NOTES: • Work in a continuous spiral unless otherwise stated. • Change your yarn always in the last step of the last stitch. • Stuff your doll as you go. I use a chopstick for that! • Use a stitch marker or a piece of yarn to mark the beginning of a round. • When you crochet spiral rounds, you do not have to turn your work. The doll is worked from the legs up. We are going to work in continuous rounds. Use a 2 mm crochet hook for the legs, body, head, and arms. Use a 2,5 mm crochet hook for the breeches and hat. Stuff the legs, body, and head, do not overstuff the arms.
