Copyright This pattern is for personal use only. It is prohibited to copy, translate or distribute, re-selling the pattern and the contents of this document in any way.

Note * Crochet the doll with tight stitches. * Each round is worked in a continuous spiral. Do not join rounds with slip stitch or turn unless stated otherwise. Use a stitch marker or a piece of yarn to mark the ending of the round. It’s highly recommended that you read through the pattern completely before beginning to crochet.

Materials & Tools * Crochet hook suitable with your yarns and a 0.5 - 0.75 mm bigger hook for the hair wig. * Yarn: Skin color Susan’s 07, light blue Susan’s 14, Dark blue Susan’s 44, Blue Susan’s 42, Red Susan’s 24, a little black Susan’s 21, a little green. * You can use the same pattern to make smaller or larger toy by using finer or bulkier yarn. * Safety eyes * I used sport yarn 160 m/ 50 g with hook size 2 mm and 9 mm safety eyes. If you use different yarn weights, you can choose your safety eyes with diameter approximate 2.5 single crochet stitches wide. * Sewing needle, scissor, fabric glue/hot glue, stitch markers, some pins. * Pink blush makeup powder or pink acrylic paint. * Soft wires (optional).

Some helpful tips and links

- X shape and V shape single crochet stitch: You might notice that my single crochet stitches are

slightly different than yours. I used yarn under single crochet stitch technique, here’s the link to the video: https://youtu.be/549rVGyZuuE

- Invisible single crochet decrease: the gap between 2 decrease stitch is smaller when you use

invisible decrease. Links to the video: https://youtu.be/n6s8mXTTmiU

- Hair strands: all my doll’s hair strands are made from a foundation chain. Look from the front you

will see each chain has a V shape with a left loop and a right loop, look behind, you will see a back bump. If I want the hair strands to look curly, I will crochet into the loops on the left of the chain only. If I want the hair strands straighter, I will crochet into the back bump only. In usual, all hair strands of my dolls are crocheted into the left loops. https://youtu.be/njo4R3lGDw8

- Wobbly head: the third arm is stuffed inside the neck will make the doll’s neck stronger, but it will

not make the head stable like using metal wires. You can use pipe cleaners (it’s pretty cheap and easy to buy at your local craft store). Make sure you cover the edges with yarn, then insert them in the third arm inside the neck. Video: https://youtu.be/__-aSJN9MG8

- Yarn: I used Yarnart Jeans and a China brand named Susan’s Family yarn. Here’s the link to the

color chart https://drive.google.com/file/d/15T1lXolADpdMzNyGhWrHX8ffSk9qnek-/edit

- Other skin tone yarn: I think the beige skin tone yarns are easy to find, but the skin tones like peach

or coral are harder to find. Big thanks to my previous buyers, they gave me a lot of color choices, here are some brands have peach or coral skin tone yarns (they are different yarn weights, please make sure you choose the right hook size): SCHEEPJES Catona 263, Catania from SCHACHENMAYR 263, Algodón Quesito from NORELI, ICE amigurumi, SINFONIA, RUBI super cotton, peach or coral color when you search for milk cotton yarn.
