Is there an error with the pattern for the boots? No matter what I do, I can’t get it to match up from the stitch count or the stitches from the previous rounday. Hope that makes sense.
Hi Erica! I can’t find any errors. I assume you use something like a stitch marker to mark the beginning of the rows so that’s why the stitch count doesn’t add up. In row No 2, the last sc3inc should be in the 9th chain from the row 2, which you skip in the beginning. In row No 3 last sc3inc should be in the middle sc of sc3inc you made in row No 2, so you have one stitch left! Row No 4 should start in that stitch.
I hope this makes sense 🙂 if not, I’ll take some step-by-step pictures. 🙂
Hi , do you have an tutorial for how to make the hair? i can’t figure out how you did it 🙂
No, sorry. I used a tapestry needle and one long strand of yarn…
Such a beautiful doll just started to crotchet her for my daughter and her friends which they all want different hair colour on dolls
Hi. I’m trying to do the hood, but after I can’t figure out how to do step 11. Am I supposed to do dc4 in one chain, and then dc10 in the next chain?
Thanks!
Hi Rachel. You did a ch7 in the row 10, you skipped first 3 chains, and than you should do one dc in every remaining chain (4 chains). Than continue by doing 10dc (one dc in every sc from the row 10), dc2inc x 2, again doing dc10, until you reach the chain. Dc in every chain (4chains).
Hope this helps 🙂
