Chibi Eleventh Doctor amigurumi pattern By Vilonal
This pattern is for private use only! Please don’t try to sell it and don’t sell Eleven. I’d also appreciate if you didn’t use this pattern or a part of it as a base for a pattern/doll you’re going to make for selling. Thank you! Character of course belongs to BBC.
(The hair on the back of the head is quite messy and I’d cut it differently if I redid it now, so I don’t recommend that picture as a reference. Look at the photos of Matt Smith as the Doctor when doing the haircut )
Materials: Yarns
peach (or whatever colour you prefer for skin) white black dark grey red light brown dark brown
2 safety eyes a tiny hair pin
Abbreviations:
sc = single crochet (US), double crochet (UK) st = stitch ss = slip stitch sc2tog = single crochet 2 stitches together yoh = yarn over the hook ch = chain
I use magic ring but instead of that you can ch 2 and work the stitches in the first ch. Please keep in mind English is not my native. And feel free to inform me of any mistakes you may notice in the pattern and I’ll try to correct them :) Let’s start!
Head: peach yarn, place the safety eyes between rows 7 and 8 Row 1: 6 sc in a magic ring (6) Row 2: 2 sc in each st around (12) Row 3: [sc in the next st, 2 sc in the next st] 6 times (18) Row 4: [sc in the next 2 st, 2 sc in the next st] 6 times (24) Row 5: sc in each st around (24) Row 6: [sc in the next 3 st, 2 sc in the next st] 6 times (30) Row 7-9: sc in each st around (30) Row 10: [sc in the next 3 st, sc2tog] 6 times (24) Row 11: sc in each st around (24) Row 12: [sc in the next 2 st, sc2tog] 6 times (18) Row 13: [sc in the next st, sc2tog] 6 times (12) Row 14: sc2tog 6 times (6) Sew shut and finish off. Leave long tail for sewing the head onto the body.
Ears:
This is a little hard to explain, but what you’re going to do now is to work the ears right onto the head. Decide a good place for the ear. Hook in the right spot, yoh, pull through, do sc in the same spot, do sc in the next 2 spots too (see the upper picture), ch 1, turn, sc in the 3 st, finish off and weave in the tails. Do the other ear onto the other side of the head.
Body: white yarn Row 1: 5 sc in a magic ring (5) Row 2: 2 sc in each st around (10) Row 3: [sc in the next st, 2 sc in the next st] 5 times (15) Row 4-5: sc in each st around (15) Row 6: [sc in the next 2 st, 2 sc in the next st] 5 times (20) Row 7: sc in each st around (20) switch to dark grey yarn Row 8: [sc in the next 3 st, 2 sc in the next st] 5 times (25) Row 9: sc in each st around (25) Row 10-11: sc2tog, repeat until the hole is small enough to be sewn shut. Finish off and weave in the tail.
Legs (make two): black yarn Row 1: ch 2, work 4 sc into the first ch (4) Row 2: [sc in the next st, 2 sc in the next st] 2 times (6) Row 3: sc in each st around (6) switch to dark grey yarn Row 4: sc in each st around (6) Row 5: [sc in the next 2 st, 2 sc in the next st] 2 times (8) Row 6: sc in each st around (8) Row 7: [2 sc in the next st, sc in the next 3 st] 2 times (10) Finish off and leave a long tail for sewing the leg onto the body. Sew the legs the way you keep the shape of the edge round.
Arms (make 2): peach yarn Row 1: ch 2, work 4 sc into the first ch (4) Row 2: [sc in the next st, 2 sc in the next st] 2 times (6) switch to white yarn Row 3-7: sc in each st around (6) Finish off and leave a long tail for sewing but don’t sew the arms onto the body yet.
Coat: The instructions for the coat may be a little more confusing but I tried to make it more understandable by taking a lot of pictures. Hope that helps :) light brown yarn ch 23, turn Row 1: skip the first ch, sc in the next 22 ch, ch 1, turn Row 2-4: sc in the 22 st, ch 1, turn Row 5: sc in the next 3 st, ch 1, turn Row 6: sc in the next 2 st, ss in the next st, ch 1, turn Row 7: miss that ss, sc in the next 2 st Finish off and weave in the tail.
