Chibi doll Tsukiko is petite version of Amilishly Doll Tsukiko and inspired on the Japanese Gothic Lolita Style. Tsukiko is a Japanese name meaning Moon Child, so it was fitting she would recieve this name. Chibi Tsukiko measures about 12 cm’s when I crochet her with a 2.0mm hook. When you go up a hooksize, she might be bigger, but proportions remain intact. This means gauge isn’t important.

This pattern is currently available in DUTCH. The pattern can be found in the Dutch Magazine Aan de Haak - Amigurumispecial 2.

Chibi doll Tsukiko is a crocheted doll with attached clothing and a removable hairtie. This pattern includes the doll with her dress, and hairtie. She is made seamless, so no seaming parts afterwards.

Yarn:

  • Yarn and Colors Must-Have in different colors for the doll and clothes: Colors are Cream, Anthracite, Brunette, Red Wine.
  • Scheepjes Maxi Sweet Treat for the lace and the hairtie: Color is Hot Red.

Hook:
This doll is crocheted with a 2.0mm hook and the suggested yarn above. It’s important to crochet tight enough, since you don’t want the fibrefill to show. Also don’t crochet to tightly it’ll be a strain on your wrists. If you crochet loosely, please go down a size. If you crochet tightly go up a size. The proportions of this girl stay intact.

Gauge
In single crochet: 17 sc x 17 rows measures 5x5 cm, using Must Have and a 2.0mm hook.
Gauge, however is not important for this pattern. Different hooks and different yarn give you a different size for your doll, but the proportions stay intact.

Notions
Needle for weaving ends, scissors, fibrefill, stitchmarker. Also needed: glue and pins for her hair.
