Would love to make it. Thanks for sharing.
Love it have not done any thing like this but would like to try some how!
What happened to the print button? I don’t even see an option to buy this pattern. It’s very hard to make it when the pattern can only be seen on my computer…
https://shop.amigurumi.today/collections/frontpage/products/molly-doll-crochet-pattern-printable-pdf
Thank you.
Thanks for sharing. I wonder if I should work in continuous round if no sl st is mentioned, e.g. the head, body, arms, etc.. Thanks.
Yes, work in continuous rounds 🙂
Maravilloso todo. Gracias
🌷🌷🌷
Beautiful pattern! I’m going to try but what is a lift stitch?
Thank you ,
Linda
This is a chain needed to start the next round. Just a make ch as usual 🙂
What do you mean by 2 lifting chains? My count comes out 2 stiches short on each row since I started working the rows after making arm holes in the vest
Hi Shannon, 2 lifting chains (= 2 turning ch) are simply 2 ch needed for lifting 🙂
I’ve crochet for years and havent heard of a magic ring. Could you please let me know what it is? Thanks for sharing the pattern.
Hi Shellie, here is a tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEq48ABHRZo Instead of magic ring you can make 2 ch and start crocheting sc in the second ch from the hook like in the magic ring.
love this doll how and what have you use to do the hair please or is there any other way of doing it xxx
Hi Debbie, I think this video can help you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8Ods9Ca8B8
Great thank you for that xx
Where can I purchase the hair tresses?
Hi Diane, please try to find it in beauty supply store or handcraft shop.
Beautiful pattern.Thanks for sharing. Enjoyed making the doll.
🌹💖
Thank you,not only do I have Grandchildren and great grandchildren, I have a yellow Labrador service dog and a African Grey Parrot who both adore dolls and animals to play with! Thank you for sharing! cindy, Cmt.eatonscards59.
Amazing! 💖💖💖
I don’t understand RD-7 of the vest. How do you crochet 9 and 22 stiches together , and 41 and 54 stitches together ?
Crochet them together as you usually do a decrease.
i’m stock … i try to make RD-7 Crochet 9 you mean chain 9 …i really dont understand , can you help me please
In Rnd 7 you’re making arm-holes. So, you should crochet dc in next 8 st, then crochet 9th and 22nd together skipping the stitches from 10th till 21st. Thus you will get the first arm-hole. Make the second arm-hole in the same way following the rest of Rnd 7 instructions.
The vest is made upside down, so the instructions may seem weird but it works out great
thanks for the pattern. my g/daughter wanted one since she was one year. now she’s five
Could you please help me with row seven of the vest? I don’t understand it. Thank you.

Nice doll thnx for sharing.. Making legs at the end of rnd 2 do i sl st in ch 2 or the dc.. Thanks
Slip stitch in ch 2
I have done row 7 of the vest so many times that I give up. Please dumb it down for me. I do not get how you end up with 36 stitches. I really want to finish the vest the doll just isn’t complete with out it.

Hi could you please help me on the making of the shoe, I have made it twice then taken it apart. I’m confused on Rnd 9 to Rnd 13.
Rnd 9 do I sc 24st, then Decrease 4 X in a row? Or do I sc 24 st then decrease by 2 and repeat sc24st, decrease by 2? Hope this makes sense. I have tried both ways but when I decrease 2sc 4x in a row the pattern of the shoe starts to show a big gap.
Many thanks
Hi Karen, hope this explanation will help you: Rnd 9: 24 sc (one sc in each st); then 4 decreases (= 2 st together + 2 st together + 2 st together + 2 st together); 14 sc (one sc in each st).
Thank you so much, I have nearly completed the doll, she’s beautiful x
Love this pattern I just have one question,please can you tell me how you sew the head on and how to you stop it from falling over or dropping down?Am I not doing something right HELP!!
Hi Donna, what do you use as stuffing?
I’m using Classic Fiber Fill,I purchased this from Micheals.
Hi Donna, please try to stuff the head not very firmly. Also you can insert a wooden stick in the neck (one end of the stick is inside the body, another one is inside the head). This will support the head very well.
Thank you I will try this on the next Molly Doll I make,I enjoyed making not one but two,for a friend one was for her granddaughter who turns Sweet 16,and the other for herself.
