Bending doll for the doll house

DD was coming home from school today bursting with pride at her self made doll house furniture.
To put them at use I created a little doll girl for her.
Lucky enough I had the essentials at home and it took me just an hour or so to finish her.


Here's what she looks like:

And here's how to make your own:

You'll need:

• Bending doll "skeleton" (mine is looking like this and is 10 cm tall) 
• a piece of crafting felt
• a little amount of yarn fitting for a crochet needle size 3,5 mm, crochet needle
• glue (I like to use "Multikleber" from "CreaDirekt")
• wool for the hair
• if you like some paints for drawing the face
• scissors, pencil, needle & thread

The dress:

• Print the template, cut it out and paste it onto your felt. Cut the shape out of the felt.
• Fold in half and sew along the side seams of the dress.
• Fold inwards along the hand openings just a little to create a seam. Sew.
• Turn inside out.
• Cut a little slit for the neck. Slip on your doll and put on the head.

The belt:

• Chain about 30 - 40 cm. Break the yarn and fasten off. 
• Use the row of chains to chain again. When the "belt" is long enough to fit around the dolls middle, fasten off.
• Tie it around the doll and secure with a knot and a bow.

The hair: 

• Pull away three pieces of wool about 10 cm long and 3 cm wide.
• Glue one piece from the front to the back of the head leaving them to hang into the face.
• Glue the other to pieces from left to right onto the head. 
• Cut the bangs to desired length.

The hat:

• Chain about 25.
• Slip stitch into the first chain to make a circle
• Chain 1 and begin the first row. Work in circles from there on.
• Round 1 & 2: 1 single crochet in each single crochet.
• Round 3: single crochet together every 4th and 5th single crochet.
• Round 4: single crochet in each single crochet.
• Round 5: single crochet together every 3rd and 4th single crochet.
• Round 6: single crochet in each single crochet.
• Round 7: single crochet together every 2nd and 3rd single crochet.
• Round 8: single crochet in each single crochet.
• Round 9: single crochet together.
• Round 10: single crochet in each single crochet.
• Break yarn and fasten of. Close the tip of the hat and sew in thread.

If you want to you can draw a face or braid the hair.

Here's where she lives now. Now we're just missing a house. :-)
