How to Crochet a Doll Hoodie: Easy Step-by-Step Instructions

You’ll Need:

Yarn with at least 50% Merino wool;

Crochet hook 1.5 mm;

Scissors.

Instructions

At first, take measurements of the doll – length of sleeve, back and front, and width of armpit.

Start your work from the bottom part. Create a chain based on the measurements.

Crochet to the armpit line.

After you’ve finished the neck-hole, make shoulder seams and align with the pattern design. If everything looks good, proceed to making sleeves. Fasten the arm-holes with double crochets and begin decreases from the center of the sleeves starting from the first stitch of the row. Finally, remember to make cuffs using the same scheme as for the sleeves but start decreasing from the first circle. The width of the cuff should be about 4-9 mm.

If you wish to decorate your hoodie with a collar, it’s sufficient to create it from three double crochets. Additionally, if desired, you can make a hood by forming a chain in the first row of the collar that matches the length of your desired hood.

Hood

Divide the chain into two parts and start crocheting each part separately towards the center. Then, perform decreases at the beginning of each row and increases at the end.

Once you’ve completed the two parts of the hood, connect them with double crochets and sew the hood to the main part of the hoodie.
