Head
Follow the Classic Doll Base pattern until Round 20. If you’re going to add safety eyes, you should have done so by this point. Refer to the pattern for information on placing the safety eyes.
Top
Follow the Classic T-Shirt pattern or another one of our patterns that’ll help you complete your doll’s top outfit.
Pants
Using the yarn color you want the pants to be:
- Sl st to the last stitch from the Top section. Ch 1, skip this ch and sc around, sl st to the first sc (16)
- Ch 1, skip this ch and sc around, sl st to the first sc (16)
- Ch 1, sc 5, skip the next 8 stitches, sc 3, sl st to the first sc (8). This is meant to split the torso into two sections, one for each leg. DO NOT FASTEN OFF
VERIFY YOUR COUNT:
You should now have divided the torso into two equal-sized holes for each leg. (8 stitches each)
4. – 7. [4 Rounds] Ch 1, sc 8, sl st to the first sc (8) Fasten off.
This completes the first pant leg.
Re-attach the yarn at the base of the torso next to the first leg and sc around. To close the gap between the union between the legs grab a random stitch from the middle of the first leg as well as both loops from the next stitch and work a single crochet. This completes the first round. Continue with steps 4-7 to complete the second pant leg.
Shoes
Switch to the yarn color that you want the shoes to be. Re-attach the yarn to the last stitch from the Pants section of whichever leg:
- Ch 1, sc 8, sl st to the first sc (8)
- Ch 1, sc 8, sl st to the first sc (8)
Fasten off leaving a 4 inch tail. Using your yarn needle go through the outer loop of each stitch and then pull the tail to close the opening. Hide the yarn end inside.
This completes the first leg and foot, repeat rounds 1 and 2 to complete the second leg and foot.
