Scarlett

Esta es Scarlett, otra muñeca hecha a partir del patrón de Beth Doherty, Strawbeary (del libro "Amigurumi! Super Happy Crochet Cute").

Es la primera vez que intento hacer este tipo de pelo rizado y me ha gustado el resultado. Los rizos están hechos sobre una cadena base de 40 puntos, y luego 3 puntos medio alto en cada cadena. Las partes lisas (cosidas sobre la cabeza) están hechas sobre 5 ó 10 cadenas, con 1 punto medio alto en cada una. Los organicé sobre la cabeza como mejor pude y voilá! Creo que la próxima vez pondré más rizos porque la parte de atrás quedó con algunos claros.



Y ahora la preciosa Scarlett está envuelta en papel de regalo para una de mis primitas.

This is Scarlett, another doll from the same Beth Doherty pattern, Strawbeary (in the book "Amigurumi! Super Happy Crochet Cute"). I tried this type of curly hair for the first time, and I like the results! The curls are made of 40 st chains, with 3 hdc in each st. The straight parts (sewed on the head) are 5 or 10 st chains, with 1 hdc in each st. I arranged them on the head as best I could and voila! I think I would make more curls next time though, because the back of the head still looks a bit "clear". And now my beautiful Scarlett is wrapped up in gift paper, as a present for one of my little (second) cousins.

"You could make this for me."

I'm sure you've heard it a million times. Everybody wants you to make something for them, which is pretty cute, if you think about it. But you also think, yeah, I could make a million things if only I had the time. I know I do. That's why I don't take orders, but every now and then the special people in your life get to you, and you cave in.

I was asked for "colourful flower brooches" and so I tried these two patterns, from CrochetVille (my favourite) and MyLittleCityGirl. Let's see how they like these!
