Chibi doll Satsuki is a petite version of Amilishly Doll Satsuki and inspired on the Japanese Cult Party Kei Style. Satsuki is a Japanese name meaning may, so it was fitting she would receive this name. Chibi Satsuki measures about 12 cm’s when I crochet her with a 2.0mm hook. When you go up a hook size, she might be bigger, but proportions remain intact. This means gauge isn’t important.

Chibi doll Satsuki is a crocheted doll with attached clothing and a removable cardigan. This pattern includes the doll with her top, shorts and cardigan. She is made seamless, so no seaming parts afterwards.

Yarn:

  • Yarn and Colors Must-Have in different colors for the doll and clothes: Colors are Pearl, Cream, Old Pink, Antique Pink, Lilac
  • Scheepjes Maxi Sweet Treat for the lace: Color is Snow Lilac Mist.

Hook:
This doll is crocheted with a 2.0mm hook and the suggested yarn above. A 1.5mm hook is used for the lace yarn. It’s important to crochet tight enough, since you don’t want the fibrefill to show. Also don’t crochet to tightly it’ll be a strain on your wrists. If you crochet loosely, please go down a size. If you crochet tightly go up a size. The proportions of this girl stay intact.

Gauge
In single crochet: 17 sc x 17 rows measures 5x5 cm, using Must Have and a 2.0mm hook.
Gauge, however is not important for this pattern. Different hooks and different yarn give you a different size for your doll, but the proportions stay intact.

Notions
Needle for weaving ends, scissors, fibrefill, stitch marker.