Great! 🌷
Gracias por los patrones,me gustan
Preciosos, me gustan muchísimo, gracias poe ellos
Sencillamente…..PRECIOSOS……. Gracias por estos patrones.Un saludo
Can she be washed in washer.
Hi Angela, it depends on the yarn type and stuffing you used.
fiber fill stuffing and 100 % cotton yarn
another question please . when crocheting the hat , on rnd 15 where it says to BPDC in next stitch ; there are 2 back posts there . What do we do with the other bpost? Thanks
Thank you so much for sharing your patterns for free too. But I know how much it takes to create a pattern that works out easy, so I have decided to buy this one and the little bunny family pattern too. We should support each other. I will be definitely buying more from you. I also didn`t know where to ask you, but are we allowed to sell the finished products and link to your shop?
Hi Lili, thanks for your message 🙂 Of course, you can sell the finished toys in your store, but no more than 50 items per month 🙂
Hi, this is amazing doll pattern. I love it very much. Thank you for sharing 🙂 How can i make it naked, so i make clothes extra/separately? Thanx again 🙂
You have to modify the pattern to get it naked 🙂
This is adorable!! Could you please tell me how tall the doll ends up being after completion? Thank you!!
Hi Amanda, if you use the recommended materials your doll will be about 30 cm tall. But note that in case you use thicker yarn and bigger hook your doll will be larger.
I don’t seem to be able to print the pattern. This is on a Free site, but it looks like you have to buy he pattern to be able to print it. Is this. Orrect?
Hi Chris 🙂 You can view the patterns for free on our website and mobile app. PDF version itself is not free. Because it takes a lot of time to prepare the patterns. So, in spite of this fact all people who can’t pay for PDF patterns can view them on the website and make wonderful toys. We don’t hide the instructions. Hope for your understanding 🙂
Doing doll now so far doing good first doll I’m doing by pattern I usually watch videos
What a fantastic website and lovely positive support and comments I’m just learning new stitches and want to try the pattern 😀 But not sure if I am brave enough.
i am working her as we speak she is so cute and so far pattern is very easy to go by tkx oh and i am making her with super saver reg 4ply yarn i will post picture when finished
Hi done the pattern to FPDC in the next 2st BPDC-Dec Rnd15 leaving 1post on the front and 2post on the back.Angela asked the same question on March 29-2017 please help thanks 🙂
Hi I’ve just finished this doll and would like to say thanks for sharing this pattern . I’m self taught and only been crocheting a few weeks. I found your pattern very well written and easy to follow. I started making bits and bobs to sell towards my grand daughters go fund me as she has leukaemia . Would you mind if I did this with doll?
Hi Pike, yes, you can sell the finished dolls. Wish your grand daughter be healthy!!! ❤
I just wanted to point out an irregularity that has been causing some problems with some fellow crocheters.
For the white detail row on the shoes it was written with the UK term half single crochet while the rest of the pattern and the abbreviation list is written is US terms.
This should instead be a slip stitch. Same stitch technique but different terminology.
Hi Sabra, thanks for your note 🙂
Many thanks for this pattern. It’s so cute.
I’m really happy to finalize this doll.
Do you have some requirement in order to post or Sell a work made with this pattern?
Kisses from Brazil?
Hi Monika, you can sell your finished toys giving a credit to our website, but no more than 50 items per month 🙂
hi,
I’m a little confused about the pattern. When creating the head where it says repeat 6 times; do I do that stitch for 6 entire rounds or just do the stitch 6 times for that round?
Hi Mia 🙂 Please repeat the space given in brackets the specified number of times. You can see the total number of stitches in square brackets.
Hi, I am in Australia and trying to think of alternate yarns and hooks to use as no online shops seem to have those brands and there is no longer a wool shop in our town (
I do have a lot of 8 ply wool and have done a head using a 2mm hook, it looks quite large as I’m not sure of the measurements for the head! Any help would be much appreciated!!
Hi Jackie, please use 4 ply or 5 ply yarn for this doll 🙂
Thanks, I now have an excuse to go online shopping! I need more wool!!!
