AUTHOR: I am Erin from ekayg, and I love
ERIN GREENE designing children's toys! Specifically
 when designing dolls and toys for little
girls, my goal in mind is to create
Erin Greene's love for all things crochet,
bizarrely began in college with her career ending characters outside of the normal
basketball injury, and her desire to remain stereotypical look. I was once told about
productive and continue challenging herself. She a little girl who wanted to dress up as a
is now the crochet artist and owner behind
ekayg, in Buffalo, New York, specializing in
princess, and she felt that in order to look
designing unique toy patterns for babies and the part, she needed to straighten her
children, thanks to the constant inspiration from gorgeous curly hair. Little girls of all
her four young children. Among the crochet
sizes, shapes, and looks should have
patterns, and the occasional craft or recipe, she
also blogs weekly, sharing her faith, in the hopes dolls and toys that can help them
of sharing the love of Jesus with her love visualize and imagine that they can be
handmade goodness! whatever they want to be, no matter
what they might look like. That is why I
created this princess puppet pattern with
different hair styling options!

Sewing on nose and eyes

With the same yarn as your skin color,
embroider the nose on the center of the
face, about the 5th rnd up from the
dress, wrapping the yarn around the
same spot about 5 times, until you have a
nice little bobble.
Then, with black yarn, embroider the
eyes about 1 to 2 rnds above the nose,
with about 3 sts between them.
Hair options:

Hair Option 1: Curly Hair

(Chocolate)

5 chs; 6 sts

Row 16: ch 1 and turn, dec, sc in next 4

Row 17: ch 1 and turn, sc in each st

Do not turn.

Rnd 1: continue to work 48 sc evenly

around the hair until you get back to
where you started. This amounts to 18 sc
down each side, and 6 sc across the
bottom, and the top.

Rnd 2: [sl st in next st, (sc, 2 dc, sc) in

next st, sk next st]16x, sl st to join; 16
curls

Fasten off, leaving long tail for sewing.

Sew onto the back of the head, with the
right side out, and wrong side sewn to
the head, leaving the curls free above
and to the sides of the head.

Curly Bangs (Chocolate)

Ch 3

Row 1: turn and sc in 2nd ch from hook,

and next ch; 2 sts

Row 2: ch 1 and turn, inc in each st; 4 sts

Rows 3-12: ch 1 and turn, sc in each st

across; 4 sts
Row 13: ch 1 and turn, sc2tog 2 times; 2
sts

Do not turn.

Rnd 1: sc 30 evenly around the whole

piece; 30 sts

Rnd 2: sk 1st st of rnd 1, [(sc, 2 dc, sc) in

next st, sk next st, sl st in next st]6x, [sl st
in next 2 sts, ch 6, inc in 2nd ch from
hook, inc in next 4 chs]6x, sl st to join,
fasten off, leaving very long tail for
sewing and assembly.

*Note, for assembly:

It is easiest to sew the crown or bow
onto the bangs, BEFORE sewing all of the
hair to the head. Sew your hair accessory
to the center of the bangs, just above,
and maybe a little behind your curls.
Now, match the bangs up at the top of
the head, trying to match curls to curls as
best you can, with crown or bow
centered, and sew the bangs to the curls
of the hair behind it. And sew around the
top of the head. I pushed the curls up,
and stitched them to the forehead
underneath the curls, leaving them with a
bouncy, free look.
Hair Option 2: Straight hair with
bun, in Mustard

Ch 7

Use rows 1-17 from the curly hair.

Do not turn

Rnd 1: continue to work 48 sc evenly

around the hair until you get back to
where you started. This amounts to 18 sc
down each side, and 6 sc across the
bottom, and the top. Then begin the
bangs. Don’t fasten off. Bangs for the
straight hair are worked continuously.

Side swept bangs are worked in rows

which run perpendicular to the top of the
hair. Each row is in ().
Begin with sl st into next st, (ch 4, turn
and inc in 2nd ch from hook, sc in next 2
chs, sl st into next 2 sts of rnd 1)2x, (ch
5, turn and inc in 2nd ch from hook, sc in
next 3 chs, sl st into next 2 sts of rnd
1)2x, (ch 6, turn and inc in 2nd ch from
hook, sc in next 4 chs, sl st into next st of
rnd 1), [ch 16, turn and inc in 2nd ch
from hook, sc in next ch, (inc, sc in next
ch)6x, sc in last ch, sl st into next st of rnd
1]

Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing

onto the head. You can make this look
differently just with how you choose to
sew it on. I sewed around the head, then
gently sewed down each piece of the
bangs, and wrapped the last, long
strand, around the bottom of the bangs.
Bun in Mustard

Begin with magic ring.

Rnd 1: 6 sc in magic ring; 6 sts

Rnd 2: inc in each st around; 12 sts

Rnd 3: (inc, sc in next st)6x; 18 sts

Rnds 4-7: sc in each st around; 18 sts

Rnd 8: (invsc2tog, sc in next st)6x; 12 sts

Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing.
Sew to center top of the head.

Hair Accessory
Options: Bow OR
Crown

Bow in Shocking Rose/Silver Blue

Begin with a very long tail, for wrapping
around the center of your bow later. The
whole bow will be worked into the very
first ch, referred to as beginning ch.

Ch 4, (3 tr into the beginning ch, ch 3, sl

st into beginning ch), ch 3 and repeat the
first instructions in the () to make the
other side of the bow, (ch 5, sl st into 3rd
ch from hook, ch 2, sl st into beginning
ch)2x

Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing.

Using the beginning tail, wrap around
the center of the bow, repeatedly, until it
looks like the knot of a bow, then knot
and fasten off in the back. Using the end
tail, sew onto the base of the bun OR
above the curls of the curly hair bangs.
Crown (Gold)

*Note: the gold tends to blend in with the

blonde hair. If you’re making blond hair,
but still want a crown, try using Glamour
Silver instead.

Ch 10
Row 1: *(sc, hdc) in 2nd ch from hook,
(dc, ch 3, sl st back into 1st ch, dc into
same ch as first dc) all in next ch, (hdc,
sc) in next ch,* (sc, hdc) in next ch, (tr,
ch 3, sl st back into 1 ch above tr, tr into
same ch as first tr) all in next ch, (hdc, sc)
in next ch, repeat from * to * and fasten
off, leaving a long tail for sewing. Sew to
the top of the head around the bun, or, if
using on the curly hair, sew above the
curls of the bangs first, before sewing the
hair to the head.

I believe strongly in creative play and

story telling, as well as diversity among
our children's toys, to stimulate their
creative growth. These sweet puppets will
make a wonderful collection for growing
minds and hands! I hope you have
enjoyed creating this toy, and that it is
well loved by whomever you give it to!
