😁 The Hulk Hogan Smile Teeth
🧶 Option 1: Crocheted Teeth (for full-yarn dolls)
This method keeps it all yarn and is ideal for crochet purists.
Materials:
- White yarn (same weight as body)
- Crochet hook (same size as rest of doll)
- Tapestry needle
- Stitch marker
Pattern:
- Ch 7
- R1: Starting in 2nd ch from hook, sc in each ch (6)
- R2–3: sc across (6)
- FO and leave long tail for sewing
➡️ This creates a flat rectangle that looks like a toothy strip.
➡️ For extra realism, embroider a single vertical line or two to mimic tooth divisions if desired.
Attach:
- Position horizontally just under the mustache or above the lower lip.
- Lightly sew it into the space between upper and lower lip.
- Curve the ends slightly to match the rounded smile.
🧵 Option 2: Felt Teeth (easy & clean)
Materials:
- Thin white felt sheet
- Small scissors
- Fabric glue or invisible thread
- Optional: black embroidery thread for tooth lines
Steps:
- Cut a rounded rectangle about 1 cm x 2.5 cm (or sized to face)
- Optional: Stitch or draw 1–2 vertical lines for tooth divisions
- Carefully glue or stitch it into the face opening
➡️ This method gives the cleanest comic-style “grin” look—perfect for character dolls like this one.
✂️ Optional: Crochet Lip Frame
To frame the teeth like in the image:
- Use light pink or skin-tone yarn
- Embroider or crochet a thin strip (ch 7, sc across) and sew above and below the teeth to define the lips
📌 Final Tip
Always pin the teeth first and preview the grin before attaching. This lets you adjust the curve or trim the shape for the perfect Hulk Hogan smirk!
💇 Hair (Strips)
With yellow yarn:
Make about 15–20 hair strands.
- Ch 10–14, sl st back down. FO.
- Attach strands along the sides and back of the head, leaving the top bare for the headband.

✋ Fingers and Hands
Each hand has 4 fingers + 1 thumb, all curled into a fist shape. Here’s how to replicate that exactly:
🖐 Finger (Make 4 per hand)
Use skin tone yarn.
- R1: MR, 5 sc (5)
- R2–3: sc around (5)
- FO, leave a long tail.
➡️ Do not stuff or stuff very lightly. You want them to stay flexible to curl into a fist. Weave the tail through to help curve it slightly.
👍 Thumb (Make 1 per hand)
- R1: MR, 4 sc (4)
- R2: sc around (4)
- FO, leave a long tail.
This piece is shorter and placed on the side of the palm.
✊ Palm / Hand Base

- R2: inc around (12)
- R3: (sc, inc) x6 (18)
- R4–5: sc around (18)
- FO and leave tail for attaching to the arm.
🧷 Assembly Fingers
- Arrange 4 fingers in a curved row to resemble a curled fist.
- Use the long tails to tack them onto the top front half of the palm, side by side.
- Curve them inward slightly and stitch in place, one by one.
- Attach the thumb on the side of the palm, curling slightly upward and inward as in a classic cartoon fist.
- Lightly stuff the palm if needed and sew the whole hand securely to the arm.
🛠 Tips for Shaping
- You can lightly block or bend the fingers before attaching to give a more lifelike pose.
- For extra curl, run the yarn tail through the finger and pull slightly to curve it before stitching.
- Use invisible or whip stitch for finger-to-palm joining so the seam disappears.
