This Osgood doll is made using a similar basic body as the Bill doll (found here) with a different face and clothes (I have also tried to improve the body and added hands)
Difficulty:
Medium - Difficult
You will need:
- A 2.5mm crochet hook
- A 2mm crochet hook
- A 0.8mm crochet hook (if you don't have one of these you can use a 0.6mm and crochet loosely or a 1mm and crochet tightly)
- dk yarn in peach (or a suitable skin colour) and darkish brown (for the hair) (Note: the brown yarn MUST be a yarn that isnt going to felt (100% acrylic is best))
- 4ply yarn in dark blue, black, purple, beige, cream, red, yellow, dark grey, and light green (you will only need a small amount of the last eight of these)
- Embroidery thread in white, medium brown, black, medium pink, darker pink, very light pink, light blue, dark blue, silver, and dark brown (although you can use sewing cotton for the dark brown and very light pink instead)
- Toy stuffing
- A darning needle (or similar)
- A regular sewing needle (preferably thin but with a reasonable large eye)
- A pet brush
- A metal gauze or a sturdy knitting neddle
- A cutting mat or a similar surface that can withstand scratching
- Cling film
- PVA glue
- Scissors
- A black pipecleaner
- A small white and light brown button (If you want to be able to undress the doll)
- Two more small matching white buttons
Note:
- I have decided to re-jig how I write my patterns to (hopefully) make them easier to read. I am assuming that most people reading this pattern will be reasonably experienced with pattern reading, but hopefully this will make sense even if you are not. If you are confused by any parts of this pattern please leave a comment below and I will try to clarify things for you :) The main change I have made is that instead of writing 'sc in the next ... sts' in many cases I have just written 'sc... Eg. 'sc12' means 'sc in the next 12 sts'
- I have also started using brackets more to simplify things further. Eg. '(sc, 2sc in the next st) six times' means you should do everything in the brackets 6 times
- In addition to this 'fasten on, sc12' means ' fasten on, then sc in the same st and the next 11sts'
- 'fasten off neatly' refers to a special way of fastening off which is neater and makes it easier to see where you should be crocheting on the next round (also known as invisible fastening off). This involves pulling up your yarn through your stitch, threading the yarn underneath the second stitch from where you pulled your yarn up, then then threading your yarn back through the top of this stitch and down through the back of the work. There is a very helpful site that explains it clearly found here. Just make sure when you do this that you thread your needle through the SECOND stitch after the last stitch you made, otherwise you will end up with an extra stitch which may mean that all of the following rounds are out of line with each other.
For the body:
For every part of the body, unless specifies, use a 2.5mm hook and peach dk yarn
For the arms (make 2):
Make a magic loop with 6sc
Round 1: sc in the first st, 2sc in the next st, rep to end (9sc)
Round 2 : in each st
Round 3: sc in the first st, sc2tog, rep to end (6sc)
Rounds 4 - 16: (13 rounds) sc in each st
Fasten off neatly
Don't stuff yet
press the hand flat.
For the thumb:
insert your hook through the post of one of the stitches in between rounds 2 and 3 (as shown below)(NOTE: the magic loop you made isn't counted when numbering the rows in the pattern above, so looking at your hand from the end your hook should be inserted between the 3rd and 4th circle). Pull your yarn through, ch1, then make 2sc into where you first inserted your hook. Ch1, then sc2tog through the 2 sts you just made.
Fasten off
For the fingers:
inset your hook through the post of the stitch between the magic loop and round 1 directly above where you made the thumb (as shown below)
pull the yarn though, ch1, then sc into where you inserted your hook. ch1, sc in this st you just made, ch1, sc in this next st you made.
Fasten off
Insert your hook into the spoke between the magic loop and the first row on the other edge of the hand (as shown below)
Pull yarn through, ch1, sc in where you inserted your hook, ch1, sc in this st you just made. Fasten off
You now need to make 2 more fingers in the same way as you made the first one, in between the two fingers you have already made. It doesn't particularly matter where you insert your hook for each st, as long as they end up both being in between the two existing stitches. This will mean you end up with a hand looking similar to the one below.

After you have made the arms mark with either a scrap of yarn or a stitch marker the stitch on each arm directly above the thumb.
For the body:
Make a magic loop with 6sc
Round 1: 2sc in each st (12sc)

