Introduction

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of creating the Amigurumi doll Emília, inspired by the character from 'O Sítio do Picapau Amarelo'. This is the first of five lessons focusing on crafting her arms and legs. You will learn about the materials needed and step-by-step instructions to get started on this delightful project.

Step 1: Gather Your Materials

Before you start crocheting the Amigurumi doll, ensure you have all the necessary materials:

• Yarn:
  • Red (Code: 3583)
  • Green (Code: 5767)
  • Skin tone (Code: 7563)
  • Yellow (Code: 1289)
• Eyes: Lock eyes size 13
• Neck support: Thick hot glue stick or a sanitized toothbrush handle
• Fabric glue: Washable
• Stuffing: Fiberfill
• Tools:
  • Scissors
  • Crochet hook (Size 3)
  • Tapestry needle for stitching
  • Fine needle for embroidery
• Optional: Accessories for decoration

Step 2: Start Crocheting the Legs

1. Create a Slip Knot: Begin your project with a slip knot on your crochet hook.
2. Chain Stitch: Make a chain of the desired length for the leg (typically around 6-10 stitches).
3. Single Crochet:
   • In the second chain from the hook, perform a single crochet.
   • Continue single crocheting across the chain until you reach the end.
4. Form the Leg:
   • Work in rounds, increasing and decreasing as needed to shape the leg.
   • Repeat until the leg reaches your desired height (about 10-15 rounds).

Step 3: Create the Arms

1. Use the Same Procedure: Follow the same steps used for the legs to crochet the arms, but make them shorter.
2. Shape the Arm:
   • You can create a slight curve by changing the number of stitches in certain rounds.
   • Ensure to leave a tail for sewing the arms onto the body later.

Step 4: Assemble the Arms and Legs

1. Stuff the Limbs: Gently fill the arms and legs with fiberfill to give them shape.
2. Close the Ends: Use a tapestry needle to sew the open ends of the limbs securely.
3. Attach to Body: Once the body is completed in future lessons, sew the arms and legs in place.
