I have decided to re-jig how I write my patterns to (hopefully) make them easier to read. I am assuming that most people reading this pattern will be reasonably experienced with pattern reading, but this should make sense even if you are not. If you are confused by any parts of this pattern please leave a comment below and I will try to clarify things for you :)
Difficulty:
Medium - difficult
You will need:
- dk yarn in peach (or a suitable skin colour), dark brown, and purple
- 4ply yarn in black and white
- Embroidery thread in white, black, green, turquoise, dark pink, red and cream
- 4 white 8mm buttons
- 9 black 9mm buttons
- 10 black 4mm pearl beads
- Toy stuffing
- A darning needle (or similar)
- An embroidery needle
- A regular sewing needle (preferably long and thin)
- Black card
- Sellotape
- dark brown sewing thread
- A very small section of black cotton/ polyester fabric (by very small I mean 2.5 x 3cm)
- Fray check glue (optional)
- PVA glue
- Two thin knitting needles
- A saucepan and kettle
- A pet brush
Note:
- To make my patterns easier to read, in most cases instead f writing'sc in the next ... sts' I have just written 'sc...' Eg. 'sc12' means 'sc in the next 12 sts'
- 'fasten off neatly' refers to a special way of fastening off which is neater and makes it easier to see where you should be crocheting on the next round (also known as invisible fastening off). This involves pulling up your yarn through your stitch, threading the yarn underneath the second stitch from where you pulled your yarn up, then threading your yarn back through the top of this stitch and down through the back of the work. There is a very helpful site that explains it clearly found here. Just make sure when you do this that you thread your needle through the SECOND stitch after the last stitch you made, otherwise you will end up with an extra stitch which may mean that all of the following rounds are out of line with each other.
- This pattern includes the back-to-front single crochet stitch (bfsc). A video to show you how to do this can be found here. It's pretty simple but if you can't work it out you can just use a regular single crochet stitch, but this will give it a slightly different look.
For every part of the body, unless specifies, use a 2.5mm hook and peach dk yarn

Fasten off neatly
Stuff the legs
Stuff the legs
For the arms (make 2):
Make a magic loop with 6sc
Round 1: sc in the first st, 2sc in the next st, rep to end (9sc)
Round 2: sc in each st
Round 3: sc in the first st, sc2tog, rep to end (6sc)
Rounds 4 - 6: (3 rounds) sc in each st
Round 7: 2sc in the first st, sc5 (7sc)
Place a stitch marker in between the two stitches you made in the first st
Rounds 8 - 9: (2 rounds) sc in each st
Round 10: sc3, 2sc in each of the next 2sts, sc2(9sc)
Round 11: sc4, sc2tog, sc2tog, 2sc (8sc)
Place a stitch marker in between the two stitches you made in the same stitch.
Round 12 - 16: (5 rounds) sc in each st
Round 17: sc4, 2sc in the next st, sc3 (9sc)
Fasten off neatly
Don't stuff yet
Press the arm and hand flat so that the stitch markers are on the edges
For the thumb:
Note: When you make the second hand make sure that it the reverse of the first hand (the thumb should be on different sides of the elbow)
Insert your hook through the post of one of the stitches in between rounds 2 and 3 (as shown below)(Note: the magic loop you made isn't counted when numbering the rows in the pattern above, so looking at your hand from the end your hook should be inserted between the 3rd and 4th circle).
Pull your yarn through, ch1, then make 2sc into where you first inserted your hook.
Ch1, then sc2tog through the 2 sts you just made.
Fasten off
Again make sure that when you make the thumb on the second hand it is on the opposite side of the hand to the first one you made, with respect to the elbow (the 2sc x2 and sc2tog x2 you did on rows 10 and 11)
For the fingers:
insert your hook through the post of the stitch between the magic loop and round 1 directly above where you made the thumb (as shown below)
pull the yarn through, ch1, then sc into where you inserted your hook. ch1, sc in this st you just made, ch1, sc in this next st you made.
Fasten off
Insert your hook into the spoke between the magic loop and the first row on the other edge of the hand (as shown below)
Pull yarn through, ch1, sc in where you inserted your hook, ch1, sc in this st you just made. Fasten off
You now need to make 2 more fingers in the same way as you made the first one, in between the two fingers you have already made. It doesn't particularly matter where you insert your hook for each st, as long as they end up both being in between the two existing stitches. This will mean you end up with a hand looking similar to the one below (Once you've sewn in the loose ends).
 |
After you have made the arms mark with either a scrap of yarn or a stitch marker the stitch on each arm directly above the thumb.
Stuff the arms gently, making sure not to over-stuff them

