HairNow 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

R10 Inc1, sc8 x6 (60 sts)
R11 Inc1, sc9 x6 (66 sts)
R12-R15 sc66 sts
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.
Start working, make few, place it on the head and see if you like
them to be that way. Play and have fun. It really is fun! 😀
I will give you directions n how I did the ringlets. Will give you the
instructions on two bunches with 5 ringlets each and you decide if
you will make them looking as one or will sew them as two pony
tails on each side of the head.
I made each different size. Some are the same, some are not. Was
making the chains from 45-50 stitches.
In instructions will say 45 for each ringlet, but you increase or
decrease as much as you like it.
Ch 47
Starting at the third stitch from the hook, stitch 3dc, repeat this for
each stitch on this chain. (3dc in one st)
Reaching the end chain 47 again and repeat 3dc in each st.
This way make all 5 ringlets. Tie off and leave long end for sewing
them on the head later.
Make two of such ringlets bunches
Bangs
I did almost the same way. Didn’t have the same shade of purple
that’s why these are little bit darker. Use same color yarn for the
bangs.
For the bangs I also started with chain
Ch23
Sl.st.22
Make 3 more the same way
Instead of crocheting the bangs, you can just sew on few bangs on
top of the head when hair will be done (before placing the bow). It
is easier and also gives very nice effect.
Shoes
Starting with sole base (chose the color)
Ch8
R1 sc6, 3sc in one st, continue working on the other side of the
chain, sc5, 2sc in one st (16 sts)
R2 inc1, sc5, inc3, sc5 inc2 (22 sts)
Change color in one you like shoes to be.
R3-R4 sc22 sts
R5 sc5, dec3, sc8 (16 sts)
R6 sc5, dec4, sc5 (14 sts)
R7 sc6, ch1 turn backwards and stitch 12 sts
(from this point on we will be working the rows, not continuous
rounds)
R8-R13 sc12 sts
Change color (or use this one you have been working with) and
single crochet around the edges .
Wave in the shoe laces with needle and thread of your choice.
I made chain and used it as shoe lace, but you can use a piece of
yarn or thin bow.
You can make boots higher if you like.
Or, what can be done is to stitch the socks using the back loops
only on the boots (making the sock or just nice lace effect coming
out of the boots). Giving you just few ideas you can try to play with
Dress!
Uf! This can be done 1001 way, trust me!
It was challenging to make it in one piece without buttons,
zippers…and easy enough for girls that will play with the doll be
able to take it off and change (if you will make a several 😉 ).
Dress is not done in continuous rounds. So after each row, ch1 or
ch2, depending if you are starting with single crochet od double
one. Finishing the row, slip stitch the last stitch to the first chain
you started.
I have started my dress with chain of 36 stitches. Before closing the
chain into circle, check if it fits to your doll (so you can add or
decrease stitch or two).
Here we go:
Dress
Use color of your choice for the base dress color
Upper part
Ch 36, sl.st. to close the chain into a ring
R1 sc36
R2 sc36
R3 dc36
R4 dc36
R5 dc36
R6 ch2, skip one st, sl.st1 repeat all the way around
Using long chain (yu made out of thread, yarn) in color of your
choice, or string, or bow, wave in between the R5-R6 starting in
front of the dress, going allthe way around and finishing in front
right before you started. This we will use to close the dress after it
is put on the doll, to give her nice fitting effect 😉
Turn the dress upside down, to where we have started with the
chain row. We are making the skirt now. Slip stitch to any stitch
and start with our first row making the bottom of the dress.
I used yellow yarn here (that was later decorated with green) to
make belt effect on this dress. You can change the color or just
continue with the same one you have worked the top with.
Skirt:
Skirt:
R1 sc36 blo

R4 dc in each st
R5 2dc in each st
R6 dc in each st
R7 2dc in each st

R4 2dc in each st
R5 dc each st
R6 2dc in each st
Change color (I used green here)
R7 ch2, skip one st, sl.st repeat till the end of this row.
Put the dress on the doll. Tighten the upper part with the bow or
string you waved in, and mark best place where the strings for the
shoulder sleeves would go best. This is how I did it.
Mark all four points. Two in front and two on the back, take the
dress off the doll and start making the shoulder strings in the same
color as the dress was made.
R1 Sl.st. at the front of the dress. Ch10, sl.st at the back (of the
same shoulder side)
Change color (first one I did was pink, and now was switching to
turquoise)
R2 sc10 st
Change color (mine is yellow here)
R3 ch2, skip one st, sl.st1 repeat till end
Tie off sew and hide ends nicely
In addition there is bow to make on the belt, and if you like you can
add one row of zig-zag motif.
Choose what will you use for the belt. Starting at front, wave in the
string or bow or whatever you have chosen for this.
In one of the rows where you have front loops visible slip stitch the
yarn in color of your choice and make this motif:
Ch2, skip one stitch, sl.st all the way around.
Tie off, hide the ends.
Bow
Ch18
R1 2dc, 2hdc, 2sc, 4sl.st. 2sc, 2hdc, 2dc, ch2, turn
R2-4 repeat the pattern from R1
When finished with R4, sc all the way around the bow.
Tie off, hide the end.
Bow middle
Ch8 (one color)
R1 sc7 (second color)
R2 ch2, skip one, sl.st1 repeat for all the stitches (third color)
Tie or sew this piece at the middle of the bow, and sew the bow
nicely on top of the head.
Finishing:
Hair:
Place the hair “cap” on, Position it the way you like it the best.
Safety pin it and sew it all around.
Now place the ringlets the way you want them to be. Safety pin
them and sew them so they stay at place where you wanted them
to be.
If you are using bangs with slip stitched chains, the way I made my
Oopsie doll, place it on the very top of the head, safety pin each
bang and sew one by one, little by little on the front of the head.
At the end sew on the bow, One in the middle, on top of the head,
or two at sides, depending how you will make your ringlets to be.
Eyes:
Use little bit of black felt. Place the buttons you will use of eyes on
the felt, draw the outline and cut out two black felt pieces you will
put under the buttons.
We will glue them first. Buttons on the felt and felt on the head, so
once sewed on will stay nice and firm.
For eye lashes cut black felt, making kind of V shape pattern (as for
two lashes to stick on the eye sides).
Safety pin the eyes and using black thread sew them on the head.
With embroidery needle and black thread, sew the smiling mouth.
Using pink felt, cut two circles of about 1cm big and glue them on
the face. I used regular all purpose crystal glue.
If you don’t have the felt for eyes or cheeks. Embroider the
eyelashes on each side of the eye. Use little bit of powder blush for
the cheeks.
Was a little work to do for this doll but at the end it’s al worth it.
Hope you enjoyed making Oopsie and most of all hope your kids will
enjoy playing with one! 😀
