The video introduces the tutorial for knitting a magical rose and invites viewers to subscribe and follow on social media. It then lists the necessary materials: 2.5mm crochet hook, scissors, marker, liquid silicone, wool needle, wooden stick, stuffing, and 8mm safety eyes.
The tutorial begins with making the doll's head. Round 1 starts with a magic ring of six single crochets. Subsequent rounds (2-5) involve increases by working only on the back loop, increasing the stitch count to 30. Rounds 6-8 introduce color changes for the hair and face, maintaining 30 stitches. Rounds 9-12 are worked with complete stitches, maintaining 30 single crochets. Rounds 13-14 involve decreases, bringing the stitch count down to 18.
Instructions are provided for placing the 8mm safety eyes. The eyes are positioned on the last round, three stitches up, with four stitches separating them. The video then demonstrates how to create eyelashes using a wool needle and black thread, and how to add white highlights to the eyes.
Round 15 continues with single crochet and decreases, reducing the stitch count to 12. The head is then filled with stuffing. Round 16 combines decreases and single crochets, resulting in 10 stitches. Round 17 maintains 10 single crochets. Round 18 involves a color change to the rose color, maintaining 10 single crochets. Round 19 consists of 10 increases, bringing the stitch count to 20.
Two arms are created, each starting with a magic ring of six single crochets. Rounds 2-6 maintain these six stitches. The arms are then attached to the body in round 20 by making three single crochets through both the arm and body fabric. Round 21 works stitches over stitches, creating three single crochets on the arm strand. Rounds 22-23 maintain 20 stitches.
Round 24 involves increases (three single crochets and one increase), resulting in 25 stitches. Round 25 balances the fabric with two single crochets, an increase, four single crochets, an increase, and two single crochets, leading to 30 stitches. Round 26 continues with increases (five single crochets and one increase), reaching 35 stitches. Round 27 maintains 35 stitches. Round 28 involves more balancing (three single crochets, increase, six single crochets), ending with 40 stitches. Rounds 29-30 maintain 40 stitches.
Round 31 begins the petals, working only on the back strand. Fans are created with three chains, two double crochets, two chains, and two double crochets in the same stitch, skipping three stitches between fans. This process is repeated for a second layer of fans on the free strands from the previous round. Each fan space is then filled with nine double crochets to form the petals.
The doll's hair is made by adding brown thread. Starting from a specific point, nine chains are worked, then seven half double crochets are made back down the chain to form a strand. This sequence is repeated for nine strands, skipping one stitch between each. The excess thread is hidden, and the strands are glued to the doll's head with liquid silicone.
Further petals are added to the head by attaching rose-colored thread. Fans are created similar to the body petals: two single crochets, two chains, and two single crochets in the same stitch, skipping three stitches between fans. These fans are then filled with nine double crochets to form the petals.
The stem begins with a magic ring of five single crochets. Rounds 2-7 involve consistent increases (five increases per round), bringing the stitch count to 35. Round 8 changes color to the rose color, working on the back loop with six single crochets and one increase, resulting in 40 stitches.
Rounds 9-13 of the stem maintain 40 stitches. A long strand is left for attaching the stem to the rose. Five leaves are then crocheted. Each leaf starts with seven single crochets, then decreases by one stitch per row by skipping the first stitch, until only one stitch remains. The completed leaves are then hidden with leftover thread.
A wooden stick is glued into the stem and attached to the rose using the long thread left earlier. The leaves are then glued to the stem, leaving the tips unglued. The wooden stick is wrapped with green thread. Finally, pearls are added around the doll's neck as an optional step, and blush is applied to the doll's cheeks for a finished look.
