You can buy my handmade Bigli Migli in my ETSY shop

I met with Bigli Migli stickers first on Facebook and I really like them. They are
simple but so adorable. So I asked their creator Sepideh Davoudi if she
allowed me to create my crochet Bigli Migli dolls and publish their pattern. She
was kind and gave me her permission. I thank her very much!
I've made a FREE PATTERN, which you can find below. Please note, that this
pattern is for personal use only and may not be resold or redistributed. Thank
you for being respectful and for your understanding! Id be happy if you send
photos of your creations which you made with this pattern. Happy crocheting!

* Size of the creations made with the listed tools (appr.): Height: 12 cm /
4.72; Width (head): 9 cm / 3.54 - Deluxe Bamboo yarn is really soft, so I love
it, but I used 100% mercerized cotton to make the limbs, because it is stronger.
You can use other type of yarns but in that case your creation may look
different and may have other sizes than mine.

- ABBREVIATIONS -
BLO = back loops only
ch = chain
dc = double crochet
dch = double chain stitch

R20: 12 dec (12)
Fasten off and close the remaining hole. *Photo2-4

Body (with white yarn)


! I join rounds with a slip stich, then I make 1 chain. It is marked with [1 sl st 1
ch] at the end of the rows. But these dont count as stitches, so they are not
count in the number in the parentheses, at the end of the rows. I start the next
round into the same stich as the sl st join.
R1:11 hdc in Magic Ring, [1 sl st, 1 ch] (11)
R2: 11 inc, [1 sl st, 1 ch] (22)
R3: (1 hdc, 1 inc 11 times, [1 sl st, 1 ch] (33)
R4: (2 hdc, 1 inc) 11 times, [1 sl st, 1 ch] (44) *Photo5
R5: 44 hdc BLO, [1 sl st] (44)
! I join the 5th round with a sl st, but I dont make 1 ch, because I will work
in continuous rounds from now. So I start the 6th row to the next stich and I
make the 42th hdc into the last sl st:
R6: 5 hdc, 1 dec, 20 hdc, 1 dec, 15 hdc (42) *Photo6
R7: 42 hdc (42)
R8: 9 hdc, 1 dec, 19 hdc, 1 dec, 10 hdc (40)
R9: (18 hdc, 1 dec) twice (38)
R10: 13 hdc, 1 dec, 17 hdc, 1 dec, 4 hdc (36)
R11: 5 hdc, 1 dec, 16 hdc, 1 dec, 11 hdc (34)
R12: (15 hdc, 1 dec) twice (32)
R13: 32 hdc (32) *Photo7
Since I make this doll with hdc instead of sc, and I mostly work in continuous
rounds, the body is a bit asymmetric now. So some more stitches are needed:
4 hdc, 2 sc, 1 sl st
Now the body is symmetric. *Photo8 Cut the yarn leaving a long tail for sewing.
Stuff the body but not too firmly, so the doll can sit stably. *Photo9 Finally attach
the body to the head. I usually count 32 holes at the bottom of the head, and I
follow them while I sew, so the result will be neat and it wont be
asymmetric. *Photo10-13
Arms (make 2 with black yarn)
In favor of visibility I illustrate them with a thicker, colored yarn, instead of
black.
R1: 2 sc in Magic Ring, 2 hdc, 2 sc (6) *Photo15
Make sure you leave long yarn tail when you make the Magic Ring (ca. 15
cm/6), because we will work with it later. (Yarn1)
1 sl st (I join the round with a sl st, making sure that the yarn tail (Yarn1) is on
the right side (on my side). *Photo16
11 dch (= wrap the yarn tail (Yarn1) *Photo17, then make a chain with the
working yarn (Yarn2). *Photo18-20)
Cut the yarn (Yarn2) leaving a long tail for sewing. Attach the arms to sides of
body, into the top row of the body. *Photo21 Knot the yarn *Photo22, and hide
them in the body. *Photo23
Legs (make 2 with black yarn)
R1: 3 sc in Magic Ring, 3 dc, 3 sc (6)
Make sure you leave long yarn tail when you make the Magic Ring (ca. 15
cm/6), because we will work with it later. (Yarn1)
1 sl st (I join the round with a sl st, making sure that the yarn tail (Yarn1) is on
the right side (on your side). *Photo25
Cut the working yarn (Yarn2), leaving a long tail for working. Pull it through the
center of the Magic Ring, from the wrong to the right side. Make sure you
dont rid off the chain on your hook. Photo26-27
11 dch (wrap the yarn tail (Yarn1), then make a chain with the working yarn
(Yarn2). *Photo28-31 When you make the first dch, make sure to hold the yarn
really tight, because this enables the foot and the leg to meet at a right angle.)
Attach the legs at the bottom of the body, between R3 and R4 just like the
arms. *Photo32
Eyes
Sew the eyes with black yarn, between R12 and R13 of the head. Knot the
ends of the yarn, *Photo33 and hide them in the body.

Heart (with red yarn)


2 hdc, 2 sc, 1 hdc, 2 sc, 2 hdc, 1 ch, 1 sl st in Magic Ring *Photo34
Cut the yarn and pull it through the center of the Magic Ring (from the right
side to the wrong side). Pull the Magic Ring closed, make a knot *Photo35,
and sew it onto the body.

Bow (with red yarn)


3 ch, 4 trc, 3 ch, 1 sl st, 3 ch, 4 trc, 3 ch, 1 st in Magic Ring*Photo36
Cut the yarn and pull it through the center of the Magic Ring (from the right
side to the wrong side). Pull the Magic Ring closed, and make a knot. Wrap
the center of the bow around and knot the yarn again, on the back side of the
bow. *Photo37
Simply embroider the white dots into the bow or use for example white
dimensional (puffy) fabric paint. *Photo38

Hair (with black yarn)


Simply sew two hairs onto the head of the girl. For the boy, knot a short yarn
onto the top of the head: fold it in half, pull it through a stitch in the top of the
head, finally pull the 2 ends of the yarn through the loop.

Scarf (optional - with red yarn, I used 3.25 mm crochet hook)


R1: 142 ch, turn
R2: 140 hdc, 2 ch, turn starting in the 3rd chain from hook
R3: 140 hdc starting in the 3rd chain from hook
I knot some short yarns at the two ends of the scarf and its done.
