This doll has 2 designs, both of them consist of the main body, facial features, and the accessories. They share basically the same crocheting method.

Note:

This pattern is making in Chinese crochet pattern terms, and the stitch name is written using American terminology. All measurements in charts are in cm.

When crocheting in rounds without further guidance, working in closed rounds, start each round with a set number of beginning chains and close with a slip stitch. The beginning chain preceding a single crochet and the slip stitch used for joining rounds are not included in the total stitches.

Material:Susan's Family Handcrafted No.2 Knit Thread 4-Ply Combed Cotton & Acrylic Fibre Hand Knitting Yarn
Hook:2.5mm crochet hook

The handcrafted measurements may have an error of 1 to 2cm. Due to variations in individual tension, the size of the sample is for reference only.
