How to Make a Tiny One Inch Baby (Crochet Pattern)



I love miniatures. They are so cute and fun to make. And these tiny babies have become a favorite of mine. Since a lot of people have asked, I decided to share parts of the pattern for free here. 


The pattern for the doll is available in my Etsy shop. Link here: ONE INCH DOLL

Diaper and Bonnet:

Materials

1. Cotton perle threads size 12:
     -  DMC (white) - for diaper
     -  Oren Bayan (or DMC) - color of choice for bonnet

2. Hook:
     -  Size 12 (or 1.00 mm); I use Boye

3. Sewing Needle

4. Scissors

Abbreviations

fsc - foundation single crochet
sc - single crochet
hdc - half double crochet
sl st - slip stitch
rnd - round
ch - chain
mr - magic ring
dc - double crochet

Bonnet Pattern
Join rounds with sl st and ch 2. 
Leave a long tail when making the mr.

rnd 1: mr, ch 2 and 8 hdc in the ring - 8 sts

rnd 2: inc - 16 sts

rnd 3: (1 hdc, inc) x8 - 24 sts

rnds 4 - 5: hdc around - 24 sts

After rnd 5, only ch 1

rnd 6: skip 1 and 5 dc in next; skip 1 and sl st in next; skip 1 and 5 dc in next (repeat until you have 4 shells)

After you make the 4th shell, skip 1 and slip stitch in next. Then make 12 chain. Fasten off.

With a needle pull the thread from the mr to the other end of the shell pattern. Then make 12 chain and fasten off. 

Diaper

row 1: make 13 fsc
row 2: turn and sl st in 1st fsc from hook; 1 sc in 4 fsc; ch 1 and turn - 4 sts
row 3: dec twice; ch 1 and turn - 2 sts
rows 4 - 6: sc; ch 1 and turn - 2 sts
row 7: inc twice - 4 sts

Fasten off.

Sew the the two ends of the fsc together. Then fold the middle part and sew to the fsc strap you made earlier. Note: Sew in 3 of the fsc so that you will have 3 fsc on each side. Refer to pictures below.

Weave in the ends when finished.




And the baby is finished. These sweet little munchkins will make a great little gift for guests at baby showers. They can also be added to any dollhouse and miniature collection.

HAPPY CROCHETING!
