1 CARL SAGAN AMIGURUMI DOLL PATTERN BY ADRIANA BON

2 carl sagan amigurumi doll materials Less than 100 yards of acrylic worsted weight yarn in colors crimson (sweater), gold (blazer), oatmeal (skin), brown (pants) and black (shoes). I used Vanna s choice for all of these colors. For the hair, I used Caron Simply Soft in brown. I recommend you use a thinner or lower ply yarn for the hair than the one you will use for the pants. A DK or sport yarn would work as well. Crochet hooks sizes 3.75 mm, 3.25 mm and 4.5 mm. A pair of 8 mm safety eyes Polyfill stuffing ABBREVIATIONS sc, single crochet sc2tog, single crochet two together st, stitch Gauge is not important for this pattern on the construction of the doll The doll is crocheted starting with the foot and leg. You will make two, then join the legs to get to the mid body section and then decrease until the neck. The turtle neck is crocheted in the front loop of the neck stitches, while the neck itself is crocheted in the back loop. The head is crocheted separately and sewn onto the neck. The arms are crocheted separately and then sewn onto the body. The entirety of the doll, except for the arms, is crocheted with the 3.75 mm hook. The arms are crocheted using a 3.25 mm hook. You will use the 4.5 mm hook for the blazer. Stuff body parts firmly as you work. LEGS (worked in spiral), Make 2 With black yarn make 8 sc into a magic ring (use stitch markers to mark the beginning of the round) Make 1 sc in each stitch for 4 rounds (8 sc) Change to brown yarn Make 1 sc in each stitch for 20 rounds (8 sc) TORSO (WORKED IN SPIRAL) Now we will join the legs together to make the bottom of the torso. Choose 1 leg and make 2 sc in the first stitch. This will be your joining stitch. Make the next sc in the first stitch of the second leg. Make 1 sc in the next 6 stitches. Make 2 sc in the next stitch (the last stitch of the round).

3 Make the next sc in the last stitch of the first leg and then continue to make 1 sc in each stitch until the end of the round. You have now joined the legs to form the torso. Make 1 sc in each stitch for 4 rounds (18 st) Change to maroon yarn Make 1 sc in each stitch for 11 rounds (18 st) Begin torso decreases as follows (sc2tog, 1 sc) around (12 st) Make 1 sc in each stitch (12 st) (sc2tog, 1sc in next 4 st) twice (10 st) NECK AND TURTLENECK (worked in spiral) Because we will be working with one color on the back loop and one color on the front loop, it is easier to work the neck first and then the turtleneck. Do not cut the maroon yarn. Instead, join with skin colored yarn on the back loop of the first stitch. Make 2 rows of 1sc in each stitch with the skin colored yarn (10 st) (sc2tog, 1 sc in next 3 st) twice (8 st) Break the yarn and leave a long tail to sew the head onto the neck Continue with maroon colored yarn on the front loop of the last torso stitch Make 4 rows of 1 sc in each stitch (10 sc) Make 2 sc in each stitch (20 sc) - this will be the point where we fold the turtleneck over sc2tog around (10 sc) Make 4 rows of 1 sc in each stitch (10 sc) HEAD (worked in spiral) With skin colored yarn, make 8 sc in a magic ring and make head increases 2 sc in each stitch around, (16 st) (2 sc in first stitch, 1 sc in next) around (24 st) (2 sc in first stitch, 1 sc in next 2) around (32 st) Start head decreases (sc2tog, 1 sc in next 2) around (24 st) (sc2tog, 1 sc in next) around (16 st) Sc2tog around (8 st) Make 1 sc in each stitch for 9 rounds. - Read hair, eyes and nose directions Break yarn and weave in ends

4 HAIR, EYES AND NOSE I recommend you stop once you ve completed 3 or 4 rows of 32 stitches of the head and attach the hair to your doll. To do so, cut 6 inch pieces of brown yarn and attach to the top of the head using the latch method or whatever method you like best. We will cut the hair to the appropriate length later. Attach the safety eyes 5 rows below the hairline. Make a nose by sewing around the stitches, 2 rows below your eye positioning. Make a mouth with black yarn 2 rows below the nose. ARMS (WORKED IN SPIRAL), MAKE 2 Using a 3.25 mm hook and skin colored yarn make 8 sc in a magic ring. Make 1 sc in each stitch for 4 rows Change to maroon colored yarn and make 1 sc in each for 14 rows. Leave a long tail for sewing onto body EARS (worked in spiral), make 2 With skin colored yarn, make 6 sc into a magic ring. (6 sc) Make 2 sc in first stitch, 1 sc in next, around. (9 sc) Make 1 sc in each stitch. (9 sc) FINISH THE DOLL Sew ears onto head at about the same level as the eyes. Sew the head onto the neck using the long tail of yarn you left on the neck portion. Sew arms onto torso. Cut the hair to look like Carl s. JACKET, worked in rounds With 4.5 mm hook Chain 21, make 1 sc in 2nd chain from hook and the next 19 stitches (20 st) Chain 1 and make 1 sc in each stitch for 14 rows Now we ll split the stitches to leave an arm hole. Place a stitch marker in the 5th stitch from each edge of the body of the jacket such that you have 10 stitches for the back of the jacket and 5 stitches for each side of the front. Work 4 rows of sc in each portion of the jacket. To make the arms of the jacket, chain 2 and then make the next stitch on the back of the jacket. This means you will have added 2 stitches for the arm width and effectively joined the front part with the back part. Working in spiral, make 9 rounds of 12 stitches for each arm of the jacket. Break yarn and weave in ends. Join yarn at one of the bottom edges of the jacket and sc all around the jacket body until you reach the 8th row of the body of the jacket. Then make 1 half double crochet in the next 5

5 stitches and 1 dc in the next 10 or so (sorry, didn t write down stitch count here), make 1 half double crochet in the next 5 stitches and continue down the edge of the jacket in single crochet.
