Notes

• Continuous Rounds: All sections are worked in continuous rounds unless otherwise stated. Use a stitch marker to keep track of the first stitch of each round.

• Tension: Maintain consistent tension to ensure the doll’s shape is uniform and to prevent gaps where stuffing might show.

• Stuffing: Add toy stuffing as you progress to ensure the doll maintains its form.

• Color Changes: When switching yarn colors, ensure the transition is smooth and secure.

Skill Level

• Intermediate: Requires familiarity with magic rings, increasing, decreasing, color changes, and sewing small pieces.

Materials

• Yarn: Cotton yarn in Skin Tone, Yellow, White, Blue, Light Blue, and Black (for eyes/stitching).

• Hook: 3.0 mm crochet hook.

• Tools: Sewing needle, stitch marker, scissors, two black beads (for eyes).

• Stuffing & Support: Toy stuffing and optional pipe cleaners or wire for limbs.

Measurements / Sizing

• Finished Size: The finished doll stands approximately 6 to 8 inches tall, depending on individual tension.

Gauge

• While a specific gauge is not strictly required, ensure your stitches are tight enough so that the stuffing does not show through the fabric.
