● Note:
Change the color of yarn, before making the next stitch of round 35.
How to change the color of yarn:
With the two loops from the previous yarn on the hook (fig 8), wrap the new yarn around the
hook, pull the new yarn through the two loops of the stitch (fig 9).
35- 18 sc, 1 inc, 23 sc, 1 inc, 5 sc 50
36- 3 sc, skip 10 stitches (left arm), insert your hook in next
stitch(fig 10) and crochet 15 sc, skip next 10 stitches (right arm), 12 sc (fig 11)

45- Change the color of yarn: 30 sc around 30
46- 28 sc around, then put your stitch marker here. This will be the new beginning (fig 14).
Stuff the neck and body firmly.
Don’t cut the yarn, we continue to make the legs.
LEGS;
First, make the left leg: crochet 14 sc (round 47). Leave 16 stitches, then insert your hook in the
very first stitch of left leg for the next round (round 48) (fig 21).
Continue with the pattern. Stuff as you go.
ROUND PATTERN #st
47-62- 14 sc around, 16 rounds 14

The changing of yarn will be on the inside of leg.14
64-68- 14 sc around, 5 rounds 14
69- (1 dec) x7 7
How to close the end of the round: with a darning needle, insert the remaining yarn through all
the front loops of the stitches on the last round (fig 18). Pull all the loops together at once and
sew to hide the yarn inside the part you are working on (fig 19)
Right leg:
Lay the doll facing in front of you.
Leave a long tail of yarn to close the gap between legs later.
From the right leg’s first round, count 1 stitches away on both sides, then insert your hook
across both stitches (fig 20) and make a slip stitch. On that same stitch, crochet the first sc of
right leg, then continue the pattern (fig 21, 22).
ARMS
Lay the doll upside down facing away from you (fig 23). Insert your hook across the first and the
last stitch and pick up the yarn (fig 24, 25). Make a slip stitch, insert your hook again in the
same stitch and crochet a sc. It will be the first stitch of left arm. Follow the pattern below:
ROUND PATTERN #st
1-12- 10 sc around, 12 rounds 10
13- 3 sc, change the color of yarn to white, BLO: 7 sc
The changing of yarn will be on the inside of arm.10

Right arm:
Lay the doll facing in front of you (fig 28). Insert the hook across two stitches and pull the yarn
through (fig 29). Make a slip stitch. Insert your hook again in the same stitch and make a first
stitch of right arm. Follow the pattern.
Edging:
Lay you doll upside down facing away from you (fig 23). Find the round 34. Skip 4 loops from
end of round (fig 31). Pick up the pink yarn and pull it through. Make a slip stitch in each loop (fig 32).
HAIR
I used soft wool yarn.
Cut about 60+ pieces of yarn 50-60 cm long.
Of course, you can choose any length you like.
Mark the positions (Rounds 1-7 of the head), where the hair will be attached using pins (fig 31).
We are going to attach yarn in each stitch on the front side of head and across one stitch on
the corners and back side of head on rounds 3,4 and 5.
Fold the yarn piece in halves.
– Starting from round 1, insert your hook and grab the yarn (fig 37).
– Draw up a loop (fig 38), then insert your hook to the next stitch and through that loop (fig 39), pick up another yarn and pull it through.
Take the first yarn and pull it tight to hide the loop (fig 40, 41, 42).
How to fasten hair: pick up the one piece of hair and pull it into the loop. Take the another
piece of hair and pull it tight to hide the loop.
