Instructions:
Doll:
- Start with the head. This typically involves crocheting in rounds, increasing at the beginning of rounds to create a sphere. Here is an example:
- Round 1: 6 single crochets in magic ring (6 sc)
- Round 2: Increase in each stitch (12 sc)
- Round 3: Increase in every other stitch (18 sc)
- Round 4: Increase in every third stitch (24 sc)
- Round 5: Increase in every fourth stitch (30 sc)
- Continue increasing in this way until the head is the desired size.
- Shape the body. Once the head is the desired size, continue crocheting but stop increasing. This will cause the crocheting to curve inwards and form the body. Crochet until the opening is small enough to stuff the body.
- Stuff the head and body firmly.
- Close the opening of the body. You can do this by crocheting together the remaining stitches or by sewing them together with a needle and thread.
- Embroider the facial features. Once the head is shaped, use embroidery floss to stitch on the eyes, nose, and mouth.
- Crochet the arms and legs. These can be crocheted separately and then sewn onto the body. Here is an example of how to crochet a simple arm:
- Chain 10.
- Sc in each chain to the end (10 sc).
- Continue crocheting rows of sc until the arm is the desired length.
- Fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing.
- Sew the arms and legs onto the body.
Shark costume:
- Crochet the body of the costume. This can be crocheted as a simple tube or a more fitted shape. Here is an example of how to crochet a simple tube:
- Start with the tail. Chain a number of stitches equal to the desired width of the tail.
- Sc in each stitch until the desired length is reached.
- Sew the short ends of the rectangle together to create a tube.
- Continue crocheting up the body of the costume. You can increase stitches at the beginning of each round to create a slightly fitted shape.
- Once the body of the costume is the desired length, crochet a row of sc around the top opening to create a neckline.
- Crochet the fins. The fins can be crocheted separately and then sewn onto the body of the costume. Here is an example of how to crochet a simple dorsal fin:
- Chain 6.
- Sc in each chain to the end (6 sc).
- Continue crocheting rows of sc, increasing one stitch at the beginning of each row until the fin is the desired size.
- Decrease one stitch at the beginning of each row until the fin is triangular.
- Fasten off and weave in ends.
- Sew the fins onto the body of the costume.
- Crochet the teeth. The teeth can be crocheted individually and then sewn onto the bottom of the costume's head opening. Here is an example of how to crochet a simple tooth:
- Chain 3.
- Slip stitch in the first chain from the hook to form a ring.
- Sc in each chain around the ring (3 sc).
- Fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing.
- Sew the teeth onto the bottom of the costume's head opening.
Assembly:
- Dress the doll in the shark costume.
Tips:
- Be sure to crochet tightly so that the stuffing does not show through.
- Use a stitch marker to keep track of the beginning of each round.
- Change colors as needed to create the doll and the costume.
- Stuff the amigurumi firmly as you go.
