Why not make a voodoo doll of yourself and give it a back rub!

This pattern describes in US terms how to crochet a set of adorable Voodoo dolls, as shown in pictures. Finished size will be approx. 10” (25 cm) tall, crocheted using acrylic yarn (8 ply / DK) and hook size E (3.5 mm).
If you wish to make larger or smaller versions of these dolls, you can just use thicker or thinner yarn with a matching size crochet hook. If so, you will need different amounts of yarn and different size safety eyes than stated in the materials list.
This pattern is also suitable for wool or cotton yarn. Stylecraft Special DK was used to create the dolls in the pictures.

The dolls are mostly worked in continuous rounds, only the pants are worked in rows.

Gauge: is not important for this pattern, just crochet tight enough so the stuffing will not show through the stitches.
