This one I did today, my granddaughter told me she lost her mouse that goes with one of her tiny dolls so I made one today because she will be over here for supper tonight and I love doing things like this for my grandkids! Who wouldn't??
I don't know what the dolls are called, they are smaller than Polly Pockets. I am hoping this little mouse will be small enough. He is only 3/4 inch long minus tail and the pets that go with these dolls are not in proportion like real life. If not she will just love it for itself!
I started with a pattern from Crochetville by KristieMN and called Little Mouse Pattern. That pattern called for ww yarn but I used crochet thread, size 30 and a size 1.25 mm crochet hook.
I did the first 7 rows by the pattern and knew I needed to start decreasing because I didn't want it much bigger so I just decreased until I could sew it up. Then I crocheted the ears but my own pattern for these was: ch. 2, 8 hdc in 2nd ch from hook and finished off. I then embroidered his eyes, mouth, nose and ears using pink and blue crochet thread.
Here is a pic of him. Note that he is sitting on a dime. I think he is adorable!
Wow so tiny and gorgeous!!! I love little crochet... Im just not especially good at it! I also love your doll in the next post- reminds me of a cabbage patch doll- I always wanted one of those when I was growing up!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I think the little stuff takes more time just trying to keep it tiny and sewing anything on the almost finished item. It was fun tho thinking about how happy my granddaughter would be.
ReplyDeleteThe doll really does look like a cabbage patch doll. thanks again
