Materials
To make this detailed figure, you’ll need 100% cotton or acrylic yarn with a 2 mm thickness in several colors: Skin tone, Dark Brown, Black, a Base color (like Purple/Colorado), a small amount of Yellow, and Khaki (for the broom).
You’ll also need a 2 mm crochet hook, 5 mm safety eyes with backings, fiberfill stuffing, a tapestry needle, and a stitch marker. Crucially, gather a piece of cardboard or plastic for the base, a wooden stick or skewer for the broom, and some silicone glue.
Special Features, Difficulty, and Tutor Suggestions
- Special Features: The doll has a stable, flat base, achieved by gluing a piece of rigid material (cardboard or plastic) inside the bottom of the body, allowing her to stand freely. For extra security, the tutor demonstrates using a lighter to melt and flatten the backings of the safety eyes, locking them in place.
- Level of Difficulty: This project is rated Intermediate. You should be comfortable with amigurumi construction, changing colors, increasing and decreasing stitches, and performing techniques like crocheting in the back loop only (BLO).
- Tutor Suggestions:
- Secure the Eyes: The technique of lightly heating and pressing the safety eye backings is recommended for permanent, child-safe attachment.
- Accurate Base: Be sure to trace and cut the cardboard base after you have completed Round 5 of the body to ensure a perfectly snug fit for gluing.
