GAGE: Gage is not important as long as the same size thread and hook are used for all
the pattern pieces. However, since tension can vary in different circumstances, it is
suggested that when making two pieces that must be the same, such as arms and legs, that
you complete both in one sitting.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS:
ADJUSTABLE RING: The adjustable ring creates a smaller center opening. Grasp the
thread between your thumb and forefinger, leaving a tail at the beginning. Wrap the
thread over and around the index finger clockwise, crossing the thread at the top of the
finger. Press your middle finger on the loose end of the thread to hold it as you insert the
hook underneath the thread that you just crossed, then catch the back thread with the
hook, and pull a loop up from underneath the front thread. Slip the loop off the finger,
grasping the working end in the left hand as if to begin crocheting. Chain 1, work
number of stitches required into the ring. Pull up a long loop, then, grasping the stitches
just made with the right hand and tail with left, pull to tighten ring. Insert hook into long
loop and tighten back against hook. Making sure tail is to the back, skip first chains
worked and continue working pattern, skipping the ch-1.
FRENCH KNOT: Bring the needle up through the fabric. Place the needle flat right up
against the thread where it came out of the fabric. Holding the needle in place with your
left thumb, wrap the thread around the needle twice. Holding the wrapped thread in place
with your left thumb, pull the needle until the knot is against the fabric. Insert the needle a tiny bit to the left of where it came out, and pull through to the back, pulling the knot
firmly against the fabric.
WEAVING/HIDING LOOSE THREAD ENDS: When making the doll, you can hide
the loose ends by pulling them to the inside of the piece with a tapestry needle. Pass the
needle through the piece 2 or 3 times to anchor the thread end (always go in and come out
between stitches, being careful not to catch any fabric), then pull the thread taut, and clip
close to the surface so that it disappears inside.
For other pattern pieces, it’s best to weave all loose ends as you finish each piece. If you
can’t hide the beginning tail by working over it for a few stitches, leave a tail that is long
enough to enable you to thread it onto a needle to weave it. When you fasten off, always
leave a tail that is long enough to thread onto a needle and weave.
TO WEAVE LOOSE ENDS: Thread the tail onto a needle. Working on the WS of the
piece and beginning directly beneath the place where you fastened off, insert the needle
underneath and through the upper loops of fabric for a length of 4 or 5 stitches, and then
turn and repeat through 2 or 3 of the same stitches in the opposite direction.

MAKING THE EMMA AND JACKSON DOLLS IN OTHER SIZES
The patterns for the Jackson and Emma dolls call for size 10 thread, a size 7 (1.65mm)
hook, and 3 and 4mm eyes, respectively. The dolls are 7 to 7.5 inch (17.5 – 19cm) inches
tall.
To make dolls approximately 3″ (7.5cm): Use size 80 tatting thread, a .5mm hook, and
1mm eyes. Use 2mm pearls or beads as buttons.
To make dolls approximately 5″ (12.5cm): Use size 30 crochet thread, size 12 perle
cotton, or punch thread with a size 10 (1.3mm) hook, and 3mm eyes. Use ¼” (6mm)
buttons.
To make dolls approximately 13.5″ (33.5cm): Use sport weight yarn or DK yarn with
a C (2.5 – 2.7mm, UK 12) hook, and 9mm plastic eyes. Use 3/8″ (9mm) buttons.
To make dolls approximately 17″ (42.5cm): Use worsted weight yarn with a G (4-
4.5mm), and 12mm plastic eyes. Use 12″ buttons.

COMPARISON BETWEEN PERLE COTTON AND CROCHET COTTON:
Perle Size Crochet Size
3 5
5 10
8 20
12 30
16 40 – 50
Check for Comparison to Perle Cotton: Wrap the thread you want to use around a
ruler, with each thread wrap touching the last wrap. The number of wraps that fit
inside ¼ inch (.6 cm) is the equivalent size to perle cotton. For instance, if your
thread wraps around 12 times, then it is equivalent to size 12 perle cotton.
Check for Comparison to Crochet Cotton: Wrap the thread you want to use
around a ruler, with each thread wrap touching the last wrap. The number of wraps
that fit inside ½ inch (1.3 cm) is the equivalent size to crochet cotton. For instance, if
your thread wraps around 30 times, then it is equivalent to size 30 crochet cotton.

