How to attach movable arms and legs on crochet dolls

[@LianaGalati80]

I use dental floss when making bears, my son's bear has lasted 21yrs so far

[@patriciam268]

This is so amazingly smart and easy! I dread sewing on legs and arms and hold my breath through the whole process of getting them in the right place. Thank you so much for sharing. I’m looking for a pattern to make a doll for a friend. I’m going to use your technique!

[@brookegallardo4775]

You are a riot, yes I laughed at your bowling pin joke. Great video, thank you so much, it really helped me out with my project.

[@MrChriso1972]

My favorite Easter memory was when I was younger we always went to my grand parents and celebrated Easter. We would color eggs and hunt eggs all day long. I miss my Grandparents. I love your videos and I love your sense of humor as well. You make me smile when I feel blue and sad. Thanks for your wonderful videos and giveaways.

[@TheProperPineapple]

Thank you!😄

[@1959cloclo]

Oh my goodness, can I just tell you how very pretty you look, absolutely fab.

[@TheProperPineapple]

Awww Thank you 🙏😊🍍

[@susanwalters5757]

Holly, I just found this video after your latest doll video was posted. I must say I love how much you let your personality show now. Keep the great videos coming. My son and I love watching them.

[@dianavazquez9404]

What size is your doll?

[@Jenniferlynn418]

Your husband sounds like a pretty awesome guy! Love your tutorials! Thank you!

[@bevcar9982]

Thank you for making it easy, and also to Liana for suggesting dental floss. I purchased a 'Birch' set of doll needles. Perfect.

[@virginiasmith6970]

Watched this video twice, so helpful! Now I can attach the arms and legs to the monkey I just crocheted!

[@berthamurillo6385]

Do you have a tutorial on how to make your dolls. I would love to learn to make them.

[@michelleochinero1813]

Ive been watching alot of different ways to make joints movable and yours seems the easiest. Can make all the parts then sew on rather than trying to add a cotter pin join and hoping its in the correct position then trying to finish project. Thanks for an easier way.

[@TheProperPineapple]

Glad I could help!

[@teddietrue398]

You make everything look so easy

[@justynape1424]

This is a brilliant way to attach arms. I gave my bunnies movable arms after I watched this video! Have a crochet doll in progress right now, and she will have movable arms too :) I use a string of yarn, as industrial grade thread is out of reach for me - but luckily it seems to work just fine. Thank you for this tip, and sharing. 🎈

[@corlissseabron9522]

Thank you so much for sharing! I found the upholstery needle and thread at Joann’s and tried this for the first time today.

[@suzanneburns6130]

That is awesome!! Tha k you so much for all the time you take out of your schedule to share your knowledge and incredible talents!! Muah!!!!

[@amysmith3466]

Can you please make a video on how to make these amazing dolls. I have little nieces that would go nuts over these. I would love to learn these from you.

[@m.s.harini101]

Can you make a video on how to crochet your dolls from start to finish

[@justarandom4448]

Sadly, she doesnt have any videos, but sells the patterns

[@RollingThroughLife]

Would you consider doing a tutorial on how to crochet your doll, or maybe sell a pattern on etsy?

[@TheProperPineapple]

I am currently working on writing the pattern up, as soon as its finished i will let you all know. ( I want to make sure its perfect)

[@tobyredhead4054]

I’m excited about the pattern. I have three granddaughters that would love them as much as I do. It would be wonderful to be able too crochet them for children of trauma to comfort them as well. Thank you for your tutorials!

[@2ladyhomesteadershodge898]

I would be very I interested in a pattern and a tutorial on your dollies. Thanks for sharing. Vivian Ann on the side of the mountain in NE Tennessee

[@karenjohnson6618]

The Proper Pineapple how about a simple cal for group class on your birthday give away...for the basic instruction. I also thought that your hubby may be able to make special crochet hooks that look like pineapples in different colors.

[@tiggermiss]

Fantastic Idea! Thank you SO much for the video!

[@Rodneyann]

Love it. I’m doing small dolls and animals but you have inspired me to do a large doll. Hope I can. Thanks.

[@ericabates5361]

I also Love your hair in the French Braid 😁 I like that hairstyle for myself 😋 💜 but I can't do it myself 😏 Erica x

[@aheartofworship27]

Seems like a real neat trick only wish we could see a close up on how you attached the arms. It wasn't close enough to appreciate the details.

[@butterflies1957]

Beautiful job!!!! love it! thank you ..lots of blessings for you and your beautiful family...

