 Thanks for checking the pattern out! This is my first written pattern so bare with me!
Thank you all so much for all the positive feedback and love on my crochet doll, I’m really glad there’s so much interest! If you do
end up making one, make sure to tag me in the above mentioned platforms! I’d love to see your work.
Car Seat Headrest is a really important band to me and I got a lot of joy out of making this. I hope you feel the same! Good luck
crocheting! Feel free to contact me if you need clarification/have any questions on the pattern.

Notes
-Read through the pattern before starting
-Doll is a little over a foot tall from legs to ear tips
-The doll isn’t made to stand up, it wants to sit propped up against something, like pictured above.
-With each round, move the stitch counter to make sure you have an accurate stitch count
-Since the doll does have wire in it, refrain from letting children use it as a toy.
-I am no embroidery expert, my technique is mostly guesswork. If you know a better way to achieve the eye shape, do
so.
-If you are struggling with the leg/body joining, I referenced

Materials
-White worsted weight (size 4) yarn​- The brand doesn't matter. I used 100% acrylic yarn, but you can get away with
any composition.
-​Black embroidery floss + embroidery needle. ​Alternatively, you can use black yarn and a tapestry needle, but I feel
that embroidery floss allows for a cleaner look.
-​US 5.50 mm hook​ (or whichever hook you find works best for size 4 yarn, really any hook within 1 mm of that I find
works fine)
-​Tapestry needle
-​Stitch counter:​ an earring or paperclip works just fine
-​Stuffing
-​Wire​: I use 1.2mm gauge wire (This is used in the arms so they are poseable- you can certainly skip this step if you
want)
-​Wooden stick OR wire (around 6.5 inches)​: I used a shish kabob stick I had laying around the house, but any
generally thin stick/wire will do- this is used to prop up the head, as the neck is very skinny.

 Terms
(Look up stitches if needed)
-sl​: slip stitch
-sc​: single crochet
-invdec​: invisible decrease
-sc2tog​: single crochet two together
-ch:​ chain
-magic​ ​circle​ (ch2, sl in second chain from hook, insert x amount of stitches into sl)

And so we begin!

 Legs
Make 2
Round 1: ​With white, 6sc in a magic circle, pull tight (6)
Round 2:​ (2sc in first stitch, 1sc in next) 3 times (9)
Rounds 3-16: ​1 sc around (9) (make sure you don’t accidentally add/drop stitches,
working with a small stitch count is tricky) ​NOTE​: usually, when working with such
a small stitch count, I don’t mark each round with a stitch counter. I tend to just
crochet around until the piece reaches the desired length- in this case, the legs
measure 4.5 inches.
Ch1, cut yarn, and pull through ch to fasten off. Leave a long enough tail to weave
into the body (this will be how you fasten off throughout the project)
Repeat​ for the second leg, but do ​NOT​ cut yarn

From where you left off on the second leg, ​ch2​. Sl into the last stitch you made on the other leg to join the legs. (see
image above for reference)

Body
Round 1: ​sc in the next 9 (the stitches around the top of the leg you
just attached the other leg to), sc in the stitch you joined the legs
together with, sc in the next 2 chained stitches you used to attach the
legs. You should now be at the second leg. Sc in the stitch where you
chained 2, then sc in the next 8 around the leg. 1 sc in the same stitch
as the chain. You should now be ready to sc in the chained stitches.
Place a stitch marker in the last stitch. (23) The photo (left) shows
what the legs should look like after round 1.
Round 2: ​sc in the 2 chained stitches. You should now be at the top of
the other leg. 1 sc in the next 21 stitches until you reach your stitch
marker.
Rounds 3-12: ​1 sc around (23). Stuff legs as you go. You may find it
helpful to use a stick (pencil or back of crochet hook works fine) to
stuff the legs evenly and firmly. OPTIONAL: You can add wire in the legs
to make the figure more poseable, but I didn’t.

Round 13:​ 2​ ​sc2tog, sc in the next 5, 4 sc2tog, sc in the next 5 (17)
Round 14: ​2 sc2tog, 3 sc, 2 sc2tog, 3 sc (12)
Round 15:​ 2 sc2tog, 2 sc, sc2tog, 2 sc (8)
Round 16: ​sc around (8)
Fasten off. Leave a long tail for sewing the head on. Insert the 6.5 inch stick into
the neck. The photo (left) shows the body from the side view with the stick
inserted. The stick should reach to the bottom of the body. Try to position it so
the stick doesn't stick out of the body.

