This model of Anne Lister from Gentleman Jack was made as part of a series of LGBTQ+ people I made to celebrate pride month back in June. I have also created a model of Ann Walker, which I will be posting shortly.
Both of these models are part of my little animals collection, so the clothes will fit onto most of the animals in that collection.
Difficulty:
Medium
You will need:
- A 2.5mm crochet hook
- A 2mm crochet hook
- A 0.7mm crochet hook (0.8mm would also work)
- Dk yarn in beige (or a similar skin colour)
- 4ply yarn in black
- #8 crochet cotton in white
- #10 crochet cotton in black
- embroidery thread in black, white, dark brown, dark blue, tan, and dark grey
- A small piece of cardboard 8.5cm wide
- A small section of clear (or white) plastice (you want it relatively thick but possible to cut and sew through)
- A small piece of black felt
- regular sewing cotton in brown, black, and white
- A pet brush
- PVA glue (optional)
- A regular sewing needle
- A darning needle
- Toy stuffing
- A pair of scissors
Note:
- '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 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.
- This pattern includes the back-to-front single crochet stitch (bfsc). A video to show you how to do this can be found here. It's pretty simple but if you can't work it out you can just use a regular single crochet stitch, but this will give it a slightly different look.
- The 'loop behind the back loop' refers to the '3rd loop' in the diagram below

Row 1: make 2sc in this st. ch1, turn (2sc)
Row 2: make 2sc in both of these sts (4sc)
Fasten off
Sew this to the face
Create eye sockets by making repeated stitches through the head either side of the nose.
For the eyes:
Use white embroidery thread to embroider the whites of the eyes into the eye sockets. Add the irises using dark brown embroidery thread, and then add the pupils over the top using black embroidery thread. Add a highlight using white thread. You may also want to use beige embroidery thread to add an upper eyelid to the eye. Note that this doesn't have to be perfect and can be altered later on to better suit the rest of the facial features (eg. I made the eyes slightly larger and accentuated the highlight right at the end because they didn't look quite right).
For the ears(make 2):
With a 2mm hook make a magic loop with 4sc
Fasten off
Sew to the sides of the head
For the hair:
Wrap dark brown yarn many times around a section of cardboard approx. 8.5cm wide. Cut the yarn at one end to give a number of 17cm long strands.
Attach 4 or 5 strands to both sides of the head either side of the ear. You should attache them by folding each strand in half and pulling the looped end through a stitch in the head before threading the free ends through this loop you've created (there is a more detailed explanation of this on my David Bowie pattern if you're unsure what I mean).
After you've done this use the pet brush to brush these strands of hair to make them smoother and more fluffy, as can be seen below.

Row 2: make 2sc in both of these sts (4sc)
Fasten off
Sew this to the face
For the eyes:
Use white embroidery thread to embroider the whites of the eyes into the eye sockets. Add the irises using dark brown embroidery thread, and then add the pupils over the top using black embroidery thread. Add a highlight using white thread. You may also want to use beige embroidery thread to add an upper eyelid to the eye. Note that this doesn't have to be perfect and can be altered later on to better suit the rest of the facial features (eg. I made the eyes slightly larger and accentuated the highlight right at the end because they didn't look quite right).
For the ears(make 2):
With a 2mm hook make a magic loop with 4sc
Fasten off
Sew to the sides of the head
For the hair:
Wrap dark brown yarn many times around a section of cardboard approx. 8.5cm wide. Cut the yarn at one end to give a number of 17cm long strands.
Attach 4 or 5 strands to both sides of the head either side of the ear. You should attache them by folding each strand in half and pulling the looped end through a stitch in the head before threading the free ends through this loop you've created (there is a more detailed explanation of this on my David Bowie pattern if you're unsure what I mean).
After you've done this use the pet brush to brush these strands of hair to make them smoother and more fluffy, as can be seen below.
You now need to curl up these strands of hair into ringlets on the head. Secure them in place using small stitches with a regular sewing needle and dark brown thread.
After this you need to attach around 10 strands to the top centre of the head. These will create the hairline, so try to make sure they are arranged in 2 definite rows (although these rows should be very close together). Brush these strands until they are smooth. You then need to flatten them down until they meet the previous row of ringlets and secure them in place with a few stitches. The ends should then be fashioned into a second layer of ringlets just above the first one.
You then need to sew the head to the neck of the body.
After you've done this you will need to add hair to the back of the head. Attach it in a sort of semicircle shape, the bottom of which lies just above the point where the head meets the neck, with the sides just behind the ears. Once again you should brush this until it is smooth and fluffly.
Brush this hair upwards and secure it in place using a few stitches just below where the ringlets are
Once you've done this curl all loose hair around into a bun shape and seccure with repeated small stitches using dark brown sewing cotton.
For the eyebrows and mouth:
Using a single strand of dark brown embroidery thread sew the eyebrows in place, using repeated small stitches to try to imitate the individual hairs. After you've done this sew the mouth in place using a single strand of black embroidery thread.