[@anitaalfie]

I would love to see a tutorial on your dolls . Xx

[@hookthatyarnvlogs]

Your personality is adorable

[@TheProperPineapple]

Thank you

[@melissamaas4029]

Thank you for sharing this. So helpful!!

[@jenniferolds3523]

I've been looking for this exact information thank you so much!

[@millieo.5325]

Love it; thank you! :) If you do the video on how to crochet your dolls, I'd love to see it... and then may order the items for the legs once available. :)

[@bucklebunny6661]

The needles I use for tatting I think would work . Thanks for sharing Holly . I used to make Raggedy Ann & Raggedy Andy dolls 🌹

[@mariab.1997]

Holly, I love the pumpkins behind you. If they are crochet, will you share a tutorial?

[@TheProperPineapple]

They are crochet and I will see what I can do

[@nativewind1174]

The Proper Pineapple, I got your channel from Bag-O-Day crochet. I was watching your tutorial & I just love your crochet dolls. I was just wondering if you had a tutorial for the doll body? I'm the kind of person that like to try out stuff & your doll looks amazing to try. Well have a great day.

[@ericabates5361]

Hello Holly, only just come across this 😁 thank you, very helpful 😋 & also I think it's the first time I have seen you without your glasses on 😋 I had to put my glasses on to see if it was you 😂 💙 Erica x

[@Paslayas]

Excellent tips, could you do a close up next time? Also, your craft room is lovely❤

[@NFPNFLA]

I bet a tatting needle would work for this, also, I wonder if upholstery thread would work?

[@amyharman1915]

Your dolls are beautiful I really hope you do a tutorial one day ❤️

[@LovingsGood41]

Thank you for this video. I used this method when putting limbs on the dolls I've made.

[@anitasapra]

Very interesting! I have just started to learn how to make dolls and I chanced upon your video and decided to subscribe to your channel. Please do put up a video of how to make a crochet doll from start to finish. That would be lovely! Also, what are stitch markers? Never heard of it before. And how do you insert them, that part of the video was not shown as to how you pinned it into the doll. Wish you would show us a close up of that next time. Thanks.😀

[@kathleenchamp3764]

Thank you Holly. I know your hubby is the camera man..that's AWESOME , is there a way he can zoom in? Between colors of yarn and stitches being tight..There's no way to see what your doing. And these lil details matter GREATLY! Your a doll ;-) ty again P.s.noticed this regularly can't Sr what your showing. What agonist a dual screen full video in corner zoom in main frame..? That covers it all. Just a thought to help your your viewers

[@kimwheeler8414]

Could you please do a close up video on how your doing the arms and legs from your point of view so we can see exactly what your doing

[@nanakate6586]

Will you plz do a tutorial on your dolls? They are beautiful. Thank you!

[@Passionata43]

Thank you, it's very helpful to know it ❤

[@lindaparrish4515]

I an so in love with your dolls ! Do you have a pattern for them ?

[@juliak.5064]

Ooh, awesome tip, thank you!

[@patsymutiso]

“Bowling pin”😆 I laughed because I think the same thing.

[@llindsseyy8833]

do you know what yarn you used as the skin tone on that doll? its absolutely gorgeous!

[@TheProperPineapple]

It’s lily sugar and cream in brown

[@llindsseyy8833]

tysm! The color is gorgeous on that doll!

[@Elif-rh7rf]

I hate sawing so it's good ideas thanks. Can we put bottons also?

[@relldagg8292]

Thanks for your tutorial. I am just wondering if you can use the same yarn as what you made the doll with and if it would be strong enough.

[@sheilawestmoreland2461]

I love your dolls, is there any way that I can get the pattern🙄

[@socorrotrevino2488]

[@rachelar6]

Thanks so much! You just saved my crochet project! Also, I need that black and white plaid pumpkin! Omg is there a pattern for that?

[@evazacharias3966]

I love the idea.

[@monicalawhorn2485]

Excellent way to join.

[@monicalawhorn2485]

Could this be done using yarn? I make many dolls and I really can't afford to buy this type of thread in every color I'd need.

[@grandmabenny2283]

Awesome holly 💚

[@NFPNFLA]

Also, are you going to be selling the spines and feet parts?

[@chrissyhobbs3936]

Holly, do you weigh down the dolly's feet with anything besides the platforms you use for the bottoms? If you were to, would you use something like small beans or lentils in a pouch lain on the very bottom?

[@TheProperPineapple]

I don’t buy if I did yes that’s what I would do

[@judysweatman7501]

Awesome! Thank you so much!

[@Thekintter]
