half double crochet back into the chain, creating strands. Attach each strand securely.
Adding Details:
Eyelashes:
- Use black embroidery floss to add eyelash details next to each eye.
Cheeks:
- Apply a small amount of blush or equivalent material to create rosy cheeks.
Sewing the Hat to the Head:
- Position the hat over the head securely and sew around using the green yarn. Ensure the hat covers the hairline appropriately.
Ears (Not Detailed in Input):
- Assume similar to head texture. Make two ears, shape, and attach under the hat on each side of the head.
Final Assembly:
- Ensure all parts are securely attached, all ends are woven in, and the doll is neatly finished.
