New Mang Crochet Pattern

Two weeks ago I came up with a pattern to crochet the new Mang and a lot of people were interested in the pattern. I started filming it for YouTube but since I have a lot of ongoing projects it is taking longer than I expected. So I asked if people would be interested in the written version if they don’t want to wait for the video. This version has no photos, just written instructions but I hope it will be enough for you to make your own. The video version will be available in a few weeks.

Note: Do not redistribute this pattern or use the finished doll for commercial purposes, thank you.

Materials:

• 4/medium acrylic or cotton yarn in Lavender, white, and light blue (I recommend using the same brand & weight for both colors)
• 2.75mm crochet hook
• Fiberfill for stuffing
• 9mm safety eyes
• Felt in black, red and pink
• yarn needle

Abbreviations:

• Rnd = round
• sc = single crochet
• inc = increase
• dec = decrease
• st = stitch
• ch = chain
• L = lavender color
• W = white color

LEGS/BODY: (starts with lavender)

Rnd 2: 2 sc in each st around (10)
Rnd 3: [1 sc, inc] x 5 times (15)
Rnd 4 to 6: sc in each st around (15)
Make 2. Don't fasten off the second leg, you will continue on with that thread to crochet the body.
Second leg, ch 1, attach to other leg with one single crochet. (will count as a stitch in the next round).Crochet one more single crochet and put a stitch marker on that last stitch.
Rnd 7: L. leg 14 sc, 1 sc in chain stitch, R. leg 16 sc, 1 sc in other side of chain stitch, L. leg 2 sc (34)

Rnd 20: [2 sc, dec] x 8 times (24)
Stuff the body with fiberfill and continue with same thread to make the head. You will need white thread to change colors along the way.(W is white and L is for lavender). Continue stuffing along the way.

Rnd 51: [1 sc, dec] x 6 times (12)
Rnd 52: dec 5 times (7)
Fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing. Finish stuffing. With a yarn needle, insert your thread in each front loop of last stitch and pull the thread to close the hole.

ARMS: (lavender)
Make a magic ring
Rnd 1: 5 sc in center of the ring (5)
Rnd 2: 2 sc in each st around (10)
Rnd 3 to 12: sc in each st around (10)
Fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing. Stuff the arms but do not stuff too much on top.
There are two ways you can attach the arms to the body. I like to sew the arms shut with the remaining thread and glue them to the body. If you prefer you can sew the arms directly to the body.

EARS: (lavender and light blue)
Make a magic ring with lavender color
Rnd 1: 6 sc in center of the ring (6)
Rnd 2: 2 sc in next 3 stitches (change to B on last stitch), 2 sc in next 3 stitches (change to L on last stitch) (12)
Rnd 3: [1 sc, inc] x 3 times (change to B on last stitch), [1 sc, inc] x 3 times (change to L on last stitch) (18)
Rnd 4: [2 sc, inc] x 3 times (change to B on last stitch), [2 sc, inc] x 3 times (change to L on last stitch) (24)
Rnd 5: [3 sc, inc] x 3 times (change to B on last stitch), [3 sc, inc] x 3 times (change to L on last stitch) (30)
Rnd 6 to 7: 15 sc (change to B), 15 sc (change to L) (30)
Rnd 8: [3 sc, dec] x 2 times, 2 sc, dec, 1 sc (change to B), [3 sc, dec] x 3 times (change to L) (24)
Rnd 9: 12 sc (change to B), 12 sc (24)
Fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing. Flatten the ear and sew it shut with the remaining thread. Fold the ears at the bottom and glue them to the head. (I find it easier this way than sewing them directly to the head)

SCARF: (light blue color)
Make a slip knot in your hook and crochet a chain of 40 stitches.
Row 1: 14 sc, 3 hdc, 1 dc, in next stitch [1 dc, ch 1, 1 dc], 3 hdc, 17 sc.
Fasten off and weave in your remaining thread. 

That's it. I hope you enjoy this pattern and if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask me on IG at Pyroprincess7. If you find any typos let me know as I did not get this pattern tested for it. (hopefully I didn't make any typos). Happy crocheting!
