Step-by-step Guide
Required Materials:
- Yarn of chosen colors
- Crochet hook (appropriate size for your yarn)
- Stitch markers
- Yarn needle
- Fiberfill stuffing
- Optional: Felt for accessories/embellishments
Stitches You'll Need To Know:
- Chain Stitch (Ch)
- Single Crochet (Sc)
- Slip Stitch (Sl st)
- Increase (Inc)
- Decrease (Dec)
Note: This pattern begins with Doctor Fate's helmet, then the body, arms, and lastly, his cape.
Procedure:
Helmet
- Round 1: Start with a magic ring, Chain 1 (Ch 1), then do 6 single crochet stitches (Sc) into the magic ring. (You may place a stitch marker to remind yourself where the round ends and begins.)
- Round 2: Increase (Inc) in each stitch around (12 stitches total).
- Continue this pattern - increasing an equal number of times each round - until you reach a size you like for the head.
Continue until you're satisfied with the helmet's base, then move on to creating the iconic "wings" on Doctor Fate's helmet.
Body
- The body generally starts at the neckline, widens for the shoulders and chest, and then tapers down for the waist and hips.
- Vary your increases and decreases to create a realistic shape.
Arms (make 2)
- Start with a magic ring and 6 Sc, as in the helmet.
- Continue to add rounds without increasing to create a long tubular shape, stuffing as you go.
Cape
- Depending on how detailed you'd like the cape to be, this could be a triangular shape or something more complex.
- To create a basic cape, chain a length that is just over twice the height of the doll.
- Turn and single crochet in each stitch across. Add each additional row with a decrease at the start and end to create a triangular shape.
Assembly
- Using a yarn needle, stitch the arms onto the body where the shoulders would naturally be.
- Stitch on the head next, ensuring that it is securely fastened.
- Attach the cape at the shoulders.
