Look at these adorable dolls.

Not only little girls would like to have such toys, but also their adult mothers. Crocheting toys is a very exciting and rewarding activity. Although only experienced crafters can do it, in this article we will offer you a general principle for creating them so that even novice needlewomen can make them to their liking.

How to tie a doll?

Try to mentally imagine what parts your proposed model consists of. Note that all dolls can be divided into two categories:

1. The basis of the toy is a crocheted body, and all other accessories are made separately and can be removed from the doll. Such crocheting of soft toys is easier, moreover, it is more like children who like to play "dressing up" and "daughter-mothers". All additional small elements will themselves be separate toys, leaving room for imagination.child. As a rule, such a doll does not have any special image, and it changes depending on what they put on it. In this case, crocheting toys is not complete without creating a “wig” from yarn. It helps the child to form hairdressing skills. Such a doll has powerful developmental capabilities and it is desirable that every girl has it. Over time, the child will be able to independently learn to crochet toys or their small elements: bows, necklaces, belts, scarves, etc.



2. The whole doll is tied together as a one-piece toy. It usually does not have removable elements. Therefore, the image of the doll is given special importance. This is often reflected in the detailed knitting of the details of the face and figure. The master creates an original hairstyle for the doll, uses complex elements of clothing. Looking closely, you will notice various accessories - handbags, hair clips, bracelets and much more. A toy can even have a nationality and temperament. Some dolls imitate movie and music stars. In these nuances, the interest of the master himself is revealed and it becomes obvious that he really likes crocheting toys. Such products are more preferred by adults than their children.

How to tie a simple doll?

Crochet toys with patterns, of course, is easier, but it is much more interesting to understand the very principle of such work. Then you can create on your own, and there will be no barriers to your imagination. The doll is knitted in the following sequence:

1. We always start from the top, from the head. We make a “wonderful loop” and tie it with columns to make a circle. We tighten the thread and continue to knit, adding columns in each new row as we work. We do a lot "by eye", remembering that by adding loops, we expand part of the doll's body. If we reduce the number of columns in a row, knitting gradually narrows.
2. Arms and legs can be knitted separately and sewn on later. We create proportions approximate - a too big head will give the doll a cute childish look, and thin legs will look very cute.
3. You need to stuff the doll with soft material, making sure that the neck does not bend.
