I hope you guys all had a fabulous weekend and was enjoy some sunshine. Today is actually a holiday for us in British Columbia (Canada)! If you don't already know, I come from the beautiful city of Vancouver, BC. So if you are a local here, Happy BC Day!
Mondays are usually so... BLAH! But during the month of August, I will be publishing a part of the crochet-along for the Mini Mimi doll base crochet pattern. So at least there's something to look forward to, right?
Anyway, enough nonsense! Are you excited about the first part of this crochet-along? Let's get started, shall we? If you need a reference here is the list of materials.
Mini Mimi Amigurumi Doll Crochet Pattern
Head
Using a 3.0 mm crochet hook with skin color yarn...
Round 1: Magic Ring with a base of 6 sc (6 sts)
Round 2: Sc inc in each st around (12 sts)
Round 3: [Sc, sc inc] x 6 times (18 sts)
Round 4: [Sc, sc inc, sc] x 6 times (24 sts)
Round 5: [3 sc, sc inc] x 6 times (30 sts)
Round 6: [2 sc, sc inc, 2 sc] x 6 times (36 sts)
Round 7: [5 sc, sc inc] x 6 times (42 sts)
Round 8: Sc in each st around (42 sts)
Round 9: [3 sc, sc inc, 3sc] x 6 times (48 sts)
Round 10-17: Sc in each st around (48 sts)
Round 18: [4 sc, sc dec] x 8 times (40 sts)
Round 19: Sc in each st around (40 sts)
Before you start decreasing your stitches and the size of the opening, make sure you put in your safety eyes. I put them between rounds 12 and 13 and they're 10 sts apart.
Stuff the head with poly-fil firmly as you go.
Round 20: [Sc, sc dec, sc] x 10 times (30 sts)
Round 21: [Sc, sc dec] x 10 times (20 sts)
Round 22: Sc dec in each st around (10 sts)
Round 23: Sc BLO in each st around (10 sts)
Round 24-28: Sc in each st around (10 sts)
Cut and fasten off.
At this point, you might be wondering why the heck is the neck so abnormally long???
Well, What I want you to do next is to push that long tube of a neck into the doll's head. This will create a sturdier and more balanced head on the neck of the doll later on.
The head can also pivot and rotate!
It will take some effort to get it in. I injured my nail at one point trying to get that stupid neck inside. Just be careful and work it starting from the base of the stem (closest to the head).
And then at some point, you'll get it in...
Woohoo! Celebrate time!
