Let's start!
NOTE: In this project we are going to work closing the loops.
HEAD
Row 1: 6 sc in a magic ring After finishing, close the row making a slip stitch at the first stitch of the previous row.
Row 2: Make a chain
to gain height and at the stitch where you made the slip stitch, pass the hook
to start this row 2. Make 6 increases (12p). After finishing, close the row
making a slip stitch at the first stitch of the previous row.
Row 3: Make chain to
gain height. Continue with 1 sc, 1 increase (18p). After finishing close the
row making a slip stitch.
Row 4: Make the chain to gain height. Start with 1 sc,
1 inc and continue with the following sequence in parentheses (2 sc - 1 inc x
5). Finish with 1 sc in the last stitch and 1 slip stitch to close the row.
(24)
Row 5: Make chain to gain height. Continue with 3 sc,
1 inc throughout the entire row. Close the round with a slip stitch. (30)
Row 6: Make chain to gain height. Continue with 2 sc,
1 inc, and before continue, make what is in parentheses (4 sc - 1 inc x 5),
finish with 2 sc and a slip stitch to close the row. (36p)
Row 7: Make chain to gain height. We work in the back
loops of the stitches and make 36 sc Finish with a slip stitch to close the
round by going through both loops of the stitch.
Row 8 to 14: Make chain to gain height. Take the
entire stitch and make 36 sc in each round. Close and start each round as we
have done so far.
Row 15: Make chain to gain height. We work in the back
loops of the stitches. Make 4 sc and 1 dec, (the decreases are also made by
taking the back loops of the stitches). Finish with a slip stitch to close the
round by going trhough both loops of the stitch. (30p)
Row 16: Make chain to gain height. Take the entire
stitch. Make 3 sc and 1 dec, (the decreases are made normal, taking the front
loop of the stitch). (24p)
Row 17: Make chain to gain height. Make 2 sc and 1
dec. Finish with a slip stitch to close the round by going through both loops
of the stitch. (18p)
Now we will start knitting the body.
Row 18: Make chain to gain height. Work through the
front loop of the stitches. Make 1 sc, 1 inc, before continue, make what is in
parentheses (2 sc - 1 inc x 5) and 1 sc. Finish with a slip stitch to close the round by going
trhough both loops of the stitch. (24p)
Row 19: Make chain to gain height. Take the entire
stitch. Continue with 3 sc, 1 inc Finish with 1 slip stitch to close the round.
(30p)
Row 20: Make chain to gain height. We work in the back
loops of the stitches and make 30 sc Finish with a slip stitch to close the
round by going through both loops of the stitch. (30p)
Row 21 to 30: Make chain to gain height. Take the
entire stitch and make 30 sc in each row. Close and start each round as we have
done so far.
Row 31: Make 1 chain. We work in the back loops of the
stitches and make 30 sc Finish with 1 slip stitch to close the round. (30p)
Let's fill in the head part before continue, don't fill too much or the top will be rounded.
Try to bring the filling to the sides. Avoid inserting large pieces of filler so that there are no bulging areas We will fill in the body a little further ahead.
Row 32: Take the entire stitch. Make 1 chain. Continue with 3 sc y 1 dec. Finish with 1 slip stitch to close the round. (24p)
Row 33: Make chain to gain height. Continue with 2 sc
y 1 dec. Finish
with 1 slip stitch to close the round. (18p)
Row 34: Make chain to gain height. 1 sc y 1 dec. Finish with 1 slip stitch to
close the round. (12p)
Before closing completely, we finish filling try to bring the filling to the sides not to the head. The base has to be flat, if you see it starting to bulk up, don't fill more.
Mold a little with your fingers to place the filling, so the base is as flat as possible.
Row 35: Cut enough thread to close the remaining hole. With a wool needle pass the needle through the front of the 12 stitches. Stretch to close. Secure with 1 knot when finished and pass the needle through the body to cut the excess thread.
ARMS x2
Row 1: 5 sc in a magic ring. Close the row with 1 slip stitch as well as we have been doing
with the body.
Row 2: Make chain to gain height and 5 increases
Finish with 1 slip stitch to close the round (10p)
Row 3: Make chain to gain height. We work in the back
loops of the stitches, make 10 sc. When finished, we make a slip stitch to
close the round by going through
both loops of the stitch.
Rows 4 to 9: Make a chain to gain height and 10 sc in
each row. Take
the entire stitch. Remember to close each row as we did until now.
Row
10: Make a chain to gain height and 5 sc.
Cut enough thread to sew and pull on the loop to extract the thread.
Fill
a little so that the tip does not bulge, and with a wool needle, we will close
the gap to prevent the filling from coming out.
The last 5 sc that we knit will be the ones we use to sew to body, they stand out clearly because they protrude above the last 5 single crochet stitches of the previous round.
Pass the needle through the back loop of the stitch and in front, where the 5 single crochets are higher, pass the needle under the top stitches. This way, we close the gap and allow the 5 single crochets from the last round to continue protruding, so they can be sewn to the body later. Be careful that the needle is not visible on the other side.
LEGS x2

Row
5 to 11: Make chain to gain height. Take the entire stitch. Make 15 sc and 1
slip stitch to close each row. Cut enough thread to sew and pull on the loop to
extract the thread.
SEW THE LEGS
I recommend that you secure them before you start sewing. The "scar" of closing the turns I have located just below and the "scar" of the body I have put it behind.
Sew the leg onto the last row of stitches on the body.
Take
the front part of the stitch from both the body and the leg..After sewing
these two stitches, we move on to sewing the side.
To prevent the stitches from showing, you need to insert the needle through the
same point where you brought it out in the previous stitch. I recommend
watching the video tutorial from minute 25 if you don't have much experience
sewing amigurumis, so you can sew the leg without the stitches showing.
Sew the entire leg, leaving a small gap for stuffing. It should be well-stuffed, but not to the point where the end becomes rounded.
Finish by sewing two stitches in the lower row of the body, as we did at the beginning. This will provide a stable base and prevent the body from tilting forward. Secure with 1 knot when finished and pass the needle through the body to cut the excess thread.
Sew the other leg in the same way. Leave a 1-stitch gap between both legs.
SEW THE ARMS
Place them with 2 pins to ensure them more or less in the center of the body.
We're going to sew as we did with the legs, taking the front part of the stitches from the arm. Tighten the first stitch to snugly fit the body, and pass the needle through the same point where you brought it out in the previous stitch to hide the stitches.If you're going to place the heart between the arms, you don't need to do the following steps; just secure it with a knot.
If
you're not placing anything between the arms and don't want them to remain so
open, after finishing sewing, pass the needle through the inside of the arm to
approximately the middle, and make a stitch on the body so the arm will stay close.
Secure with a knot at the end of the arm and cut off the excess yarn.
You can also use glue if you find it more convenient.
Hanging eye
To make the hanging eye, pass a long thread through the button and make a row of knots as long as you want the eye to hang (the knots don't need to be tight).
After making the knots, thread both strands through the needle and sew with a stitch on the head at the desired height, then secure with a knot. Pass the needle through the body to cut the excess strand.
I make the knot on the red thread closest to the body.
With black thread, finish by adding the mouth and any other details you'd like.
You can add a small heart made of felt if you're not making a doll that hugs a crocheted heart. To glue it to the body, I used white craft glue.
