Finger Puppet: Doll (Specially for Kids in "Stay at Home" Period)
Fig 1
Hello friends,
As I said in my last post, I am making these finger puppets for the children who are in a phase of "Stay at Home" due to Corona, all over the world.
You already saw Lion, Dogy and Ely. Now the tern of Doll.
Material: Left over yarns, mainly pink and brown then any two different colours of your choice, crochet hook 2.5 mm, tapestry needle, 2 beads for eyes.
Pattern: R1: In a magic loop, ch1, sc 8, close by slip stitch in first sc. (8 sts)
Fig 2

Fig 3
R2: ch 1, sc 2 in each st, cl, (16 sts), see fig 2.
R3: ch 1, sc 1 in each st, cl, (16 sts).
R4 and R5 same as R3. Fig 3.
R6: ch1, (2sctog) repeat till end, cl (8 sts)
R7: ch 1, sc 1 in next 2 sts, 2sctog, sc1 in next 2 sts, 2sctog, cl, (6 sts)
Then join shirt colour (red) yarn but don't cut this yarn we shall make hands by this colour.

Fig 5
R8: ch 1, sc 2 in each st, cl (12 sts)In next round we shall make hands of the doll by skin colour.
R9: ch 1, sc 2 in next st, (now with skin colour make ch 6, sl st in each st starting from secnd st) hand made, with red colour make sc 1 in next 6 sts, again with skin colour make another hand, sc 1 in each of the remaining sts, sc 2 in last st, cl, (14 sts). At the end of this round cut the skin colour yarn. See fig 4.

Fig 6

Instead of slip st for hand, we can also make single crochet in each st.
R10: ch1, sc 1 in each st, sc 2 in last st, cl (14 sts)
R11: ch 1, sc 1 in each st, cl (14 sts)
R12: same as R11.
Join another colour for skirt.
R12 to R 17 same as, ch 1, sc 1 in each st, cl (14 sts). Fig 5. 

Now we have to make her hairs. 
Hairs with two ponies:
One simple method is cut 20-25 pieces of 4" brown yarn and paste them by fabric glue.
But in this method kids may pull the yarn ends while playing so better to apply second method.
Second method:
Round1: In a magic loop make ch 1, sc 6
R2: ch 1, sc 2 in each st, cl (12 sts)
R3: ch 1, sc 1 in each st, cl, (12 sts)
Next we work in row and not in round.
Row4: ch 1, sc 2 in first st, sc 1 in next 2 sts, make one pony ( ch 3, dc 2 in first ch, ch 1 sl st in first ch), sc 1 in next 5 sts, make another pony, sc 1 in next 2 sts, sc 2 in last. Bind off.
Make chains 8 with skirt colour and wrap around her neck.
Fill fiber in the face of the doll.
Sew two beads in place of eyes then with red yarn make her leaf by embroidery.
The beautiful doll is ready.
ETC: Enjoy the Creativity