HEAD BACK:
Repeat rows 1 through 9 of Front, working all stitches in BL. At end of row 9 FO,
leaving long end for sewing.
JOIN HEAD FRONT TO BACK:
Place front and back of head WS together, with 4 sc between the 2 final sl stitches of
each piece. The neck will be created in this space. Stitch the two pieces together, using
the inner lps of rnd 9 of each piece. Be sure to leave the 4 sc on each side open for the
neck. Stuff head just until it looks like a little round throw pillow.
NECK AND BODY:
1. With right side of facing you, join skin color with sc in 1st free sc at neck edge on rnd
9 of front, sc in next 3 sc, sc in end of rnd 9 before seam on head front; sc in end of rnd 9
after seam on head back; sc in next 4 sc on back of head; sc in end of rnd 9 before seam
on head back; sc in end of rnd 9 after seam on head front; do not join, place a piece of
contrasting thread to use as a round marker. Move it each time you finish a round. If you
don’t mark the rounds, you’ll have a lot of trouble keeping the stitch count correct. (12
sc)

4 – 23. Sc in ea sc around. (36 sc)
24. (Sc in next 16 sc, sc2tog) twice; FO with sl st in next sc, leaving long end for closing
bottom of body. (34 sc)
• Stuff neck, shoulders and top half of torso. Sew bottom of body closed, leaving an
opening to finish stuffing; stuff remainder of body. The doll should be about 3.75″
(9.5 cm) around the middle. Finish closing; hide end inside body.
HAIR:
Note: Wash hands frequently while working, since you’ll be handling the doll’s face
while you make the hair.
• The hair is made by creating a series of chain-10 loops worked in a spiral around the
back of the head, beginning in the center, and worked in the remaining free loops. You
may have more or fewer stitches in each group than shown below, and you may make the
hair less dense by skipping additional stitches and/or rows. The following instructions
are meant to be a guide; the number of loops that you make doesn’t have to match exactly
with what I have written. You’ll basically go around the back of the head following the
head rounds, working in every other stitch once around the head, then skip a round and
work every other stitch around, etc. When you’ve come to the bottom of the “hairline”,
you’ll begin working back and forth around the head in rows.
EMMA’S HAIR:
With top of head facing you, join red with sl st in 1st free lp at ctr; ch 10, sc in
same st, (ch 10, sk next st, sc in next st, ch 10, sc in same st) 5 times. Ch 10, sc in the
next st ONE RND OVER; ch 10, sc in same st; repeat bet ( ) above 10 times; ch 10, sc in
the next st ONE ROW OVER, sc in same st ; repeat bet ( ) above 16 times; sc in the next
st ONE ROW OVER, ch 10, sc in same st; repeat bet ( ) above 15 times; this should bring
you to the top of the right side of the doll’s neck; if not, continue to repeat bet ( ) until
you get there. Continue around the head in the same row of free lps; ch 10, sc in next st,
ch 10, sc in same st; repeat bet ( ) above 20 times, or until you reach the opposite neck
edge; ch 10, turn, sk seam and working in FL of rnd 9 of front of head, sc in 3rd st up
from neck; ch 10, sc in same st; repeat bet ( ) above, around the face to the 3rd st from the
neck on the opposite side of the head; ch 10, turn, . FO red, leaving an end long enough
to thread onto needle and run out back of head to hide; trim close to head. Use the blunt
end of your crochet hook to fluff out the “curls.”
JACKSON’S HAIR:
With top of head facing you, join red with sl st in 1st free loop of round 1 at back
of head; ch 8, sc in same lp, (ch 8, sk next free lp, sc in next free lp, ch 8, sc in same lp) 6
times. Ch 8, sc in the next free lp ONE ROW OVER; ch 8, sc in same lp; (ch 8, sk next

