Rnd 2. Inc x 8. (16)
Rnd 3-11. 16sc. (16)

Follow the video to put the legs together.

This is the pattern for when the legs are already together and the rectangular part you made is already sewn and attached as well. We will continue from where we left of from the legs with the number of rounds.

Rnd 16. (5sc. Inc.) x 9. (63)
Rnd 17-18. 63sc. (63)

Rnd 32-34. 60sc. (60)

Don’t forget to stuff along the way. Make sure to put a good amount of stuffing so she can stand.

Rnd 41. (1sc. Dec.) x 6. (6)
FO. Sew gap closed.

Hands: Follow the pattern for the hands in the video. You can either sew the hands into the arm holes or glue them. Gluing them didn’t work as well. I sewed them on instead. Since you are using medium worsted yarn to sew the hands into the arms, you won’t see the seams as much because the Bernat Blanket yarn is so thick, it hides the yarn in its fluffiness.

Feet (Make 2):

Rnd 1. Use cream color medium worsted for this. 6sc in magic circle. (6)
Rnd 2. Inc x 6. (12)

Rnd 9. Crochet in the back loops only here. 48sc. (48)
Rnd 10. (6sc. Inc.) x 6. (42)
Rnd 11. (5sc. Inc.) x 6. (36)
Rnd 12. (4sc. Inc.) x 6. (30)
Rnd 13. (3sc. Inc.) x 6. (24)
Rnd 14. (2sc. Inc.) x 6. (18)
Rnd 13. (1sc. Inc.) x 6. (12)
Rnd 12. Inc x 6. (6)
FO. Sew gap closed.
Please watch the video on how to make the toes. There are three on each foot. Then, same with the hands, you can either sew or glue them on. I sewed them on.

For the eyes, please see the video for clearer instructions. Position the middle of the buttons 10-11 stitches apart. Insert them between Rnds 14 and 15 of the head. The total height of your doll is approximately 9.5 inches.

How to Make My Melody

February 5, 2024February 5, 2024Nikki Zeo

A couple of weeks ago I posted something about my daughter’s 1st birthday. It’s a bunny theme and I decided to make little bunnies for party favors. I also made a My Melody for her. I’ve decided to give this pattern for free here on my website.

Level: Intermediate, must have some sewing and embroidery experience

Type of stitch used to sew pieces together: Whip stitch

NOTE: Stuff as you go along. The only thing not stuffed is the flower.

Materials:

Medium worsted yarn. I used Red Heart Super Saver. Pink, purple, gold, brown, white and cream colors.
Stuffing
Darning needle
Scissors

(1sc in next 2st. 2sc in st.) x 6. (24)
1sc in each st. For 23 rows. See Figure 1. (24)
Connect the 2 ears together. Make sure that you skip 4 stitches from each ear. So you are skipping a total of 8 stitches. This video will show you what I mean by connecting the ears together: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7t7KPY50tk&ab_channel=GoldenJellyBean. See figure 1, 2 and 37. Sew the gap between the ears closed. (40)

(1sc in next 4st. 2sc in st) x 10. (60)
1sc in each st for 5 rows. (60)
Crochet until you have about 5 stitches away from the end of the row. Fold your work in half as shown in Figure 5. Each half (front and back) should have 30 stitches each. You will be changing color to cream. The middle of the front should have 10 stitches of white. If you would like to follow what I did for mine, the last stitch from the last row was cream. Then the rest of the 9 cream stitches started the next row. Then do this: (1sc in next 4st. 2sc in st.) x 9. 1sc in the next st. Change to cream. 1sc in next 4st. See Figures 6-9.
