Crochet Pattern for the Amigurumi Anna Doll

Start crocheting with the arms. Each arm is worked a little differently, so pay attention to this! This is done so the thumbs on the hands are symmetrical (left and right hand).

Arm

Skin color:

1. 6 sc in MR
2. (1 sc, 1 inc) x 3 (9)
3. (2 sc, 1 inc) x 3 (12)
4. (3 sc, 1 inc) x 3 (15)
5-6. 15 sc (2 rounds) (15)
7. 14 sc, 1 popcorn. (15)
8. (3 sc, 1 dec) x 3 (12)
9-12. 12 sc (4 rounds) (15) !on the last stitch of round 12, change color to the dress color!
13. 12 sc (12)
Stuff with fiberfill only the part worked in the body color.
14. 12 sc in the back loops only (12)
15-31. 12 sc (17 rounds) (12)
Fold the piece in half and join with single crochet stitches.

Crochet the second arm the same way as the first, changing only round 7:
11 sc, popcorn, 3 sc (15)

Leg

Shoe color:

1. 6 sc in MR (6)
2. 6 inc (12)
3. (1 sc, 1 inc) x 6 (18)
4. (2 sc, 1 inc) x 6 (24)
5. (3 sc, 1 inc) x 6 (30)
6. 30 sc in the back loops only (30)
7-8. 30 sc (2 rounds) (30)
9. 9 sc, 6 dec, 9 sc (24)
10. 9 sc, 3 dec, 9 sc (21)
11. 1 dec, 15 sc, 2 dec (18)
12. 18 sc (18) !on the last stitch, change color to the sock color!

14-22. 18 sc (9 rounds) (18) !on the last stitch of round 22, change color to the skin color!
23-27. 18 sc (5 rounds) (18)

Use white yarn to crochet the sock edging:

1: inc in each front loop.
2: inc in each front loop.

28. In this round, make three increases in a row in the knee area. To do this, fold the leg in half and attach a marker in the center. Make one increase before the marker, one increase where the marker is, and one increase after the marker. (21)
29. 3 dec, 15 sc (18)
30-31. 18 sc (2 rounds) (18)
32. 3 inc, then crochet single crochet stitches until you reach the knee area (where the increases were in round 28). In this place, make 3 dec, then sc to the marker (18)
33-35. 18 sc (3 rounds) (18)
36. (5 sc, 1 inc) x 3 (21)
37-38. 21 sc (2 rounds) (21)
39. (6 sc, 1 inc) x 3 (24)
40-41. 24 sc (2 rounds) (24)

At the end, make a slip stitch. Work slip stitches around the sole line. Work single crochet stitches around the shoe line.

Crochet the second leg the same way as the first, but on the last stitch of round 41 change color to the underwear color. Then crochet around the same leg with 24 sc in white. Next, crochet 3 ch and join the second leg, crochet around the second leg with 24 sc. Place a marker. Now the legs are joined, and from this point the body rounds begin.

Pull the opening closed. Hide the yarn tail inside.

Wig

1. 6 sc in MR (6)
2. 6 inc (12) in the back loops only
3. (1 sc, 1 inc) x 6 (18) through both loops
4. (2 sc, 1 inc) x 6 (24) in the back loops only
5. (3 sc, 1 inc) x 6 (30) through both loops
6. (4 sc, 1 inc) x 6 (36) in the back loops only
7-8. 36 sc (2 rounds) (36) through both loops

Use the same yarn color that you used for the wig to crochet the curls. Fasten the yarn and crochet chains (I made 60 chains, but you can make fewer if you prefer; the number of ch will determine the length of the curl). Starting in the second chain from the hook, work one single crochet into each ch. Skip one front loop, then work sc into the next one. Chain again, work back along the chain with sc in each ch, and continue crocheting curls along the lines (front loops of the stitches).

Use ball-head pins to attach the wig to the head, tilting it slightly backward. Sew it on.

Skirt

Take the same yarn color used for the dress. Attach the yarn to the front loops (along the line where you worked in the back loops) and crochet double crochet stitches.

1. 2 double crochet stitches in each front loop.
2. Alternate (1 dc, 2 dc in one stitch) to the end of the round.
3-7. dc (5 rounds)

When 4 stitches remain before the end, work them as follows: dc, hdc, sc, sl st. Fasten off and hide the yarn tails.

Face Details

For this, you will need a 0.6 mm crochet hook and embroidery floss (black, brown, and white). Separate the floss and use two strands from the skein.

Crochet the Eyes

If you are going to insert plastic eyes, insert them between rounds 49 and 50. The recommended size is 6-7 mm. The distance between the already inserted eyes should be 4 sc.

Black color:

1. 6 sc in MR (6) !on the last stitch, change color to the iris color!
2. 6 inc (12)
3. (1 sc, 1 inc) x 3, sl st at the end

Tie the yarn tails neatly into a knot and trim the ends. Take one or two strands of embroidery floss in the iris color and carefully sew on the eyes, pinning them in place first. The base of the eye will be on round 48.

Use white embroidery floss to embroider the whites of the eyes and the white highlights on the pupils. With a single strand of black thread, embroider a stitch above each eye (eyelid), then embroider the eyelashes and eyebrows. Add the nose and mouth if desired.

Dress Collar

Attach white yarn at the center back:

• 3 ch
• 9 dc, in the next stitch work 5 tr in one stitch, in the next stitch work 1 dc, then hdc

Then crochet the mirror image:

• 1 dc, 5 tr in one stitch, 9 dc, sl st

Use blush to tint the cheeks.
