VOODOO DOLL crochet a long

[@lindaphillips1919]

I looooved this project. I loved every single step. Do not speed it up. It is just perfect. I am not a beginner and I appreciate your calm and patience. My granddaughter is a beginner and she did well following every single step. Thank you so much!!!❤

As a beginner I love how you do your tutorials. This will be my first of your but I’m already so excited to do many many more of your tutorials. Thank you for sharing

[@rhondadawnbutler]

Yay! Thank you! 🥰 I’m glad to hear you are enjoying crocheting with me 😊

[@zombrea]

Thank you for the video! I am a beginner and enjoy the step by step start to finish. We did the eyes totally different than I thought we would, had it not been included I probably would have messed my head up lol. I think even if I knew what I was doing I would enjoy seeing it start to finish so I could see the steps you as the creator took to get your finished product.

[@rhondadawnbutler]

Thank you! I am always happy to hear that a beginner has enjoyed one of my videos. I never know if I’m going too fast or too slow, talking too much, or if not editing out my mistakes is really bad, lol, but getting comments like this makes all my videoing struggles sooooo worth it !!!!! 🥰

Yes please keep doing embroidery because I know nothing! Thank you for sharing❤

You are very welcome! 🥰 thanks for letting me know you enjoy the embroidery, I do plan to continue doing it that way 😊

[@steph.v.o.7078]

I am 38, when I was about 8 my grandmother learned me to crochet, I stopped about 10 years ago. Never did dolls or anything, just blankets and granny squares 😅 Recently I picked it up again. My voodoo doll turned up somewhat oké, could be better, but this video was wonderfull!!

[@rhondadawnbutler]

Oh that was the same for me, learned from two grannies around 10 , and now I’ll be 50 end of this year. My first ones were not great looking at all. Sometimes they’re still far from perfect, lol. One good thing about doing voodoo dolls as an early project, is they can look soooooo imperfect and still be awesome . 🥰😊

[@steph.v.o.7078]

@@rhondadawnbutler oh that is so lovely two grannies 🥰 My son thinks it is the most perfect imperfect voodoo doll, so I am glad about that 😃

I love your work and I can keep up with you. To me your paste is great. I have done two of your projects and looking forward to do the third. I'm catching on to how you sew the arms to the head, I love it. You do amazing work and thank you for the instructions that is so easy to follow . Thank you.

[@hippy1010gypsy]

Thank you! This was such a fun project. I'm not a beginner, but really appreciate the step by step instructions, would have never got the stiches right without you...

[@rhondadawnbutler]

Oh that’s great. I never know what level I would describe my videos as. I feel like if you’ve made a few ami’s you can just listen and keep up. A beginner might not realize the repeats. And an experienced crochet might be bored following every stitch, lol. So ty so much for this comment 🥰. I’m glad you enjoyed watching!!! Even though my videoing skills leave a lot to be desired. Haha.. ❤️

[@tn2stepper37087]

I loved everything about this video. With all the counting stitches, I needed someone talking me through each. SUCH A HELP!!!! I have just finished the body but not started the embroidery yet. Don't change anything about your video. I could never have done this with a 15 minute video. The ONLY thing I would recommend is doing the arms FIRST. Trying to find the end of a new skein I was using (362 yds) was a messy nightmare. Lol I was rear ended in a wreck one year ago. This little guy is going in the rear window of my new (to me) car to warn motorist not to mess with me. 😂

[@rhondadawnbutler]

Thank you! I’m glad you found it so helpful, and I agree, I will continue to put everything in and let the viewer decide if they wanna skip around or fast forward etc. I think this was my first attempt at no sew, after this I always do the arms and legs first now when necessary. I hope you enjoy your new to you car and that this little guy brings you good luck and keeps you safe 🥰

[@MariaMorales-ul6bm]

Keep everything. If we want to speed it up or slow it down we can do it ourselves with the speed control. I love seeing the embroidery so I can learn how to do it. Keep everything the way your doing it, it's perfect!

[@rhondadawnbutler]

Awww thank you 🥰 yes I’ve since decided that very thing. It’s there for those who need it, and skippable for those that don’t. It makes them very long though, lol. But worth it 😊

[@michellesantos4632]

I learn more from your video's than any I have watch so far. I am new to making this type but have been making blankets for a while. Please keep everything you do; I don't think they are too much.

[@rhondadawnbutler]

Awwwwwww thank you!!! 🥰 I’m glad I was able to help you out… and thank you for your opinion on leaving everything in. I used to worry about how much longer it made everything, but then I just decided that I have to do it myself anyways, so might as well record it. And if someone doesn’t need to see it all, they can just fast forward. 😊

[@TheLeathersmithShop]

Just started and this is my second project. First was a simple soap pouch. I am absolutely grateful for the full length of the video and the explanations. It's easy enough for more advanced people to skip around. Only thing I would've changed was a quick example of how to do an increase or decrease, I had no idea what those were at the beginning lol.