neck, ch 8, sc in same free lp; repeat bet ( ) 19 times; ch 8, turn; sk seam, sc in 3rd st up
from neck; ch 8, sc in same lp; repeat bet ( ) 18 times; you should be in the 3rd st from the
neck; if not, continue; ch 8, turn; sk seam, sc in 4th free lp up from neck (you will work
this final row around rnd 9 of face); ch 8, sc in same pl; repeat bet ( ) 8 times to same
location on opposite side of head; FO. Thread end onto needle and run out back of head
to hide; trim close to head. Use your crochet hook to pull out the loops into curls.
FACIAL FEATURES
NOSE (Both Dolls):
With 3 strands red embroidery floss, use straight stitches to embroider a triangle in the
center of the face, a little less than ½” long, covering the center row. Hide beginning and
end of thread within hair on back of head. Alternately, you can cut a small triangle from
felt and glue or sew it onto the face.
EYES (Both Dolls):
Using strong black thread, sew an eye to the face on either side of the nose, pulling to
indent the eye slightly into the face. Have the inner edge of the eye about 1 rnd away
from the nose, and slightly lower than the top point of the nose.
EYEBROWS (Both Dolls):
With 2 strands of black embroidery floss, make eyebrows with a straight stitch about 2 or
3 rows from the eyes, beginning at about 1:00 above the left eye, and beginning about
11:00 above the right eye. Make the brows about the length of 3 sc. (See picture.)
EYELASHES (Emma):
With 2 strands of black embroidery floss, make 2 or 3 straight stitches radiating out from
the eyes for eyelashes. (See picture.)
MOUTH (Both Dolls):
• With 3 strands of black embroidery floss, embroider the mouth using straight stitches
as shown in the picture, following the curve of the face, 2 rows below the nose or where
it looks pleasing to you. Make the slanted dimple lines about 2 sc long at the ends of
each mouth line. Leave a gap about 3 sc wide between the 2 mouth lines.
• Using 3 strands of red embroidery thread, make a small horizontal straight stitch
between the 2 mouth lines.
SHADE CHEEKS (Both Dolls):
Use a pink pencil or some blusher on the doll’s cheeks. Apply color more lightly to
Jackson’s cheeks.
I prefer to use makeup blush applied with a cotton swab for crocheted dolls and animals,
because the pencil is harder to blend into the crocheted fabric.
RIGHT ARM:
1. Ch 5 with skin color, sc in 2nd ch from hook and in next 3 sc; moving around to other
side of beginning ch, sc in next 4 ch; do not join. (8 sc)
2. (2 sc in next sc, sc in next sc) 4 times. (12 sc)
3. (2 sc in next sc, sc in next 5 sc) twice. (14 sc)
4. Sc in ea sc around. (14 sc)
5. Sc, move rnd marker to begin rnd here; (2 sc in next sc, sc in next 6 sc) twice. (16 sc)
6. Sc in ea sc around. (16 sc)

