A doll in technique 'wrong side outward' (3)

So, my doll project is little by little moving forward. Now this girl got her breasts and (how to say it in English politely?) ... butt cheeks?

On the photo it is not visible, but one leg turned out bigger than the other because I decided to make new leg instead the first failed attempt, but could not make exactly the same size of foot insole.
In addition, the new leg is also a bit longer. I do not want to remake the legs again. I think that a filler and a wireframe will solve this problem. For example, my right leg is also a little bigger than left one, I do somehow live with it ... LOL

It was really hard to crochet a white T-shirt. White (as well as black) yarn is not comfortable to work at all, and then (I think so), this white thread is a little thinner than blue and red. But I succeeded.

Now a need to make a head. Actually, I already have one copy of the head. But it does not quite like me.

This is my first crocheted detail, so the hands turned out not so good as I would wished. Perhaps I'll crochet another upper part. And I will have one more spare head for training in embroidering eyes. This step frightens me most of all because I have not skills on embroidering.

A doll in technique 'wrong side outward' (2)

These are the tiny boot I have made for my doll. Seems I already learned crocheting in technique "wrong side outward".  Now the 'wrong' decreases (when firstly you need to pick up BLO the 2nd st. from the hook and then - the first stitch) are not a problem for me. My crocheting became more even, I have succeeded with tiny loops.


But these boots were not easy work. I did not crochet in non-spiral rounds for a long time, so I forgot HOW and WHY I do not like this type of crochet. Although video-tutorial by Milena is gorgeous and very clear for me, but the words "make a slip stitch into the chain" puzzled me at first: which is the chain stitch I need? And why I always have 1 extra stitch at the end of the round :- (((


At first I struggled with the problem, unweaved and tried to count the stitches more closely. But then I solved this problem fundamentally: I took a more thicker yarn and start to make boot, marking those ill-fated chains with a mark pen. So at the end of each round, I always saw into what stitch I have to crochet the slip stitch.


By the way, I liked the crocheted shoes from acrylic yarn. For training I have made another one, and turned out such a souvenir-keychain.

My doll have got such nifty legs. The crocheting was pretty easy. I decided to dress my doll into blue jeans.
