Notes
This pattern is worked in the round, you may want to use stitch markers to mark the start of each round.
Legs will be joined using crochet so don’t tie off the last leg and continue working. You’ll work all the way up the body to the head so the only parts you’ll need to sew on are the arms and hair.
There are no specific instructions for when to add stuffing, just do this as you go along.
Let’s Begin
Legs, make 2 but don’t fasten off the second leg.
Start with PINK
1. SC 6 in a magic ring (6)
2. INC in each stitch (12)
Switch to WHITE
3. SC in each stitch in BLO (12), this creates the base of the shoe

We are now going to join both legs together using crochet rather than sewing. Both legs should face forward so that the feet are pointing away from you. You’ll want to start this next part on the left hand side of the right leg. If you haven’t finished here just add some SC so that you are where you need to be.

This will now create the fringe shape to the hair.
10. HDC 22, SC 20
11. HDC 22, SC 19, SS tie off and you can leave this thread long to sew the hair piece onto the head.
Hair strands
CH 25, turn, 2 SC in each stitch all the way to the end, tie off and attach to the hair piece.
The hair strands can all be different lengths if you’d like. I made 24 hair strands in total. Some had slightly different lengths by adding or removing up to 4 chains. I used the shorter ones on the edges of the hair piece. The more you make the more full her hair will be so how many you make is totally up to you.
Once all your hair strands are attached you can then add the headband and attach the finished hair piece to the head of the doll, and you’re done.