10. Sc in next 13 sc, sc2tog. (14 sc)
11. Sc in ea sc around. (14 sc)
• Stuff hand, and continue stuffing arm every few rnds as you work. Stuff medium-firm
through rnd 30, but stuff rnds 31 – 35 lightly or not at all. If the top part of the arm is
stuffed too firmly, the arms will tend to stick out to the sides too much.
12 – 34. Sc in ea sc around. (14 sc)
35. (Sc2tog, sc in next 5 sc) twice; FO with sl st in next sc, leaving long end for closing
end of arm. (12 sc)
THUMB:
1. Beginning with top end of arm facing you, join skin color with sc in 1st free loop of
thumb opening, sc in next free loop, sc in side of next sc (row end bet top and bottom of
thumb opening), sc in next 2 free sc from row 7, sc in side of next sc; do not join. (6 sc)
2 – 3. Sc in ea sc around. (6 sc) FO at end of rnd 3, leaving enough thread to close the
end of the thumb.
• Using the long end, make a row of gathering stitches, going in and out of the FL’s of
round 3; pull firmly to close end of thumb. Hide yarn end inside hand; passing it
back and forth a couple of times to secure. (Make sure you insert the needle and
bring it out between stitches.) Pull thread taut and clip close to arm. Thread should
disappear into arm.
• Flatten arm and sew open end closed using a ladder stitch or oversew stitch. If you
have enough left over, use same thread to sew the arm to the shoulder as follows:
Place flattened end horizontally against side of top edge of shoulder with thumb
facing front; sew in place with an oversew stitch. Secure and hide end of thread by
running into and out of body a couple of times.
LEFT ARM:
1. With skin color ch 5, sc in 2nd ch from hook and in next 3 sc; moving around to other
side of beginning ch, sc in next 4 ch; do not join. (8 sc)
2. (2 sc in next sc, sc in next sc) 4 times. (12 sc)
3. (2 sc in next sc, sc in next 5 sc) twice. (14 sc)
4. Sc in ea sc around. (14 sc)
5. (2 sc in next sc, sc in next 6 sc) twice. (16 sc)
6. Sc in ea sc around. (16 sc)
7. Sc in next 3 sc, ch 2, sk next 2 sc, sc in next 11 sc. (14 sc, 2 ch)
8. Sc in next 2 sc, move rnd marker to begin rnd here (this simply changes the starting
place for the round, and does not change the total stitch count for the round); sc in next
sc, sc in BL of next 2 ch, sc in next 13 sc. (16 sc)
9. Sc in next 14 sc, sc2tog. (15 sc)
10. Sc in next 13 sc, sc2tog. (14 sc)
11. Sc in ea sc around. (14 sc)
• Stuff same as right arm.
12 – 34. Sc in ea sc around. (14 sc)
35. (Sc2tog, sc in next 5 sc) twice; FO with sl st in next sc, leaving long end for sewing.
(12 sc)

opening, sc in next free lp, sc in next row end (bet top and bottom of thumb opening), sc
in next 2 free sc from row 7, sc next row end; do not join. (6 sc)
2 – 3. Sc in ea sc around. (6 sc) At end of row 3, FO, leaving long end for closing.
• Finish thumb same as for 1st
arm.
• Finish and attach arm same as for 1st
arm.

or 3 stitches to secure.
12. With RS of shoe facing you, join white with sc in last sc before the sl st on rnd 11
(This should be at center back of heel. This will be the stocking seam, so make sure it’s
at the center back of the shoe!); sc in ea remaining sc around; join with sl st in 1st sc. (18
sc)
13. Ch 1, do not turn (this applies to all stocking rows); sc in same sc as joining and in ea
sc around; join with sl st in 1st
sc, changing to red (To change colors, at end of round
insert hook into 1st sc as if to join with sl st; instead of bringing through a loop of
white, bring through a loop of red. Reverse when changing to white.). Do not fasten
off white; let it trail as you work the next 2 rounds. (18 sc)

sc) Continue stuffing leg.
28. Join skin color with sc in BL of same stitch as joining on row 27. Here you will
resume working in continuous rounds. Sc in BL of next 17 sc; do not join. (18 sc)
29. Resume working in both lps; sc in next 18 sc. (18 sc)
30 – 42. Sc in ea sc around. (18 sc)
43. Sc in next 5 sc, sc2tog, sc in next 7 sc, sc2tog, do not work last 2 sc; fasten off,
leaving long end for sewing. (18 sc)
• Stuff rows 28 – 37. Stuff rnds 38 – 43 very lightly or not at all. With toe of foot
facing you, flatten top of leg side to side. This is so that the doll will be able to sit.
Thread long end on needle and sew top opening. Do not trim long end of thread yet;
this will be used to sew leg to body.
• After both legs are completed, sew legs to bottom seam of body.
Note: Weave all loose thread ends as you finish each section. (See special
instructions.)

• Put the bloomers on the doll. Pull the ribbons at knees to gather snugly around legs.
Tie ribbons into a bow, and trim ends to desired length.
• Waist will be loose around the doll. Thread a needle with a length of the same thread
that the bloomers of made from. Begin at the center back of the waist and leave a 3″
tail at the beginning. Weave in and out around the base of row 1 of waist. Cut the
thread, leaving a 3″ tail at the end. Pull the 2 tails of thread to tighten the bloomers
around the doll’s waist; tie into a knot. Thread the ends onto a needle and push
through to front of body. Cut thread so that it disappears inside the body.
