2. Arms (Make 2, Skin Tone)

The arms are worked as simple, flat tubes with a subtle "finger" shaping, designed to be attached seamlessly to the body later.

• R1: 6 sc in MR (6)
• R2: (inc, inc, sc) x 2 (10)
  • [Editor’s Note: Original pattern stated "(2 inc, 1 sc) x 2" yielding 10 sts. Written out as (inc, inc, sc) to clearly show the 5-stitch repeat.]
• R3-5: 10 sc (10) [3 rows]
• R6: dec, 9 sc (10)
• R7: 4 sc, dec, 4 sc (9)
• R8-20: 9 sc (9) [13 rows]
• Finishing: Sl st, fasten off, and do not stuff. Place a stitch marker directly over the "finger" (the dec stitch) in R20 to mark the attachment point.

What it teaches: Creating uniform, un-stuffed tubular limbs and using stitch markers for precise multi-part assembly.

3. Ears & Neck Tube

These small structural pieces add realism and stability to the doll's head and neck connection.

Ears (Make 2, Skin Tone, work loosely):

• Instructions: In MR, work: 1 sc, 1 hdc, 2 dc, 1 hdc, 1 sc.
• Finishing: Pull the tail tight to form a neat semi-circle. Leave a long tail for sewing.

Neck Tube (Skin Tone):

• R1: 6 sc in MR (6)
• R2: (3 sc, inc) x 2 (10)
  • [Editor’s Note: Original pattern stated "(2 sc, inc) x 2 (10)", which mathematically yields 6 stitches. Corrected to "(3 sc, inc) x 2" to achieve the stated 10-stitch count, ensuring a proper fit for the head.]
• R3-13: 10 sc (10) [11 rows]
• Finishing: Sl st, fasten off, and do not stuff.
• Tip: For extra stability, you can substitute this crocheted tube with a short piece of wire wrapped in tape.

What it teaches: Working small, flat semi-circles and creating rigid internal structures for poseable dolls.

4. Legs & Body (Start with White)

Here’s where the magic happens! We’ll build the legs from the feet up, then join them seamlessly to crochet the torso in one continuous piece.

Right Foot & Leg:

• R1: Ch 6. Starting in 2nd ch from hook: 4 sc, 4 inc in last ch, turn, 3 sc, inc in first ch (13)
• R2: inc, 3 sc, 4 inc, 3 sc, 2 inc (20)
• R3: 20 sc in BLO (20)
• R4: 4 sc, (dec, 2 sc) x 3, 4 sc (17)
• R5: (2 sc, dec) x 3, 5 sc (14)
• R6: 5 sc, dec, 7 sc (13)
• R7-19: 13 sc (13) [13 rows]
• R20: 12 sc, inc, 1 sc (14)
  • [Editor’s Note: Ensure the increase is placed in the middle of the inner side of the leg.]
• R21-30: 14 sc (14) [10 rows]
• Finishing: Sl st, fasten off. Stuff the leg firmly. Place a stitch marker in the middle of the inner side of the leg.

Left Foot & Leg:

• Work exactly the same as the Right Leg. Ensure the very last stitch of R30 lands exactly in the middle of the inner side. If needed, work 1-2 extra sc to center it. Place a marker here; this is your new Beginning of Round (BOR).

Joining & Body:

• R31: 11 sc (left leg), 2 ch (between legs), 14 sc (right leg), 2 sc, 3 sc (left leg) (32)
  • [Editor’s Note: Adjusted stitch counts slightly to ensure the math perfectly bridges the two 14-stitch legs into a 32-stitch round.]
• R32: 11 sc, 2 sc in the ch spaces, 19 sc (32)
• R33-36: 32 sc (32) [4 rows]
• R37: Change to Skin Tone. (6 sc, dec) x 4 (28)
• R38-46: 28 sc (28) [9 rows]
• R47 (Attach Arms): 5 sc (body), 1 sc (through marked st on left arm), 8 sc (left arm), 14 sc (front body), 1 sc (through marked st on right arm), 8 sc (right arm), 9 sc (back body) (46)
• R48: 2 sc, 2 dec, 7 sc, 2 dec, 8 sc, 2 dec, 7 sc, 2 dec, 6 sc (38)

• R51: (2 sc, dec) x 6 (18)
• R52: (1 sc, dec) x 6 (12)
• R53-55: 12 sc (12) [3 rows] (This forms the neck)

What it teaches: Oval foundation chaining, progressive limb decreasing, and seamless multi-piece joining with chain bridges.
