Stitch Key:
Mr = magic ring
Ch = chain
Sc = single crochet
St = Stitch
Sts = Stitches
Sl = Slip Stitch
Rnd = Round
Dc = Double Crochet
Dec = Decrease
Invdec = Invisible Decrease

Special Stitch Explanation:

Magic Ring I personally like to use a magic ring to begin all my amigurumi rounds so in
this pattern that is how I begin, but wherever you see Mr you can gladly substitute your
preferred method. If you havent tried a magic ring there are a lot of great tutorials
online.

Invdec While you can always just decrease the two stitches together that will leave an
unsightly bump. I recommend using an invisible decrease when working in the round.
This is done by pushing the hook down into only the front loop of the St and without
yarning over push the hook up through only the front loop of the next stitch. Yarn over
once and pull through all but one loop on the hook and then yarn over and pull through
for your single crochet invisible decrease (noted in this pattern as Invdec).

Dec For the collar You will need to do a basic decrease by going through one St, yarn
over and go through the next St, yarn over and pull through all but one loop then yarn
over and pull through for a single crochet decrease.

Notes:
- Most of this pattern is done by working in the round. Unless otherwise noted
do not join and work in continuous rounds. Mark beginning of each round
with a stitch marker and keep track of your stitch count.
- This pattern is written in the best order to create each item and then sew
pieces together. The legs and body must be made first.

Pattern:

Legs (make 2):

Rnd1: With Red Mr 6 Sc (6)
Rnd2: (Sc in next St, 2 Sc in next St) around (9)
Rnd3-5: Sc in each St around, change to white in last St of Rnd (9)
Rnd6: Sc in each St around, change to beige in last St of round (9)
Rnd7-8: Sc in each St around (9)

Body:
Note: The body and head are worked from bottom to top because the hair covers any
bumpiness from decreasing on the top of the head. You could stop at round 10 and then
do the head backwards if you would prefer your decreases around the neck. I originally
tried that changed it to allow for more room around the neck when attaching the collar.
Since the head and body being sewn together would make for a bulkier neck

Rnd1: place the insides of the legs together (I prefer to put the sides where the
colors dont line up together) and with the two Sts closest to each other put your
hook through both loops, yarn over and pull through both loops and Sc. This St
will not be counted in St total. Now Sc around one leg (8) and continue on to the
next leg (8) for a total of (16)
Rnd2: (2 Sc in next St, Sc in next 7 Sts) around (18)

Rnd5: Working in back loops only (skirt
will be attached to these loops) sc in each

switching to beige in last St (12)
Rnd11: (2 Sc in next St, Sc in next St)
around (18)
Rnd12: (Sc in next 2 Sts, 2 Sc in next St) around (24)

Hair
Top of Hair:
Rnd1: With yellow Mr 6 Sc (6)
Rnd2: 2 Sc in each St around (12)
Rnd3: (Sc in next St, 2 Sc in next St) around (18)
Rnd4: (Sc in next 2 Sts, 2 Sc in next St) around (24)
Rnd5: (2 Sc in next St, Sc in next 3 Sts) around (30)
Rnd6: (Sc in the next 4 Sts, 2 Sc in the next St) around (36)
Rnd7-11: Sc in each St around (36)

Bangs:
- Decide what side you want to
be the front of the hair and
place on the dolls head. Pick
the St just above the eye and
count over 4 more Sts and
mark this St. This is were you
begin.
- Take the hair off the head and
with yellow join with a Sl, Ch 5
then Sl into the next St Ch 5
and repeat the process 3 more
times crocheting to the left
(until you reach the St thats
just above the eye).
- Count 8 Sts over and repeat the process this time crocheting toward the right
and toward the bangs you already created. There should be 3 Sts between the
bangs.

 Hairballs (or for you Sailor Moon fans, Dumplings or if you watched the
Dubbed version meatballs ;-) ) (Make 2):
Rnd1: With yellow MR 6 (6)
Rnd2: (Sc in next St, 2 Sc in next) around (9)
Rnd3: (2Sc in next St, sc in next 2 Sts) around (12)
Rnd4: Sc in all Sts around (12)
Rnd5: (Invdec, Sc in next 2 Sts) around (9)
Stuff firmly
Rnd6: Invdec in all Sts around (6)

Pigtails (Make 2):

Row1: Ch 27, Dc in 3rd St from hook, continue to DC 24 more times to the end of
the chain.
Row2: Ch1 and turn, Sc back along all 25 Sts
- Sl at the base and Ch 10 to form curl at the end of pigtail

Assembly
Sew pigtails to the base of each hairball and then place them on either side of
the hair cap (I prefer to do this will the hair is on the head so I can be certain the
bangs and pigtails are all placed properly) mark the spot and then remove the
hair from the head and sew hairball in place with yellow yarn. Repeat the
process for the next hairball with pigtail.
- Set the hair aside for sewing to head later (which is the last step).

Skirt:
Rnd1: Work in the front loops of Rnd4 keeping the head pointed toward you.
Join blue with a Sl and begin in same St as join (Sc in next 3 Sts, 2sc in next St)
around (30).
Rnd2: (2Sc in next St, Sc in next 4 Sts) around (36)
Rnd3: (Ch3 and Sc in St) around

Rnd2: (2 Sc in next St, Sc in next St) around (9)
Rnd3: (Sc in next St, Invdec) around (6)
Rnd4: Sc in all Sts around (6) change to red in last St

- Stuff lightly
- Sew to body just at neck

Collar

Row2: Ch 1, turn, Sc in each (8)
Row3: Ch 1, turn, Sc in each (8)

First Collar Side:

- (Ch 1, turn, Sc in next 2) repeat 4 times
- Dec last row to 1 St
- Repeat on the two end stitches on the other side of the collar.

Assembly
- With white embroidery floss stitch two rows of white around the collar (see
image for reference).
- Stretch the collar sides tightly around the neck above the arm and tuck it into
the neck area as best you can with the white stripes facing up. Sew the two
collar sides together with blue yarn (they wont quite meet up but will be
covered by the bow).

Remaining Assembly
Bows:
- Cut two strips of red felt (strips should be long enough so that when they are
formed into loops with overlap in the back they are the proper width of the
bow).
- Cut two v shapes from the felt (this will serve as bow tails).
- Fold one strip into a loop and using an embroidery needle threaded with
yellow embroidery floss poke through front of bow and the overlapped
pieces in the back.
- Place a v shape behind the loop and poke through that with the needle as
well.
- Pull quite a bit of floss through and then wrap around with yellow floss until
the right amount is wrapped around (see picture for reference)
- Repeat with other strip and v shape but this time use red floss
- The bow with the yellow floss gets sewn to the front were the collar sides are
sewn together and the one with the red floss gets sewn to the middle of the
back at the top of the skit.

Mouth:
- Cut a half oval out of red felt and sew to lower part of face between the eyes
with red floss

Tiara:
- Cute a large thing v shape from yellow felt and sew to center part of head
right in the middle of tiara with red embroidery floss (test position by placing
hair over tiara first before sewing in place)
- Ends of tiara should be long enough so they get tucked under the hair.
Because the hair will be sewn into place there is now need to sew tiara ends.

Hair:
- Cut two red circles and two white circles (slightly larger then the red ones)
that will be the hairball covers.
- Sew the red circle to the white with red embroidery floss and then sew the
white circle to the hairball of the pigtail with white floss and repeat on the
second hairball (see images for positioning help)
- Position hair over tiara and with bangs just over eyes, and bang part right in
the middle and sew around the edge with yellow yarn

All Done! Enjoy your homemade Sailor Moon doll.
