The Doll Project N° I
BEAR „BINA“
THAT‘S WHAT YOU NEED:
• 2 mm (US 0) or 2,5 mm (US 1 ½) crochet hook
• 3 mm (US 2 ½) knitting needles
• tapestry needle
• 2 different yarns calling for 2,5 mm (US 1 ½) hook
• another yarn calling for 3 mm (US 2 ½) knitting needles
• 2 black 6 mm (0,2 inch) glass eyes (or use some safety
eyes or black yarn to embroider, if the doll is made for
a baby)
• soft stuffing (like cotton wool, polyfill, etc.)
FIRST OF ALL:
Make sure you crochet pretty tight all the way to prevent
getting large stretching holes between the stitches so the
stuffing doesn‘t get out nce you‘ve firmly filled the doll with
stuffing. If you crochet rather loosely, use a smaller hook size
(2 mm / US 0). Of course you can choose other yarns - the
choice of yarn is completely up to you and your personal
taste. The doll‘s measurements may change so make sure to
adjust the size of the eyes accordingly.
Using the following yarns on a 2,25 mm hook, the doll will
measure 27 cm (10,5 inch) total.
MC yarn (brown) ≈ 50g
SMC Regia Tweed, 4 ply - color N°10
CC1 yarn (white or light creme) ≈ 25g
SMC Catania Fine, 4ply - color N°1005
yarn for the scarf I used a wool-silk yarn on 3 mm (US 2 ½)
knitting needles

When you‘ve finished both legs hold them side by side (the tip-toes should point outward slightly). Now sc tog one st of 1st and 2nd
leg at a time to connect the two legs (chart 01). Here is the new beginning of all following rounds. Now work 46 sc across both legs
(chart 02) After that you should be right between the legs facing the backside of the body. (= rnd. 01 of the body)
TIP: It‘s easier to fill in some stuffing material into the legs now - when you have finished the body it‘s harder to stuff the legs firmly,
because of the small opening at the end.

SCARF (knitting) I used a rest of a yarn on 3 mm (US 2 ½) needles
Count on 8 sts on 3 mm (US 2 ½) needles
*
1. row p first row (WS) – turn
2. row k next row (RS) – turn
*
repeat * to * in stockinette stitch until scarf measures 55 cm (21,5 inches). Bind off with RS facing and break yarn.
Finally add some fringe at both ends of the scarf.
ASSEMBLING
1st STEP – HEAD & HOOD:
Fill the head with soft stuffing very firmly! Put the eyes in place - at
the height of the head‘s first dec-rnd. The distance between the
eyes corresponds almost exactly the space between two dec‘s at
the same rnd. Now fix the eyes inside the head using remaining
yarn from head piece. To join the hood and the head crochet or
sew 11 sts of the hood and 11 sts of the head‘s opening together
(as shown on the photos). ears
2nd STEP – HOOD, HEAD & BODY:
Fill the legs and the body very firmly with soft stuffing material. To
join the head and the body single crochet (using 2 strands of MC
yarn brown held together) or sew one stitch of each piece together hood
at a time all the way around.
3rd STEP – ARMS & BODY:
Fill the lower half of the arms with soft stuffing and sew both arms
head
onto the body - underneath the next-to-last round.
4th STEP – HOOD & EARS: Sew or crochet the ears onto
the hood.
tail
5th STEP – BODY & TAIL: Sew the tail in right position onto
the body.
body
6th STEP – HEAD (not necessary but cute details):
Add some yarn-hair around the head if you prefer. Maybe you like
a light blush on the cheeks – use a fabric marker in light pink color
and add a blush underneath the eyes carefully.
