except where noted to leave a tail for sewing.

Secure active yarn loop onto a stitch marker and attach
the eyes on the front of the head at R13 with 6sc between the button edges. The front of the
head is the side opposite from the st marker. This is important because there will be a color
change in the next section which will look neater if it is on the back of the doll. Then continue
with shirt section below. Do not cut the yarn, the head and shirt sections are worked
continuously.

With forest green yarn ch15 making sure to leave about a 10-inch tail from the starting chain’s

R2-40. ch1, turn, 1sc in each st across (14)

Coat Assembly
1. Sew the coat closed using the 10-inch tail from
the starting chain. The closure should be about 9
sts tall. Fold the top left corner down to form a
lapel. Continue with this same tail and weave it
through the coat to the left and secure the corner of
the lapel down. Weave in end, cut off excess yarn.
2. Fold the right lapel down and using the 40-inch
tail secure it in place with a couple of sts. Do not
cut yarn yet as you will use this long thread to sew
the coat to the shirt.
3. Place the shirt in the coat and continue with a
running st around the top of the coat and shirt together about 2 crochets down to secure the
shirt to the coat. Once you’ve made a running st all around, make a few sts down and make
another running st around the bottom about 4 crochets up. Weave in end and cut off any
excess length.

R6. *2sc in the first st, 1 sc in each of the next 4 sts*, repeat *to* around (36)
Cut yarn, fasten off, weave in ends.
Mask
In this section we will be working from both ends of the skein which will help minimize the
amount of ends that are sewn in. If for some reason you are unable to work from both ends
then you can always fasten off at the end of row 10, then join with a new yarn at row R20 where
it says to continue with the active loop.
Ch13 with the white yarn.
R1. 1sc in the 2nd ch from the hook, 1sc in each st across (12)
R2. ch1, turn, 2sc in the first st, 1sc in each of the next 10 sts, 2sc in the last st (14)
R3. ch1, turn, 2sc in the first st, 1sc in each of the next 12 sts, 2sc in the last st (16)
R4. ch1, turn, 2sc in the first st, 1sc in each of the next 14 sts, 2sc in the last st (18)
R5. ch1, turn, 2sc in the first st, 1sc in each of the next 16 sts, 2sc in the last st (20)
R6. ch1, turn, 1sc in each st across (20)
R26. ch1, turn, *sc2tog, 1sc in each of the next 5 sts*, repeat *to* once, sc2tog (13)
Do not cut yarn, we will now create a border around the mask. Ch1 and sc around the left side
of the mask, then the bottom of the mask, then the right side of the mask. Once you get all the
way around to the first st in R26, you will make a R27, which will serve as the top border of the
mask.
R27. 1sc in each of the first 2 sts, sc2tog, 1sc in each of the next 5 sts, sc2tog, 1sc in each of
the last 2 sts (11)
Cut yarn leaving about a 10-inch tail for sewing and fasten off.
Mask Strap
Ch6 with the black yarn, be sure to leave about a
10-inch tail from the starting chain which will be
used for sewing.
R1. 1sc in the 2nd ch from the hook, 1sc in each
of the next 4 sts (5)
R2-11. ch1, turn, 1sc in each st across (5)
R12. ch1, turn, 1sc in each of the first 5 sts, ch17
(22)
R13. turn, 1sc in the 2nd ch from the hook, 1sc in
each st across (21)
R14-17. ch1, turn, 1sc in each st across (21)
R18. ch1, turn, 1sc in each of the first 5 sts (5)
R19-29. ch1, turn, 1sc in each across (5)
Cut yarn leaving about a 10-inch tail for sewing and fasten off.
Mask Assembly
1. Using a marking tool (I used a permanent
marker), make several dots on the mask to mark
where you will paint the black circles. Use photo
to the right as a guide.
2. Dip eraser end of the pencil into the black
fabric paint and paint the marked dots by
“stamping” with the painted eraser. Let the
paint dry.
Make additional embroidery stitches as needed for coverage. Depending on the weight of the
yarn used you may need more stitches or less stitches. Once you are happy with the look, tie
off both tails on the back of the mask and cut excess lengths.
4. Using the white tail on the top of the mask, sew the strap end to
the top middle of the mask. Weave in end and cut excess length.
5. Using the black tails on the mask straps, sew the strap sides to
the side of the mask even with the eye holes. I like to sew into the
back bump of the white single crochet border because it hides the
black stitching. Weave in ends and cut excess lengths.
Machete
Make an adjustable ring with the black yarn, be sure to leave about a 10-inch tail hanging on the
inside of the piece which will be used for tying later.
R1. 6sc in the ring, pull to tighten (6)
R2. 2sc in each st around (12)
R3-6. 1sc in each st around (12)
Change color to pewter, cut black yarn leaving about a 15-inch tail and continue
R7-8. 1sc in each st around (12)
Place active loop on stitch marker and feed both the 10-inch
and 15-inch tail through the side of the handle. See picture on
the right. These will be used later to secure the machete to the
dolls hand.
R9. 2sc in the first st, 1sc in each of the last 11 sts (13)
R10. 2sc in each of the first 2 sts, 1sc in each of the last 11 sts
(15)

1sc in each of the last 12 sts (17)
R13-14. 1sc in each st around (17)
R15. 1sc in each of the first 2 sts, 2sc in the third st, 1sc in the fourth st, 2sc in the next st, 1sc in
each of the last 12 sts (19)
R16-24. 1sc in each st around (19)
R25. 1sc in each of the first 3 sts, invdec, 1sc, invdec, 1sc in each of the next 8 sts (this round
does not have a st count since it is not a complete round)
Cut yarn leaving about a 10-inch tail for sewing and fasten off.
Machete Assembly
1. Lay machete on the piece of cardboard and
trace around the machete. Cut out the shape
making sure to cut slightly inside the drawn
line so that the cardboard piece will fit into the
crochet piece.
2. Fit the cardboard into the machete. Give
the cardboard an extra little trim if it doesn’t fit.
3. Using the 10-inch pewter tail, whipstitch the
top of the machete closed. Weave in end and
cut any excess length.
4. Using the red fabric paint, paint the blade
(curved) edge of the machete. Apply thicker
paint to the curved edge, then thinner as you
go up the side of the blade. I used fabric paint
with a small squirt spout and just used that to
apply and spread the fabric paint. A toothpick,
old pencil, or similar type of item could also be used to apply the paint.
Assembly
1. Stuff the arms (only lightly stuff the top of the arms). Sew the arms closed and sew them onto
the side of the body slightly angled towards the front.
2. Stuff the head and the body.
3. Using the 20-inch pewter tail from the shirt, sew the bum piece to the bottom of the shirt. Add
more stuffing as needed while sewing this section closed.
4. Stuff the legs (only lightly stuff the top of the legs). Sew the legs closed and sew them onto
the front, bottom of the shirt.
5. Using the longer tail from the machete handle, sew the machete to the hand. Tie off to the
shorter black yarn, hiding it between the machete and the hand, and cut excess lengths.
6. Place mask onto doll’s head.
