Stitching Rounds for Weebee Special Edition – Noo Noo Doll 2017 Pattern
Head
The head is the central feature of this doll, and it’s made with a classic amigurumi style of increases and decreases to shape it properly.
- Round 1: Start with a MR (magic ring), and work 6 sc into the ring (6).
- Round 2: Make 1 inc (2 sc in each stitch) in every stitch around (12).
- Round 3: (1 sc, 1 inc) repeat around (18).
- Round 4: (2 sc, 1 inc) repeat around (24).
- Round 5: (3 sc, 1 inc) repeat around (30).
- Rounds 6-10: sc in each stitch around (30). (These rounds maintain the circular shape of the head, so work evenly and maintain tight stitches.)
- Round 11: (3 sc, 1 dec) repeat around (24).
- Round 12: (2 sc, 1 dec) repeat around (18).
- Round 13: (1 sc, 1 dec) repeat around (12).
- Round 14: dec around (6).
Finish: Fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing. Insert the 12mm safety eyes between rounds 7 and 8, about 6 stitches apart. Stuff the head firmly, ensuring the shape is even and stable.
Body
The body follows a similar process to the head, but with a slightly different shaping.
- Round 1: Start with a MR, and work 6 sc into the ring (6).
- Round 2: inc in each stitch around (12).
- Round 3: (1 sc, 1 inc) repeat around (18).
- Round 4: (2 sc, 1 inc) repeat around (24).
- Rounds 5-8: sc in each stitch around (24). (These rounds maintain the cylindrical shape of the body.)
- Round 9: (2 sc, 1 dec) repeat around (18).
- Round 10: (1 sc, 1 dec) repeat around (12).
- Round 11: dec around (6).
Finish: Fasten off and leave a tail for attaching to the head. Stuff the body firmly with toy stuffing, ensuring the shape is round and stable.
Arms (Make 2)
The arms are relatively simple and tubular.
- Round 1: Start with a MR, and work 6 sc into the ring (6).
- Round 2: inc in each stitch around (12).
- Rounds 3-5: sc in each stitch around (12). (Add stuffing lightly to the arms as you go.)
- Round 6: dec around (6).
Finish: Fasten off and leave a tail for sewing.
Assembly Instructions
Now that you’ve completed all the major pieces, it’s time to bring your Noo Noo Doll together!
- Attaching the Head to the Body: Align the neck area and securely sew the head to the body. Make sure the stitches are tight and the head is firmly attached so it can be posed if desired.
- Attaching the Arms: Sew the arms to the sides of the body, placing them symmetrically for balance.
You can adjust their positioning for different poses, such as having the arms outstretched or at the doll’s sides.
- Facial Features: Use embroidery thread or yarn to add a simple smile, eyebrows, and any other facial features you’d like.
You can make the doll as expressive as you like, adding little details to make it your own.
- Final Touches: Once the arms and head are attached, make sure the doll is properly stuffed. You want to ensure that all areas of the doll are firm, but not overstuffed.
Use the tapestry needle to weave in any remaining yarn ends and clean up the appearance.
