Helpful Notes!
The head features a lot of color changing. I recommend checking out these techniques to do it cleanly
and easily. The feet features some short color changes, you can simply carry the yarn for those.

Even if you don't want to wire your whole doll, you should still use wire or something similar for
support in the neck, and stuff the neck firmly. The head might be floppy otherwise.

To make him posable, I use a wire skeleton. Here's a good how-to on posable amigurumi

Leg Join
•Once you have both legs, line them up straight and pin Insert hook as shown (right
them together with a yarn needle or pin. handed) to begin r13.
•Attach yarn and sc in the 2 stitches where the legs touch
each other (going through both pieces). Begin by
inserting hook as shown, to ensure the round ends at
his back.

•Sc around both legs, making one big round (20sc). Ignore
the two stitches you made in the middle.

neck and head.

Jacket
In wine/jacket color, chain 16
***I like to finish off at the end of each row
and reattach at the next, to get a neater looking
fabric. If you can crochet both left & right handed,
that would also work. Working the piece normally
(ch1 & turn at the end of each row) will also work,
but will look slightly different.***

of r5a, sl st and finish off
•Wrap the jacket around the torso as shown and pin in
place.
•Sew the jacket to the body where the arms will be. This
doesn't have to be beautiful, just secure, because you'll be
sewing the arms over it. You can even just go back and forth
through the whole torso, if you find that easier to work.
•Line up the arms and sew them to the jacket piece.
•Sew the head to the neck.
•Latch hook 3 strands of hair color yarn to each foot, then
split and trim them.

Hair
I used the latch-hook method for his hair, if you're not familiar with it you can read about it here:
http://amigurumipatterns.blogspot.com/2008/10/how-to-add-hair-to-your-amigurumi.html
I used a 2.25mm (B) hook to help, and roughly 5” long strands of hair. I find it easier to work with
longer pieces and cut it afterward.
Attach strands along the rows and lines illustrated below. Then, using a yarn needle, neatly split all
the yarn into individual plies for a curly mop of hair. A little bit of a haircut, and you're done!

Trim his mullet into a better


The green lines show where Split all the yarn AFTER shape. The green dotted line is
hair is attached. attaching it. roughly how I trimmed.
