Needle Sculpting an Amigurumi Doll Face

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Needle sculpting is a way to add contours to an otherwise smooth surface, with carefully placed and tightened stitches. This is a particularly useful technique for sculpting facial features on knit or crochet amigurumi projects.
In this tutorial, you'll see a few basic steps to create eye sockets and a nose. The sample shown is from my Serrana the Mermaid pattern, which you can find here: stitchesnscraps.com/free-patt...

  • @StitchesnScraps

    4 ай бұрын

    Maybe one day :) I don't make a lot of dolls though. In the meantime, the theory is the same for wherever you want to shape - if you want it to go in, sew into it and pull it tight (like the eyes). If you want it to stick out, sew around/across it from underneath and pull it tight to pinch it up (like the nose). So if you created a depression for the mouth with a few small, tight stitches pulled inwards, it would puff the cheeks out a bit. You could also add dimples with a small stitch on each cheek.

    Basically, find the low spots - the places that you want to indent, and sew through those places. When you pull on the stitch, it will draw those points in, just like for the eyes in this video. If you have places you want to raise, sew across them so they get pinched together, like the nose. It may take some trial and error, but those two concepts combined should work for just about any shape :) Feel free to reach out to me on my facebook page if you have any questions. facebook.com/StitchesnScraps/

  • @StitchesnScraps

    @StitchesnScraps

    3 жыл бұрын

    That's a great question! I never actually use those and had to think about it. You would need to leave an opening / not fully finish the crochet, stuff it so you could do your needle sculpting, place your eyes (pushing the stuffing out of the way as needed), then finish crocheting the piece. Here's a video I found using safety eyes with needle sculpting. kzread.info/dash/bejne/g4CGzI-Jhau5cqg.html

    I haven’t done one myself, but it’s the same general concept. Wherever you put the stitches and pull tightly, it will make an indent. So you can play with placement to get whatever shape you’re trying to create.

    For this pattern I did not indent the mouth - it didn't need it. But if you want to, the same principals would apply. Where you want to indent the fabric, sew a stitch and then pull it down tightly (like the eyes). Where you want to make a raised ridge, sew stitches across the ridge at the back, and then pull them to raise the ridge up (like the nose).