Sew the ears onto the head
 |
| Your ears will be smaller than those shown above (I revised the pattern after I took this picture but it still shows where they should be positioned) |
 |
| This image may also help with the placement of the ears |
Add eye sockets to the head by making repeated stitches either side of the nose.
 |
Embroider the whites of the eyes using two strands of white embroidery thread.
Embroider the irises using two strands of turquoise embroidery thread, then outline them using one strand of forest-green embroidery thread.
Add pupils using two strands of black embroidery thread
Add highlights to the eyes using one strand of white embroidery thread.
Add eyelids using peach 4ply (or dk, if you can't find any matching 4ply) yarn. The lower lids should be done with small, tight stitches, and the top lids should be done with longer, looser stitches.
Add eyelashes to the top lid using one strand of black embroidery thread.
For the mouth:
sew the mouth to the face using 2 strands of dark pink embroidery thread I did the outline first and then filled it in. You may also want to add highlights using a strand of a lighter pink embroidery thread if you mouth looks a little two-dimensional.
Sew the eyebrows to the face using the dark brown sewing thread. Sew them using repeated small stitches. Make sure they aren't too prominent - it is easier to add to them later than to make them smaller.
 |
| This is an example of eyebrows that are too prominent (you will be seeing these quite a bit since I didn't re-do them until after I'd added all the hair) |
 |
| Another copy of the reference above to help you with the eyebrows |
 |
| Try to make your eyebrows resemble the ones above/ below |
 |
For the hair:
cut the cardboard into a strip approx 17cm wide, and wrap the yarn around it approx. 53 times. Cut it at both ends to give you approx.106 strands of dark brown yarn the same length as the cardboard
Attach these to a knitting needle 2 at a time by folding the bundle of two in half and looping the yarn around the needle, then threading the loose ends through the looped end. You may need to use two knitting needles to allow the strands to be spread out.
Use a pet brush to brush out the yarn until it is smooth. Start at the ends and gradually work your way up until you have brushed all of the tangles out. It will be very fluffy.
To make it straighter boil a kettle full of hot water and empty it into a saucepan so that it fills right up to the top. Place the knitting needles with the yarn wefts on into the boiling water, then take them out and leave them to dry.
After you've done this take a paintbrush and some glue and apply glue to the top 0.5 - 0.75cm of all of the strands. Apply it to both sides all the way around, trying to get it into the middle if possible. Leave the glue to dry.
Once the glue is dry cut the top of the strands just underneath where they are/ were attached to the knitting needles so that you have 53 individual strands.
Next, you need to sew these to the head. Start by attaching the strands to the head just in front of the ear. Attach the strands to the head by sewing them on using a sewing needle and brown thread, and sewing over the glued section of each strand. Sew them so that they face downwards and the glued section is showing, then fold the strands back up to cover the glue.
Work your way from in front of the ears round to the top of the head, adding hair in the same way. After this, add the hair behind the ears and around the head to the back.
 |
| You may want to pin sections of the hair in place after you have sewn them on to keep them out of the way (Just make sure you don't keep the pins there for any extended periods of time since they can cause permanent creases to appear in the head.) |
 |
| Add hair behind the ears in the same way as you did before. |
 |
| The hairline should skirt around the ears |
 |
| continue adding hair around the edge of the head, always making sure that the loose end is on the inside (the hair will be scraped up over the top of the head so will hide the glue-y ends) |
After you have attached all of the hair strands, you need to start styling the hair. First pull all of the hair up so that it sticks up from the top of the head. Pin some of the hair at the back of the head in this position. Using small almost invisible stitches with the brown thread, try to sew the bottom 1/2 of the hair at the back of the hair in this position. Only sew only very small sections of hair at a time to try to keep the stitching invisible. It doesn't particularly matter if the hair isn't all sewn in place, it just needs to be enough that it holds its place without the pins.
Next, take a small section of hair at the front of the head and curl it over on itself, as shown below. Sew it in place.

Trace around this section onto black card, then trim the card slightly so that it fits just inside the crochet.
Take a section of card 1x5cm and roll it up tightly into a tube 1cm high. Secure with sellotape
Tape the cardboard heel section (the tube) one the end of the sole (a little bit in from the actual end though)
Place this heel inside the crocheted sole section.
Sew this sole/heel section to the underside of the boot
Sew a line of beads to the edge of each boot (to the right side from the right boot and the left side of the left boot) and then use these to fasten the boots by poking them through the holes in the stitching of the opposite side of the boot. I sewed five to each boot.
Do the same with the hair around the sides of the hair, particularly the strands in front of the ears.
 |
| The hair that is flat on the head in the image above needs to be sewn to the scalp using small almost-invisible stitches |
Repeat this for another section of hair slightly behind the first one
Continue in this way around the top of the head and top 1/2 of the back of the head with all of the strands that haven't been sewn down, as well as the ends of the ones that have. Each time you do this take a strand of the hair, curl it over into a loop, and then sewing it in place. Make sure you only take small-ish sections at a time, and try to focus the loops so that they centre around the centre/upper back section of the head.

Cut a small oval out of black cardboard (approx. 10mm in height and 8mm in width)
Cut a small section of black fabric (approx. 2.5cm x 3cm). Place the piece of cardboard in the centre of this and sew around the edge of where the cardboard is to mark its size
Inside this white circle use white/ cream embroidery thread to embroider the design below. It is up to you how detailed you want to make it.
After you are happy with your embroidery, remove the white stitches indicating the edge of where the embroidery should be.
Place the black oval inside the centre back of the black fabric. Use black thread to sew on the black fabric an oval approx. 4mm wider than the cardboard oval in the centre on all sides. Sew this using running stitch, leaving both ends of the thread free, and then pull the stitches tight so that the fabric tightens around the cardboard oval in the centre. Tie up the ends of the thread and eccure it usenig a sew stitches. Trim off some of the spare fabric at the back, making sure not to trim it too close to the stitching that it unravels.
After the glue has mostly dried, sew the button to one end of the neckband (the end that doesn't have the loose ends on)
If you think your doll is likely to get handled a lot add a dab of PVA or fray-check glue to the back of the button to stop it fraying.
