Introduction

Miffy, the adorable little rabbit, has captured the hearts of many with her cute appearance and lovable personality. If you're a fan of Miffy and want to create your own crocheted version, you're in the right place. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the step-by-step process of making a crocheted Miffy doll, starting from the legs all the way to the dress. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced crocheter, this tutorial will provide detailed instructions to help you bring Miffy to life. So, let's dive in and start crafting!

1. Making the Legs

To begin creating your crocheted Miffy doll, we'll start with making the legs. Follow these steps to crochet the legs:

2.1. Magic Ring To form the base of the leg, we'll start with a magic ring. Wrap the yarn around your fingers, forming a circle, and insert your hook through the loop. Pull the yarn through the loop, creating two loops. Twist the second loop to the front and pull the yarn through the loop, securing the magic ring.

2.2. Round One In round one, you'll need to make six single crochet stitches into the magic ring. To make a single crochet, insert your hook into the ring, pull the yarn through, and yarn over. Then, pull through both loops on the hook. Repeat this process for a total of six single crochet stitches.

2.3. Rounds Two to Four For rounds two to four, make one single crochet into each stitch. Since there are six stitches from round one, you'll have six single crochet stitches in each round. Don't forget to use a stitch marker to keep track of the starting point.

3. Making the Body

Once the legs are complete, it's time to move on to making the body of your crocheted Miffy doll. Follow these steps to crochet the body:

3.1. Joining the Legs To join the legs together, insert your hook into any stitch of the first leg. Pull the yarn through and make a single crochet stitch. Place a stitch marker on that stitch to mark the starting point of round five. In round five, you'll need to make single crochet stitches in each stitch of both legs, resulting in a total of 12 stitches.

3.2. Rounds Five to Eleven For rounds five to eleven, continue making single crochet stitches in each stitch. Each round will consist of 12 single crochet stitches. Use the stitch marker to keep track of the starting point in each round.

3.3. Round Twelve In round twelve, it's time to make decrease stitches. Insert your hook into the next stitch, pull the yarn through, and insert your hook into another stitch. Pull the yarn through both loops on the hook to complete a decrease stitch. Repeat this process for a total of nine single crochet stitches.

4. Making the Head

Now, let's move on to crafting the head of your crocheted Miffy doll. Follow these steps to crochet the head:

4.1. Round One For round one of the head, make nine increase stitches. This means you'll make an increase stitch in each stitch. You can choose your preferred method of making an increase stitch. The goal is to have a total of 18 stitches at the end of round one.

4.2. Rounds Two to Seven In rounds two to seven, make one single crochet in each stitch. Each round should have a total of 18 single crochet stitches. Stuff the head firmly with stuffing material once you finish these rounds.

4.3. Round Eight In round eight, make decrease stitches a total of 12 times. A decrease stitch involves inserting your hook into the next stitch, pulling the yarn through, and repeating the process with another stitch. Then, pull the yarn through all three loops on the hook.

4.4. Round Nine In the final round, round nine, make decrease stitches a total of six times. This will result in six single crochet stitches. Finish off by chaining one and leaving a long tail for sewing.

5. Making the Arms

Next, we'll create the arms for your crocheted Miffy doll. Follow these steps to crochet the arms:

5.1. Arm Pattern To make the arms, repeat the leg pattern from round one to three. Once the arms are complete, stuff them firmly and make two in total.

6. Making the Ears

To give your crocheted Miffy doll those signature bunny ears, follow these steps:

6.1. Ear Pattern Repeat the leg pattern from round one to four to create the ears. After round four, add a new round where you make a single crochet in each stitch. Finish off by chaining one and leaving a long tail for sewing. Make two ears in total.

7. Making the Dress

Now, let's dress up your crocheted Miffy doll with a cute little dress. Follow these steps to crochet the dress:

7.1. Dress Pattern Start by making a slip knot and then chain 18. Skip one chain and make a single crochet in the second chain. Continue making single crochet stitches, chain four, skip four stitches, and make two single crochet stitches in the last two stitches. This completes the first row of the dress. Follow the remaining instructions in the tutorial video to complete the dress.
