 How to make eyes for you doll There is plenty of ways. I have made a lots of eyes, trough time.  For example, this one is painted on a piece of felt: I used acrylic paint to get the colour. This wsy is also the easiest way. First you cut a piece of paper that is slightly smaller than how big you want your eye to be. Then, you trace it to the felt. (Don't forget to flip paper when cutting other eye) now, you gonna pain on it (let it dry for about an hour). When its done, sew on a doll. Done! Then, there is this way, also cute: These are pearls i got when my bracelet broke. 🤗 You can also (oc course) use safety eyes, but i wasn't able to find any in our local craft store, so, i had to go with these.  These make perfect eyes for toy animals. (the doll was my first crochet toy)  Then, my Favourite and most beautiful eyes are these : This way is also most complicated and most time consuming way.

SMALL CROCHET DOLL This project is starting from a magic ring and its (almost) all one piece. Hands are made separately. I like my projects to be all one piece because then i have less sewing to do. Also, it makes it a lot easier. And i used two types of yarn. Thicker for the body and thinner for the outfit.    I would not recommend this project to beginners! So here it is: MR- Magic ring sl st- slip stitch sc- single crochet  dc - double crochet inc- increase dec- decrease icord - icord ch - chain You will need : 3mm crochet hook  Pink yarn (for the body)  Brown(or black, yellow,...) yarn for the hair 2mm crochet hook Pink and blue yarn (for outfit)  Thread (to embroider the face)  Needle  *You can use different types of yarn, but then your doll will be different size.  Body: (dimensions : 14cmx4,5cm)  R1: in MR - sc 6 (6) R1: inc all around (12) R2: sc inc all around (18)  R3: sc2 inc all around (24)  R4-R11: sc all around (24)  R12: sc2 dec all around (18) R13:sc dec all around (12)