Rounds 15 - 16: (2 rounds) sc in each st
Fasten off neatly
For the shoulders:
Attach yarn to the body to the stitch before the 'new' stitch you created when yoiu fastened off neatly (this stitch is the one that tightens when you pull the loose end).
Round 17: sc in this st, sc in the next st, sc into one of the arms in the second stitch before the stitch marker. (Image 1) sc in the next 4sts around the edge of this arm, sc in the body in the 3rd st after the last st you crocheted in the body (Image 2),
crocheting around the body: sc4, sc2tog, sc4,
sc in the other arm in the 2nd st before the stitch marker, sc in the next 4sts around this arm, sc in the body in the 2nd st from where you last crocheted (as you did on the other side), sc in the next 6sts around the body. These last 29sts from a new round
Rounds 18 - 20: (3 rounds) sc in each st
stuff the body, and lightly stuff the arms, using a blunt pencil to help you. Make sure you don't over-stuff the arms.
Round 21: sc, sc2tog, sc3tog, sc2tog, sc8, sc2tog, sc3tog, sc2tog, sc6 (21sc)
Round 22: sc, sc5tog, sc6, sc5tog, sc4 (13sc)
Round 23: sc, sc2tog, sc5, sc2tog, sc3 (11sc)
Rounds 24 - 25: (2 rounds) sc in each st
Round 26: slip 3, ch1, sc5.
Fasten off
Stuff the body until you are happy with it, adding stuffing through both the neck hole and the gaps under the armpits. When you are satisfied, sew up these gaps under the armpits.
For the bellybutton:
Make a belly button by making repeated stitches through the centre of the body and pulling it tight. To ensure that you don't get a matching indentation on the other side, try to make your needle emerge in the gap between the stitches and insert it back into the same gap. It also helps to make your needle emerge between different stitches every time you push it through, whereas on the front of the body you should bring your needle up in the same place in the gap between two stitches and then insert it in the gap on the neighbouring stitch.
For the breasts (make 2):
Make a magicl loop with 2sc
Round 1: 2sc in each st (12sc)
Round 2: sc in each st
Stuff these and sew them to the body
Don't yet attach the head to the body
For the nose:
make a magic loop with 2sc. ch1, turn
Row 1: 2sc in this st, ch1, turn
Row 2: 2sc in each of these 2 sts
Fatsen off
Sew this nose to the face, shaping it as you do so to try to make it look as much like Osgood's nose as possible (use the picture below as a reference)
For the ears (make 2):
with a 2mm hook make a magic loop with 3sc, ch1, turn
Row 1: 2sc in the first st, slip 1, 2sc in the last st
Fasten off
Sew these to the sides of the head.
For the glasses:
Curl centre of the pipe-cleaner into the right shape for the front of the glasses, so that they fit nicely over the nose and around the eyes. (They will probably look a bit rediculous at this point as the frames will be very thick but we are going to make them thinner)
Bend the edges back so that they fit over the ears, but don't trim the ends just yet.
Thread a darning needle with black 4ply yarn and attach it to the frame of the glasses. The easiest way to do this is to just tie the end to the frame of the glasses, leaving a small tail (just make sure that the knot is small so won't make a bump in the glasses when they're finished)
Wind the yarn around the frame of the glasses to cover the pipecleaner. Try to make the yarn as close together as possible to cover up most of the pipecleaner tufts (It probably wont be possible to cover them all but try to do this as best as you can). When you start doing this try to cover up the tail of yarn you left whilst tying it on.
Keep going until you have covered all of the front of the frame. If you run out of yarn on your needle, just secure it by making a few small stitches through a few strands of the yarn you have already looped around the glasses, then fasten off. Secure the new yarn in the same way.
After you have done this you need to cover the arms of the glasses. Attach yarn to one of the corners of the frame (the bit attached to the arm) and cover most of the arm of the glasses in the same way as you did for the frames. Continue in this way up to the bend you made for the ears.
Bend and trim the end of the pipecleaner so that you have a small loop that is the right length to fit behind the ears comfortably.
Wind the yarn around this section, making sure that the pointed end of the pipecleaner is covered by the yarn. When you get to the end of the arm, use your needle to wind the yarn around and through the loop (hopefully this will be clarified by the diagram below)
Repeat this for the other arm.
For the eyes:
Before you make the eyes you need to make the eye sockets by making repated stitches through the head and pulling tight, as you did for the bellybutton.
Round 8: Sc2tog, sc7, sc2tog, sc7 (16sc)

Fasten off
Stuff and sew these to the base of the body
Make a belly button by making repeated stitches through the centre of the body and pulling it tight. To ensure that you don't get a matching indentation on the other side, try to make your needle emerge in the gap between the stitches and insert it back into the same gap. It also helps to make your needle emerge between different stitches every time you push it through, whereas on the front of the body you should bring your needle up in the same place in the gap between two stitches and then insert it in the gap on the neighbouring stitch.