Next count the 4th st from the part you just made and hook into it (see the picture).
Row 1: yoh, pull through the st, yoh, pull through the loop, sc in the same st, sc in the next 9 st, ch 1, turn Row 2: sc2tog, sc in the next 6 st, sc2tog, ch 1, turn Row 3: sc in the 8 st Finish off and weave in the tails.
Now hook into the st on the other end of the original row 4 (sorry I forgot to take a photo of this part but here’s a drawing to explain)
Row 1: yoh, pull through the st, yoh, pull through the loop, sc in the same st, sc in the next 2 st, ch 1, turn Row 2: sc in the next 2 st, ss in the next st, ch 1, turn Row 3: miss that ss, sc in the next 2 st
Now it should look something like this:
ch 3, join to the part on the other side of the gap and do sc in the 8 st, ch 3, join to the part on the other side of the gap with ss Finish off and weave in the tails.
Now start from the corner and work the stiches in between every row (there are 7 rows so there are 7 “stitches� on the right and left edges of the coat).
Hook in the corner, yoh, pull through the st, yoh, pull through the loop, sc in the same st, sc in the next 6 st
Now you should be at the upper corner. Start doing the upper edge. sc in the next 2 st, sc in the 3 ch, sc in the next 8 st, sc in the 3 ch, sc in the next 2 st You’re again at the corner. Start working the left edge by doing the stitches in between the rows again. sc in the next 7 st Finish off and weave in the tails.
Now, before doing the sleeves, use the coat to check the right places for arms (you have already sewn at least the head onto the body, probably legs too). Sew the arms on the right place.
Sleeves (make two) light brown yarn, leave a long tail, you’re going to use it to sew the sleeve onto the coat ch 11, join in the first ch with ss Row 1: sc in the next 10 (11) Row 2-3: sc in each st around (11) ss, finish off and weave in the tail Sew the sleeves onto the edges of the armhole.
Hat: red yarn Row 1: 8 sc in a magic ring (8) Row 2: 2 sc in each st around (16) Row 3: sc in the back loop of each st around (16) Row 4-5: sc in each st around (16) Row 6: [sc in the next 3 st, 2 sc in the next st] 4 times (20) Row 7: sc in each st around (20)
ss, finish off and leave a long tail I wanted to make the hat removable so I attached it with a little hair pin. I used the tail to tie the hat to the pin.
Bowtie: red yarn ch 11, turn Row 1: miss the first ch, sc in the next 10 ch, ch Row 2: sc in the 10 st finish off and leave a long tail Turn the ends in the middle of the back side. Wind the tails around a few times. Use the tails to sew the bowtie onto the body.
Hair: dark brown yarn This is how I tend to do the hair for my amigurumis. You can try my way or some other, some pretty good tutorials can be found by googling. Use whatever method suits you best.
These pictures are just to show the way I sew a row of hair. I usually don’t start in the middle but by doing the hairline on the forehead first and then moving row by row to the back of the head. Cut a long length of yarn. Thread it into a needle.
Make sure both of the ends are inside the loop and then tighten. Time to make the next one in the next stitch.
Keep the loop (the one around the finger in the picture) quite long, at least longer than you think the character’s hair is. They don’t all have to be exactly the same length as you are going to cut them anyway. Also notice that, for example, Eleven’s got longer front hair. All in all, it’s better to make the hair too long than too short, you can always cut it afterwards.
Tighten again.
Do the same to the next stitches too. The row looks then something like this:
Do the other rows too so that the head is full of hair. When that is done, it’s time for a haircut. I recommend watching reference pictures while doing this since the hair is ultimately what makes your doll look like Eleven. Finally you may need to sew some stitches to keep the hair in the right place. I also often wet the hair a little to make it shape the way I want, but please, before trying that, be sure the materials you’ve used don’t suffer when getting wet.
Finally Do the braces by sewing little stitches with red yarn. Put the coat and hat on Eleven and you’re finished! I hope you found my pattern somewhat useful and understandable. If you get any questions feel free to message me. I’d also be really happy to see your Eleven. You can find me on Tumblr and on Deviantart too (on both of which I use the name Vilonal).
