Stuff the foot firmly but not so much that the shape becomes distorted. The toes will point
upward slightly.
Also from this point on stuff the leg as you go. Be careful not to overstuff, later you will need to
work the wire frame down the center of the leg and stuffing
On the second leg continue with 16 more sc, or until you have
come to the inside of the leg

At this point make your wire frame. I took my wire and cut 21 inches of it, folded that in half.
About 81/2 inches bend wire at a 90 degree angle, go about 21/2 inches over now and bend
again to form the legs.
Cut 10 inches of wire now and fold in half, wrap one inch around the legs section.
Cut 30 inches of wire, fold in half. Now using an inch at the top of the body section fold it
around the arms.
Bend the arms of the frame into position and work them down the center of the arms. It can be
tricky now to crochet around the frame, just take your time
On this round be sure your arms are in the correct position, if after doing the first 14sc they are
not, adjust your starting point so that they are

Fasten off all loose ends and slide the sleeve onto the doll. You will now crochet while sleeve is
on the doll.
Attach yellow yarn to pants in any of the ch sp in the back. You should leave a long enough tail
that your not crocheting with to attach pant leg to legs
chain 3 (60)
Now go back to the tail you left when starting the ruffle and sew the pant leg to the body leg.
Using the blo of row one and the flo that was left from round 19 of the legs sew 4 back loops to
4 front loops, skip a front loop of leg and sew next 4 back loops to next 4 front loops, continue
in this pattern until you are all the way around. Cut and fasten off. Be careful not to sew on
crooked.

Yo, insert hook into stitch, yo, pull through stitch, yo pull through two loops on hook, now YO
IN OTHER COLOR, pull through last two loops on hook. Do the next stitches over the tail from
the precious color so it will be available to you when you need it next. This way you do not
have to cut the yarn every 3 stitches. Use this same concept for the next row, modified for sl st
and chain.

Now cut a strand of black yarn, attach it in between the two legs and run it straight up the
center of the body tying it off at the top of the bodysuit.
Attach the Pom poms to the bodysuit over the black line. The first pom pom should be placed
right under where the neck ruffle lays, then 4 rows between the next Pom pom and 4 rows
between the next.
Head using white yarn, 3.5mm hook, and working in rounds. Gage is 5 sts per inch, 5 rounds

Stuff as you go
If you wish to use the safety eye backs then you need to skip ahead and crochet the eyes first,
now place the safety eye inside the crochet eye portion and the eyes portion, after round 27 of
the head, stop and place the eyes. You need to place them between rounds 21 and 22, with 15
sts in between them. Be sure they are over the cheeks and the nose section you have marked,
and are centered between them.
If you are not using safety eye backs go ahead and crochet the head
Rnd 25: working in flo (inc) x6, now in both loops 35sc,

Now using the cherry red yarn take a long strand and separate the 4ply into 2ply. Using the
2ply strand of red
Sc evenly around the mouth and at row 4 (sc, ch 1, sc) in the same sp. this creates a point at
the mouth corners.
Now using white yarn, take a long strand and separate the 4ply into 2ply. Using the 2ply white,
embroider the teeth onto the mouth. Use photo to get
placement
Ch 36
Using cherry red yarn cut 8 inch strands, then separate the strand from 4ply to 2ply strands.
Loop the strands onto the hair cap around every stitch post on the cap and around the front
loops of the border sc stitches.
Go back to the head and using needle sculpting create a bridge to the nose. Where you have
the nose marked off go up one row and one stitch place outside of the nose, pull that to the
other side in the same place. Do this for a few rows in a straight line to create the bridge of the
nose.
Now sew on the nose at the bottom of the bridge between the cheeks. You can remove the
nose stitch markers now.
Sew on the eyes at a slight tilt above the cheeks where the corner of the eye will be at the
corner of the bridge you created. Don't forget to put one single line down at the bottom of the
eye. If you didn't use the backs now remove the safety eye and put super glue in the hole and
the safety eye back in. Sew on the triangles above each eye. Using black yarn, embroider
eyebrows onto the face
Sew on the mouth adding a line (I went over it 3 times) that goes from the corner to a
downward tilt.
Using the back loops from the boarder around the hair cap, sew hair onto the head, it will tilt so
that it is higher in the back then in the front.
Now brush the hair and trim where needed to achieve the desired look!!!
Now insert your wooden dowel into the body behind the wire frame. Leave about 6 inches
sticking out and place the head on. Making sure the head is straight, sew it to the body.
