 Yarn: 1 or more colors. I used “Scheepjeswol” 100% wool in white and pink color. I recommended you to use wool yarns. Change of colors are only suggestions, you can choose your own color patterns.  Crochet hook in accordance with the yarn you use. I used a 2.5mm hook.  Stuffing: I use polyester wool and a chopstick to stuff the doll.  Tapestry needle, scissors.  Safety eyes 8.00 mm.  Stitch marker. I used thin black thread.  Black embroidery thread for the nose.

Attach the eyes to the head between rounds 18 and 19 with 10 stitches apart (fig 4). ● Note: to attach the eyes in the center of the head, skip 15 stitches from the beginning, then attach the first eye. Skip the next 10 stitches and attach the second eye. 2122-2324252627282930-

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 15). Pull all together at once and sew to hide the yarn inside the part you are working on. Please don’t cut the tail of yarn, we will use it later to connect the legs together.

Right leg: Make a long yarn tail for sewing a gap between legs later. Lay the doll facing in front of you. Insert your hook across both stitches and make a slip stitch (fig 16). On that same stitch crochet the first sc of the right leg then continue the pattern.
