Hello I love your patterns. I started the Molly Doll however it was the previous pattern with the winter hat. I was wondering if there was a way to get the hat pattern?
Thank you so much for this pattern for us to make. I have already made this doll but I would love to make one twice the size that this out came out tobe so my question is I would love to make this doll a bit larger how would you recommend on doing that using the same size yarn and hook size how many more stitches do I need to add to each row make it larger? Thank you and have a wonderful blessed day
PS I am new at crocheting I have not figured it out yet lol
You can use thicker yarn or work with two strands of your current yarn.
Any suggestions on how to make the hair?

Hi Karen,
Here is an old hat pattern:
Crochet in rounds. Begin each round with 2 ch and finish with sl st.
Rnd 1: 60 ch
Rnd 2: dc in the next 60 st [60]
Rnd 3-13: (FPDC in the next 2 st, BPDC in the next 2 st) repeat 15 times [60]

Close the opening, weave in the end. Make a pompom and sew it on the top of the hat.
Please note that now the size of head is 66 st. So you need to make the hat a bit bigger.

I am making this doll and I’m confused with the sweater. It says 9th and 22 for the armhole. What the heck does that mean and what is the 45th stitch mean?
Hi Elizabeth 🙂 It means to skip 12 stitches between 9th and 22nd st and crochet 9th and 22nd st together as 1 dc st (like decrease). You will get an armhole.
Thanks for sharing the pattern. I love it.
Hi has anyone got the pattern of Mr Bean him self.or where would get it.(not the teddy ) thank u
Hi. I see you changed the pattern. Could you please offer the original Molly doll pattern for sale please.
Hi
Cute doll but are there more clothes choices for it. Perhaps a dress, skirt or overalls since she could be made into a boy as well.
I bought the download but the blue dress isn’t included right? 🙁
Olá, naõ consegui entender como se faz a bolsa.
Hi,how much yarn from each colour is needed?
Can anyone tell me at what point should I stuff the head
I’m new st this but pattern seems easy enough to follow. I have one question that is probably seems silly but when do I stuff the head?
Hi Theresa 🙂 Thank you. Please stuff the head when it is finished.
Beautiful pattern. Is there a pattern for the light blue dress for this doll that is on the other picture?
Hello,
I’m wanting to make this doll for my daughters, my sister, and my nieces. I was wondering if the color ecru was similar to milk color? I mainly use cotton yarn for my amigurumis and I cannot find it in the milk color thank you so much for the pattern
Hola en español lo podrán publicar por favor es una maravilla… Aplaudo tu creatividad… Gracias
Thanks so much for this beauty.. everything went fine with the whole doll..
The bag is the only problem.. it’s not clear enough.. please make us a favor please and explain it more clearly..
Thanks a lot.
Hello!
I just finished the doll & vest. I have done the vest twice, but both came out to be so much bigger for the doll. Any adjustments that you can suggest?
Thank you.
Do you use the same yarn as for the body?
Yes I did. I just made some adjustments with the stitch count.
Round 27 I have 24 stitches , round 29 I’m supposed to dec. and still have 24?
Hi Victoria, in the end of Rnd 28 you will have 14 st of body + 14 st of arms = 28 st. You need to join arms, so the quantity of stitches is increasing while working on Rnd 28.
Hola… Muchas gracias por compartir… Es muy bella esta muñeca… Pero tengo una duda… No puedo hacer la cartera… Habrá otra explicación porfavor… Si me pudiera ayudar… Muchas gracias
please help round nine confuses me if i start my round from the last stitch i made on round eight, the front does not look right the shaping is on the side
I reckon (dc in next 5 , inc) repeat 6 time. Was it a typo?)))
Hi there! Thanks a lot for sharing first of all. I love my Molly)))
I am just having trouble with counting stitches of a vest. Row 7 ends up with 36 stitches. Row 8 ( dc in next 6 sts , inc ) repeat 6 times but 6 by 6 is already 36 plus inc = 12 sts. Plz help
Thank you for sharing your pattern. I have quite a bit of Molly finished thus far, but I thought I would share my frustration in hopes of saving others the same frustration. When crocheting the trim around the edge of her shirt, the pattern does not specify, but you need to have Molly’s feet facing away from you to get it to lay neatly, rather than flip upwards and when starting the arms.
shuli thanks for the wonderfull pattern i finish it and i need help to stabilize the doll can you explane in more detail where to put the stick what length is it i tried it and didnt succeed my granddauter wants it so much thanks
Hi, could you please help with the bag round 3 onwards. I am confused if I should keep going around or turning stitches
Hi Carol, Molly Doll pattern will be updated in August 🙂
I’m having difficulty understanding Rnd 8 on the vest. I’m not able to get the (1dc in the next 6 sts, inc) repeat 6 times. I keep running out of stitches.
I’m having the same problem with the vest in Rnd 8
Can you please explain round 7 of the vest in kindergarten terms? I can not seem to understand your previous explanation for it. I am not understanding how to make the arm holes crocheting 9 and 22 stitches and 41 and 54 stitches. I am totally clueless. Please help me
Hi 🙂 It means to skip 12 stitches between 9th and 22nd st and crochet 9th and 22nd st together as 1 dc st (like decrease). You will get an armhole.
How do you reinforce the neck for a wobbly head?
Hi! I’m in the process of making this now. Can I share a picture with you when I am done? Thanks so much for the pattern. My granddaughter is very excited to watch me make this and is waiting anxiously for me to finish it.
Hi Terri 🙂 You can share your pictures in our Facebook group >> https://www.facebook.com/groups/amigurumidollscrochet
Hi Terri,
Did you understand how to do the purse?
Thanks for sharing. I’ve wanted to learn how to make a doll for the longest. I’m starting on her today
I’m going to try making her with Redheart Super Saver just because it’s what’s in my stash. It being a heavier yarn could anyone suggest an approximate hook size to try?
I too am going to be using worsted weight 4 yarn. I plan on using 3.25mm or 3.5mm. I just finished a doll pattern using this kind of yarn and a 3.75mm hook. And I could see the stuffing through the body. So I’m going down a size. And also take acct that your doll will be much bigger if you are using thicker yarn and a bigger hook. Possibly 12″-17″.
Hi, could you please explain more how to do the bag.
Thx
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
Could you crochet the bag? I struggle in understanding the pattern of the bag – the 2nd row??
Hi can you tell me how you stitch the hair tresses to the head.
Thanks
Sheena
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!
Thank you, so much! All the things, it’s very interesting
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 🙂
Hello, trying to make Molly doll but finding it difficult where to join the legs. Can you help please?
How big is the finished doll?
The size of finished doll depends on your yarn weight and hook size 🙂
I had a hard time finding IceYarns Baby Summer yarns and Wool Light yarns in USA stores (AC Moore and JoAnn crafts). I found out that Ice Yarns.com had IceYarns category for amigurumi yarns but I cannot find IceYarns Wood Light yarns with 2 colors. Plus, I am confused which crochet hook size 2.0 mm that I cannot find crochet brand with Susan Bates. I need your help where people on this web page that people bought crochet hook 2.0 with which brand name. How many yarns do I need to buy one each color to make Molly Doll?
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 🌹🙂
Hi. I confused about bag.. How to do sl st across the sides at wrong side? Than how I will turn wrong side in?
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.
hi, thanks for this pattern , but I want to know the weight of the yarn balls please .
It’s fine/baby/4 ply yarn
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 🙂
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.
I’ve just finished Molly and she’s so sweet , no trouble what so ever with pattern she ia just like the picture! But I don’t see the Bag pattern working with just 4 rounds. What am I missing with the bag pattern. Thanks for pattern.

