Pattern A

這是我剛開始學習 amigurumi 的練習作品之一. 這個娃娃的特色是細細的四肢, 所以毛線要用細的來鉤較理想. 基本上作品最後大小會因你使用的鉤針大小及毛線粗細來決定, 可依個人喜好做選擇. 這是我在網路截取的免費織圖, 閱讀英文困難, 可利用右上角語言翻譯器來協助. 對初學者這是有難度的, 不過我鼓勵你們嚐試挑戰, 我也是自學, 事實上不是那麼困難, 就來享受鉤針編織的樂趣吧!!

Tie off and leave long end for sewing the arm to the body later

Now take the legs and hands and wire you have prepared.

Measure the length from one end to another (for leg and arm) and cut wire in same length.

Now use a little bit of stuffing, wrap it tightly on the top of each side of the wire. You can tighten it with some thread if it will be easier for you, take the seal tape and start wrapping it around ends, through the middle, towards the other end, until you have this nice looking, safe piece, with both ends closed and secured.

Here is the photo of materials used in my Oopsie doll and how this “stick” looks like before put into arm or leg.

As you finish all four of the sticks place them inside the limbs.

Make another one short though, about 5 cm ( 2 inches) long. This one make little bit thicker (If the wire is narrow as mine, fold it twice and twist it a little before wrapping it and making it safe. This piece we will use for head-body connection so the head doest wobble around.

Now you can start sewing the body parts together.

Start with head and body first.

Place the “stick” (wire) in the middle of both parts and sew the head and body nicely through all of 12 stitches. Add some stuffing if needed.

Legs:

Sew the legs on the bottom of the body, starting at R2-R6 at each side.

Safety pin them, check them twice and sew them nicely.

Arms:

Place arms on the sides of the body. Place them second row below from where the head and body are sewed together. Sew them through two rows, nicely. Be aware to place the thumb pointing front.

we can start working on hair

Tie off and leave long end for sewing the hair to the head.

Ringlets

I have done mine in pair of two bunches, but then sewed them all together to look as made in one piece.

You can do the hair many different ways. You can make ringlets longer or shorter. You can make them thicker or thinner. You can make them less or more in numbers.
