Introduction

Welcome back to my channel! In this video, I'm going to take you along with me on a special project for my son Georgie. He's a big fan of the TV show Bluey, and there's going to be a meet and greet event nearby. I've decided to crochet a Bluey doll for him as a surprise. Join me on this journey as I create this special gift for Georgie.

Making Plans for Georgie's Surprise

Georgie has been obsessed with Bluey lately, so when I found out about the meet and greet event, I knew I had to do something special. I decided to crochet a Bluey doll for him and surprise him with it on the day of the event. I even bought him a Bluey shirt to complete the surprise. I'm so excited to see his reaction!

Choosing the Pattern and Materials

After some research, I found a pattern for a Bluey doll on the Crafts Artsy website. The pattern is quite large, with the biggest roll of yarn coming out to around 90 rounds. I'm using Sweet Snuggles Light yarn and a 5.5mm crochet hook. The pattern also includes Bingo, Bluey's sister, but I will tackle that later since I don't have all the necessary yarn colors at the moment.

Crocheting the Legs and Feet

I started off strong by crocheting Bluey's legs using white and light blue yarn. This part of the process is quite time-consuming as it requires a lot of yarn. I'm using a time-lapse video to document my progress, but it's hard to predict how long it will take to complete.

Creating the Face and Features

I also worked on crocheting Bluey's tail, eyebrows, ears, and nose. The pattern includes all these details to make the doll more realistic. I'm really happy with how they turned out and can't wait to see Georgie's face when he sees them.

Working on the Body

Next, I started working on the body. It's a significant part of the doll, and I wanted to make sure it looked even and well-crafted. I had to be extra careful and pay attention to the pattern to ensure the correct shape. The stitches are coming out beautifully, and I'm proud of my progress.

Adding the Arms

After completing the body, it was time to add the arms. Unfortunately, I ran out of yarn for the hand part, so I had to put that on hold until I could get more. I attached the arms to the body and continued working on other parts.

Color Changes and Progress

I reached the point where I had to change colors, transitioning from the light blue to a darker shade. This required several rows of the new color. It took some time, but I was excited to see the doll take shape and become more recognizable as Bluey.

Finishing touches and Stuffing

Once all the crocheting was done, I stuffed the Bluey doll to give it volume and make it cuddly. I was careful not to overstuff it, as I wanted it to retain its shape. Then, I sewed on the facial features such as the eyes and used hot glue for the snout. The doll was finally complete!

The Final Reveal and Surprise

I couldn't wait any longer to surprise Georgie with his very own Bluey doll. On the day of the meet and greet event, I presented him with the handmade gift. His face lit up with joy, and seeing his happiness melted my heart. It was all worth it. I will treasure this moment forever.