This doll is so cute. Thank you

Thanks for sharing. Beautiful pattern.I will surely try and make one.God bless you dear.
Merci beaucoup
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! 🌷💕
How tall in inches is Molly?
It’s about 10.6 inches tall if you use the specified yarn and hook.
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.
What a lovely doll to make I made ringletts for mine she looks very cute
Hello. What does lifting ch mean?
Hi Dimitra, it is the same as turning ch, a simple ch needed for lifting.
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 🙂 🙂 🙂
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…
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
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 am Australian and using 8ply and size 3 crocheting hook -only done head and legs so far all is Ok
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.
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,
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.
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 🙂
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 🙂
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 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
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.
Doing doll now so far doing good first doll I’m doing by pattern I usually watch videos
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 🙂
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.
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 🙂
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 🙂
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
Sencillamente…..PRECIOSOS……. Gracias por estos patrones.Un saludo
Preciosos, me gustan muchísimo, gracias poe ellos
Gracias por los patrones,me gustan
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! 🌷
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
Impossible for me to download this template or print it.
You can buy PDF version of the pattern in our store https://shop.amigurumi.today/products/molly-doll-crochet-pattern-printable-pdf
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.
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.
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
Could you please help me with row seven of the vest? I don’t understand it. Thank you.

thanks for the pattern. my g/daughter wanted one since she was one year. now she’s five
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

The vest is made upside down, so the instructions may seem weird but it works out great
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! 💖💖💖
Beautiful pattern.Thanks for sharing. Enjoyed making the doll.

Where can I purchase the hair tresses?
Hi Diane, please try to find it in beauty supply store or handcraft shop.
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
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 🙂
Maravilloso todo. Gracias
🌷🌷🌷
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 🙂
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…
