Before you begin... www.etsy.com/shop/sleepysheeppatterns/
This doll is crocheted in the round from the feet to the head as one piece, and the
arms are joined. Try to crochet tightly and keep the same gauge throughout the
doll. Sara is about 11” tall.
To create Sara, I used Paintbox Cotton DK yarn in Light Caramel (skin color),
Midnight Blue (overalls), Vintage Pink (shirt, hair ties and patch detail on
overalls), Mustard Yellow (hair), Pistachio Green (socks and hat detail), Melon
Sorbet (nose), Coffee Bean (hat), Granite Grey (boots, overall buttons, patch
stitching), Pure Black (crow and mouth detail), and Paper White (crow’s eyes). I
also used Aunt Lydia’s Crochet Thread in Black to embroider Sara’s smile.
You are welcome to use any size/color yarn just adjust your hook accordingly and
read any notes or tips for help! If you use a larger yarn and hook size you will need
to use larger safety eyes as well.
How to do a clean F/O...
I use this for the arms and most color changes, if I don’t specify to use this type of
F/O just use a normal F/O. You don’t have to use this technique I just prefer to use
it so that there are not any bumps and it makes for a smoother color change.
Insert your yarn needle Insert your yarn needle down

into the 2nd st from your into the middle of the last sc
F/O and pull yarn through you made on the last round
(where you F/O’d) and pull the
yarn through
This is what it should look

like when you’re done

Yarn End
Completed Hat Double thread your yarn Leave some length of your
needle yarn end and run your yarn
needle through the next
stitch
Hat Continued... www.etsy.com/shop/sleepysheeppatterns/
Wrap the yarn around the hat and run your yarn needle Repeat again to have a
down and back out through the next st where your yarn thicker “band”
end is located.
Tie the yarn ends into a bow and knot off the ends, trimming excess yarn until you’ve
reached the length you desire. The ribbon is completely optional and you could easily
use real ribbon (fabric glue or sewing) or crochet a band if you prefer otherwise.
Before you begin...
I recommend using a permanent washable fabric glue (like Fabri-Tac or something similar)
to glue the hair down to the head - do NOT use tacky glue. I’ve never had a problem with
washing my dolls in the washer and dryer using Fabri-Tac (available at Joann Fabrics) as long
as you use a delicate cycle and low heat tumble (I also put mine in a pillow case). Also if you
prefer you could sew the hair onto the head rather than use glue, but it is a little more time
consuming.
Hair
Use a 2.00mm hook and Mustard Yellow yarn
R2: inc around [12]
TIP: Each st in the magic circle will have 2 strands coming from it - see pictures for
example. So you will have 24 strands in total to make up the hair.
1: ch 25, hdc into 3rd ch from hook, make 22 hdc down then slst into same st you
chained from [23]
2: ch 12, hdc into 3rd ch from hook, make 9 hdc down, slst into next st of the magic

23 & 24: repeat step 11 & 12
At the end of step 24 slst into the
1st st. F/O and weave in end, you do not
need to leave a tail for sewing since we
will be gluing the hair.
Completed Hair
Hair Assembly
After you pin the hair down unpin one strand at a time, glue and repeat! Be
sure to use a glue that is permanent and washable like Fabri-Tac not tacky glue! You
may have some overlap on the hair which is fine.
Make sure not to glue hair down too low on the face, pay attention to where
I put my sewing pins for where to stop applying glue at. This is so the hair doesn’t
seem too “stiff”.
After the hair has been glued down and dried, separate the hair strands evenly
(see pictures for reference) and tie them off into pigtails with either pieces of yarn,
ribbon, or elastic hairbands.
Instructional photos on hair assembly are on the next page...
Hair Assembly Continued... www.etsy.com/shop/sleepysheeppatterns/
Pin the hair onto the head.
Unpin your strands 1-2

strands at a time and glue
each strand down.
Divide the hair evenly and use a scrap piece of yarn to tie off
the hair into low pigtails.

Getting Dressed Tips Continued...

Blushes
This is completely optional but I like to use my prismacolor nupastel 286-P
for blush (I use a paintbrush to help smooth it out after I put it on), but you may use
blush, eye shadow, fabric marker, felt, or whatever you prefer to use for blush!
Crow Pattern www.etsy.com/shop/sleepysheeppatterns/