Hi again, I found a ball of thinner cotton to try a head with and the circumference is 9 inches! Is this anywhere near right? I’m not sure whether to get the 4 or 5ply, and should it be wool or cotton? Hope you can help again!
It’s better to use semi-cotton yarn for this doll that is suitable for 2-2.5 mm hook.
I used double knit with 3mm hook and it’s fine. Onto hair rooting now….the fun job
Is that a 5 ply? With no specific measurements for the various parts, I’m not sure what to get! What length did your shoe end up? I used a 4 ply as a trial with a 2 hook and it is 7.5 cms! Hope you can help with this?
I just finished making this Molly Doll…she is super cute…easy to follow instructions..will be making more for gifts when i have extra time..thank you ..lovely pattern
Please help me to get started on the legs/body. I’m doing ch10 and form a ring. Then 2 lifting chains. Then i do the 4 dc in third ch, then 8 dc in next 8 ch. Then 5 dc in last ch. Getting this wonky circle…. then don’t know how to turn and continue after ch….. help!
Hi Karien, please do not make a circle at the first step. You crochet a straight chain (not a circle), then crochet along the chain at both sides in spiral like baby shoes.
Thank you for the reply. I will try again. Already made the head, cardigan, arms and hat…
3/4 of the way though. Loving it! Has molly got a sister? Maybe one with different pattern top and hat and bag?
Just curious??? Ty for the share xx
Hope she will have a sister in the near future 🙂 🙂 🙂
Hello. What does lifting ch mean?
Hi Dimitra, it is the same as turning ch, a simple ch needed for lifting.
What a lovely doll to make I made ringletts for mine she looks very cute
Good evening. I’m a self taught knitter/crocheter and normally make animals and booties etc. for my grandchildren. However when my wife saw Molly she had to have it! It is a very well written and easy to follow pattern and was my first advanced pattern i tackled. She turned out great but shes BALD. I can’t figure out how to attach the hair. I’ve made crocheted hair before but the wife wants the real-look hair and i’m stumped. If you could help me I would very much appreciate it.
How tall in inches is Molly?
It’s about 10.6 inches tall if you use the specified yarn and hook.
Thank you so much for this lovely pattern. Could not find the right hair, so I cut lengths of brown double knitting wool and unravelled this. She has a full head of slightly frizzy hair. She looks great.
Great! 🌷💕
Merci beaucoup
Thanks for sharing. Beautiful pattern.I will surely try and make one.God bless you dear.
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing.God bless you dear.I will surely make one for me.

Why do you insert cardboard soles into the feet? Do you need to use it?
Hi Lisa 🙂 It’s optional.
Thanks. Just wondering what the benefit is of putting it in.
What is a “half single stitch”? Referring to the shoe round 5 in front loop only done in white?
Hi Nancy, this is the same as slip stitch 🙂
hi, thanks for this pattern , but I want to know the weight of the yarn balls please .
It’s fine/baby/4 ply yarn
beautiful pattern ..pls help how to make it self standing ?
You can insert hard insoles inside the shoes and add poly pellets to stabilize the doll weight.
Thanks so much for this pattern, I just finished making Molly… I love how she turned out.. I used 8ply wool.
Thank you for your feedback, Sharon 🌹🙂
How big is the finished doll?
The size of finished doll depends on your yarn weight and hook size 🙂
Hello, trying to make Molly doll but finding it difficult where to join the legs. Can you help please?
Do you have other patterns for clothes for this doll? Link please
Hi Marsha 🙂 We don’t have other clothes patterns at the moment, but we’re going to make some in the future 🙂
Thank you, so much! All the things, it’s very interesting
In Rnd 8 on the vest: If you do 6 dc, inc and then repeat 6 times, you would come up with 48 stitches and not 42. (See Rnd 41 on the body). Could you please explain? Thanks!
Hi can you tell me how you stitch the hair tresses to the head.
Thanks
Sheena
Thank you for the lovely pattern. But when I reached the bag I got stuck: in the second row it says: dc in the next 24 sts, 5 dc in one st, dc in next 24 st crochet around with sl st in the place of joining withthe first dc crochet 2 chain.
Could you please explain the whole thing again.
Thx
Hi, could you please explain more how to do the bag.
Thx