For the glasses:
 |
| You may want to use this image as a reference |
Bend the edges back so that they fit over the ears, but don't trim the ends just yet.
Thread a darning needle with black 4ply yarn and attach it to the frame of the glasses. The easiest way to do this is to just tie the end to the frame of the glasses, leaving a small tail (just make sure that the knot is small so won't make a bump in the glasses when they're finished)
Wind the yarn around the frame of the glasses to cover the pipecleaner. Try to make the yarn as close together as possible to cover up most of the pipecleaner tufts (It probably wont be possible to cover them all but try to do this as best as you can). When you start doing this try to cover up the tail of yarn you left whilst tying it on.
Keep going until you have covered all of the front of the frame. If you run out of yarn on your needle, just secure it by making a few small stitches through a few strands of the yarn you have already looped around the glasses, then fasten off. Secure the new yarn in the same way.
After you have done this you need to cover the arms of the glasses. Attach yarn to one of the corners of the frame (the bit attached to the arm) and cover most of the arm of the glasses in the same way as you did for the frames. Continue in this way up to the bend you made for the ears.
Bend and trim the end of the pipecleaner so that you have a small loop that is the right length to fit behind the ears comfortably.
Wind the yarn around this section, making sure that the pointed end of the pipecleaner is covered by the yarn. When you get to the end of the arm, use your needle to wind the yarn around and through the loop (hopefully this will be clarified by the diagram below)
 |
| In the diagram above the grey represents the pipe-cleaner and the black represents the yarn (although you should try to make this more bunched up) |
Repeat this for the other arm.
For the eyes:
 |
| The eye above can be used as a reference |
Before you make the eyes you need to make the eye sockets by making repated stitches through the head and pulling tight, as you did for the bellybutton.
 |
| You may want to keep the glasses on the face when you start doing this to make sure that the eyes are in the right place to line up with the glasses. |
Once you are happy with the eye sockets you need to embroider the eyes on. Use white embroidery thread or 3ply yarn to embroider the whites of the eyes
Next embroider the iris using medium brown and outline this with dark brown, using two strands of embroidery thread for the iris and one strand for the outline.
Next embroider the pupil in the centre of the iris using 2 strands of black embroidery thread.
Add highlights to each pupil using a single strand of white embroidery thread.
For the mouth:
 |
| Use the image above as a reference when making the mouth |
Once you've done this I find it useful to just pull the needle through to the back of the head and leave the thread out of the way but still attached (since I often find I need to add and change things when adding other colours.)
After you've done the base you can start adding more detail. How you do this is up to you, but this is what I did:
First I used two strands of a darker salmon-y pink to outline the lips and embroider through the centre of them (to make them look more like two individual lips). (Images 1/2)
I then used a pale pink to add highlights to the lips (Image 3), before finally using the medium pink I used for the background to extend the lips slightly and pull them in to make them fuller.

For the hair:
Note: try to attach the hair before you attach the head to the body as this makes it a LOT easier
Cut out a rectangle of cardboard approximately 22 cm long and wind you dark brown yarn around it.
Cut all of the strands at one end so that you have half as many 44cm long strands.
Use these strands to make yarn wefts for your dolls hair in the same way as is done in this video
(I used a knitting needle instead of a gauze to hold the yarn in place as I brushed it)
After you have a bunch of these wefts you need to start attaching them to the head. You can glue the strands to the head if you want, but I prefer to sew them on.
It is important to make sure that all of the strands have dried properly before you do this, otherwise they may fall apart whilst you are attaching them to the head.
Take a needle and dark brown sewing cotton and use backstitch to sew over where the strip of glue is, attaching the wefts to the head. Sew them on so that they look like they're facing the wrong way, then fold the hair back so that it covers the place where the glue is. Start from the front and sides of the head and slowly work backwards until you have covered most (but not quite all) of the head.
 |
| carefully sew the hair to the head, making sure that all of the strands are attached securely |
 |
| The hair should be sewn on facing forwards and then folded back on itself |
 |
| It will look very odd at first when you have very little hair |
 |
| I worked down one side of the head first before doing the other side of the hair |
Once the majority of the head has been covered sew the head to the body and then start attaching the hair from the bottom up, covering up a little of the neck as well. This only needs to be a few wefts but it makes sure that the hair looks good when you tie it in a ponytail. You will end up with a section in the lower centre of the head that just has the glued ends of the wefts but this doesn't matter since it will be hidden once the hair is tied up.
After all of the hair is attached, use a spare strand of brown yarn (preferably one that you have brushed so that it matches the rest of the hair) to tie the hair up in a ponytail. After you've done this you may need to style the hair some more. If you feel that the hair is too thick (Which I did), you may want to use the pet brush you used for the wefts to brush the hair as a whole. When doing this, firmly grip the place when the hair is tied, to make sure you don't pull any of the strands out of the hair as you brush.
You will also most likely need to cut the hair to make it a little shorter. Trim the hair to the correct length using scissors. After this use the pet brush to brush the hair as described before, so that it looks more natural. You may also want to tie the hair up again using a strand of 4ply yarn over the top of where you tied it before, to make it tighter (the 4ply yarn will be stronger as well since the brushing will weaken the brown yarn)

Sew the white/silver section to the open end of the light blue section, so that the stitching of the blue section is showing. Use thread to shape the blue section so that it matches the shape made by the groove on the bottom (straight along one side then curved). I did this by pulling in the neighbouring stitches along the line I wanted to be straight (Image 1/2)
After this, sew the small section onto the bottom of the flat side of the inhaler (Image 3)

I hope you have enjoyed this pattern. If there are any bits you are unsure about, please don't hesitate to ask me, wither in the comments below or on my instagram or ravelry pages. As always I am open to suggestions of patterns you would like me to make. I have lots of free time over the next few weeks so would love some ideas of what to make.
Please don't re-post this pattern or claim it as your own. Please just use finished products for personal use, since whilst I don't personally have a problem with you selling what you've made, the BBC probably will, so I would recommend you don't. I do, however, have lots of patterns that you are very welcome to sell (anything that isn't of a well known character)