[@rhondadawnbutler]

That’s awesome that this was only your second project and you got through it!!! I 100% agree with you that if your new to crochet, showing the increase and decrease would definitely be helpful. I almost did a learn to crochet the basic stitches video last year. And then I was going to attach a little project using that stitch to each video. But couldn’t decide if I was going backwards doing that. I actually got started with how to hold your hook, then realized there are sooooo many ways, and confused my own self on how to make it simplified. Lol. Thank you for the reminder, I may still do that. 👍😊 and thanks so much for crocheting with me, and letting me be a part of your new crochet journey, maybe see you in another one! ❤️😊❤️

Can u make a keychain size version, i like this because no cutting, only the arms :)

[@rhondadawnbutler]

Hi serene, I don’t have a keychain size at the moment, but you could probably follow my gingerbread ornament pattern without the color changes, and smaller eyes to make a smaller version of the voodoo doll. Hope that helps for now ❤️😊❤️ GINGERBREAD MAN NO SEW CROCHET A LONG ORNAMENT KEYCHAIN kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4nJnGmnZ5iJn7c

I made a voodoo doll following this video for my other half, it’s green orc barbarian named baa-ph that is his favourite D&D character that’s he’s made… he now wants a bigger one… what would be the best way to this as i have already used chunky wool to make his first baa-ph? Double/treble up on the wool or just increase the amount of rounds?

[@rhondadawnbutler]

You may be able to increase the rows. For every increase row on the head you’ll need to have one more repeat row in the middle. The body is a bit trickier cause of proportions, but I would do at least one more row for every extra row in the head. And not do the arms or legs until you were on the row they are added. Personally I’d try doubling the yarn if you have a hook big enough. Good luck ❤️😊❤️

If I wanted to use an actual button instead of crocheting the button, what size do you suggest?

[@rhondadawnbutler]

Hi Stephanie, ummmm probably around a 20mm button. If you don’t have a stash of them and are going out to buy some specifically for this, try holding up some coins, or similar round objects to get an idea of the size that looks best. I think I would go bigger before I went smaller 👍😊

Write it down that's what I did

[@rhondadawnbutler]

Just at the top atm.

[@johnniefreeman6847]

Oh and also I'm a little confused on what you said about. I think row 7-8. are you saying that each of those rows have a total of 7 rows each? If that makes sense. or did you mean that those 2 rows will come out to be 7 rows. Or am I just not understanding entirely?

[@rhondadawnbutler]

Hi johnnie. (For voodoo doll) Row 7 is your last increase row. (5sc, 1inc for a total of 42 stitches) then when you get to row 8… it will be 7 rows of 42 stitches. So rows 8 to 14 are all 42. Then I come back on row 15 to start decrease rows. Hope that helps 😊

[@stephanierosado1299]

I’m needing a little help for the legs. Any time I did it while counting all the right stitches, mine only counts up to 11 stitches on each side/leg. I’ve been counting the whole time and it’s working, but that ONE spot I’m having serious trouble with. Is there any advice you can give?

[@rhondadawnbutler]

Hmmm. On the previous row, are you getting 24? Mathematically if the previous row is 24, that leaves 12 on each side… I’m trying to think where it’s going wrong, but I can’t think of anything. I do have a solution for you though, and that is to just do an increase somewhere on the backside of each leg to get you to the 12 stitches. I don’t think it will make any difference, unless you find happen to find the two missing stitches when you do the second leg, and then you may have to redo the first. I hope that helps. And Good luck 😊

[@stephanierosado1299]

@@rhondadawnbutleryeah I kept counting and it was 24. But I decided to take your advice with the increase. I did it and redid it like 8 times but I kept getting 11 even when I counted 24. So I just increased and it turned out fine

[@johnniefreeman6847]

So I've been having this issue while I'm krocheting the strands of my yarn unwind and come apart to where I have to stop and twist them back together or else I constantly snag the stands with the crochet hook and was curious if anyone had any advice on how to stop this from happening.

[@rhondadawnbutler]

Great question ! My yarn does that when I use the plush yarn. I think it’s because I grab and twist with my hook instead of physically doing yarn over. But Not 100 % sure. Hopefully someone out there has an answer for you 😊

[@johnniefreeman6847]

Hello, is the loop at the beginning a magic ring?

It’s not, but you can use a magic ring or any other way u like to start as long as it’s the same amount of sc in the first loop (round 1) 😊

Do you happen to have a printable pattern? I have made a couple of these, but when I go back to make them again, I have to go through the video over and over again. I am new at all this and it is so much easier for me to be able to look at the numbers than to have to watch such a long video over and over again. I do LOVE the video and learned a LOT from watching it, but to some degree I am still struggling without a pattern to look at.

[@rhondadawnbutler]

For now I can only write the pattern at the top of the video. Unfortunately any way I look into it ends up I have to sign up for a online payment account. Which I don’t use. 😊
