Crochet Pattern for Seven Dwarfs and Little Snow White Dolls with Detailed Instructions and Variations

for Seven Dwarfs

ttern for Seven Dwarfs, there is of course another pattern to make Little Snow White, too. I prefer Catania from Schachenmayr (1o0 % 4-ply cotton), but you can use every other yarn you like with a hook in matching size. Note: using different yarn will probably change the size of the finished doll.

Materials:

Abbreviations:

3.00 crochet hook 4-ply cotton (Catania from Schachenmayr) in your favourite colours or in the colours I used, corresponding the following list. Note: Schachenmayr did unfortunately stop production of the colours red brown (210) and camel (179). As I started the Dwarfs, I did not know that and used just what I had in stock. For each dwarf: 2 black beads (4 mm) or safety eyes Polyester fiberfill ch = chain tch = turning chain (if working in rows) sc = single crochet st = stitch sl = slip stitch hdc = half double crochet R = round tog = together rep = repeat This project is working in continuous rounds. Do not join or turn unless otherwise stated. Mark first stitch of each round. Changing colour: Draw thread of new colour through last two loops of last stitch of first colour. Knot ends together.

Hair

Hair (front), short

Cut 14 pieces of yarn of approx. 10 cm, take 2 threads together and fix them over forehead as shown in picture. Split the yarn in its single threads to get smooth and slightly curly hair. Don't cut hair to its final length until cap is sewn to head.

Hair (front), long

Cut 14 pieces of yarn of approx. 17 cm, take 2 threads together and fix them on forehead as showen in picture. Split the yarn in its single threads to get smooth and slightly curly hair. Don't cut hair to its final length until cap is sewn to head. Divide hair in two parts, one half to the left, one to the right, insert hook under cap from backside to face (where there could be ears) and pull end of hair under cap.

Hair, long with braids

Cut 14 pieces of yarn of approx. 25, take 2 threads together and fix them on forehead as shown in picture. Split the yarn in its single threads to get smooth and slightly curly hair. Don't cut hair to its final length until cap is sewn to head. Divide hair in two parts, one half to the left, one to the right and sew each fringe with one stitch directly under cap (where there could be ears). Make two braids and fix them with colourful piece offyarn.

Long hair

Cut approx. 80 pieces of yarn of 25 cm, if necessary some more. Take 2 threads together and fix them on forehead and around the whole head as shown in picture above. When cap is sewn to head you should not see the knots any longer. Split the yarn to its single threads to get smooth and slightly curly hair. Don't cut hair to its final length until cap is sewn to head. Divide 8 fringes of the forehead in two parts, sew them at the left and the right side directly under cap (where there could be ears), let remaining hair hang down.