Head
Round 1: ​sc 6 stitches into a magic circle
Round 2: ​2 sc in next 6 (12)
Round 3: ​(2 sc in next stitch, 1 sc in next 1) 6 times (18)
Round 4: ​(2 sc in next stitch, 1 sc in next 2) 6 times (24)
Round 5: ​(2sc in next stitch, 1 sc in next 3) 6 times (30)
Rounds 6-9: ​sc around (30)
Round 10: ​(invdec, sc in next 4) 5 times (25)
Round 11-12: ​sc around (25)
Round 13: ​(invdec, sc in the next 3) 5 times (20)
Rounds 14-15: ​sc around (20)
Begin stuffing, and continue to stuff evenly as you work.
Round 16: ​(invdec, sc in next 2) 5 times (15)
Round 17-18: ​sc around (15)
Round 19: ​(invdec, sc in next) 5 times (10)
Round 20: ​sc around (10)
Round 21: ​(invdec, sc in next) 5 times, sc in next (7)
Round 22: ​sc around (7)
Round 23: ​invdec, sc in next 2, invdec, sc in next stitch (5)

Cut yarn, leaving a long enough strand to weave in. Thread the yarn in a tapestry needle and sew up the snout.

To attach the head to the body, first thread the tapestry needle with the strand left on the neck See the marked
stitch on the head (below) where the stick will be inserted. Insert the head onto the stick, making sure that the
raised part of the chest corresponds to the
front of the head.. Position the head so it tilts
down slightly. Use the thread attached to the
neck to sew the head to the neck. When done,
weave the thread into the body.

Ears
Make 2
Round 1:​ sc 4 in a magic circle, pull tight (4)
Round 2: ​sc around (4)
Round 3: ​(2sc in next st, sc in next) 2 times (6)
Rounds 4-11: ​sc around (6) You
may choose to stuff so your “ears
perk up”, but I didn’t.
NOTE: ​Just like I did with the legs,
you can sc around without stitch
marking each round until the ear
reaches 3.5 inches long. Cut yarn.
Leave a long enough strand to sew
the ears onto the head. See photos
for ear placement.

 Arms
Make 2
Round 1: ​6 sc in a magic circle, pull tight (6)
Round 2: ​(2sc in next stitch, 1 sc in next 2) (8)
Rounds 3-5: ​sc around (8)
Round 6: ​(invdec, 1 sc in next 2) (6)
Rounds: 7-15​ sc around 6 (6)
NOTE: ​Just like I did with the legs, you can sc around without stitch marking
each round until the arm reaches 5.5 inches long.
To attach arms:​ Cut a length of wire about a foot long. Insert it into one of
the arms, and lightly stuff the arm around the wire. Insert the other end of the
wire through the body where shown (around where you started decreasing
stitches for the neck). I find it easiest to thread the tapestry needle with the
wire, then pull it through the body. (shown right) Lightly stuff the other arm,
then slip it onto the wire. Use the strands attached to the arms to sew the arms onto the body.

Details
Use black embroidery floss to add the eyes, mouth, and nipples. Alternatively, you may use black yarn and a tapestry
needle if you don’t have embroidery floss.

Eyes
I start out by inserting my needle in the 3rd stitch directly diagonal from the
ear, then embroidering diagonally down about a stitch, then up a stitch, as
shown right. Then, I embroider a small loop, then sew back to the vertex,
make a small stitch over the vertex, then go back to the starting point. I do
this 3 times. Once you are satisfied with the thickness of the eye, sew under
and around the threads, “wrapping” them with the floss. Pull the needle
through the head to create the other eye in the same position. When done, cut
the thread and tuck it into the head.

Nose
Use the same technique as the eyes to create the mouth. Try your best to position it directly in the middle of the
snout.

Nipples
(these make the project, in my opinion)
Use a french knot embroidery stitch (I use 6 loops) to make the nipples.
Place them 4 stitches apart on the chest where shown. Tuck the thread
into the body. I find it easy to bring the thread behind the arms and
then tuck it in there so the front looks cleaner.
