How to Crochet a Doll: Part 1

  • This tutorial will show you step by step how to crochet part one of the Crochet Morgan Doll. We are working this as a CAL in three parts and this is the first part. Find links to the second and third parts below.
    PLEASE NOTE!!!! The hook shown in this video is the wrong mm size - you should use a size D 3.25mm, not a 3.0mm. I thought all D hooks were the same mm, but they're not. That's why the body of my second doll is coming out so much smaller! If you want the same result as the original Morgan, please be sure to use 3.25mm.
    Part 2 (Head, Face and Hair): • How to Crochet a Doll:...
    Part 3 (Dress and Boots): • How to Crochet a Doll:...

    Could I use 4 weight? Like Michael’s = Loops & Threads® Impeccable™ Yarn, Solid
    Or should I just weight until they restock DK yarns. Amazon sells is for 3 times the prices that Joanns does. 😞

      Hi! It's easy to make her bigger - just use a thicker weight yarn than DK (worsted would probably do it) and go down a couple of hook sizes from the size recommended on the label. I've even seen a very large Morgan made with chunky yarn!

      You can, but with a yarn that lightweight you will more than likely see the stuffing. If you want to use a larger hook, you will need to use a heavier yarn (worsted or more).
