Insert safety eyes between R9 and R10, about 7 stitches apart. NOTE: you will want the eyes on the opposite side of the head from where the rows start. This way the color changes are not on the front of the doll.

Begin stuffing head to medium firmness.

Do not tie off. Continue to Body.

R2 – *sc, inc* x6 (18 sts)
R3 – *sc 2, inc* x6 (24 sts)

Sew to bottom of body (stuffing before you finish), inside the last row of the skirt. Use the tail from the beginning to tug the center up into the body so it’s a flat bottom.

R2 – turn, *sc, ch 1* x14
R3 – turn, *sc in gap, ch 1* x13, sc in last stitch

Hair

In Orange Yarn, ch 31, turn *sc 2, sc 1* x15, tie off
Make 16

To attach hair, first sew 10 of the spirals evenly along the head like a wig cap, giving her a middle part. I sew the tail straight through the curl so it doesn’t lose its “curliness” and tack down the curl at both ends. I have a video description on my Story Highlights on Instagram (@thecrochetqueendesigns). Then add 3 spirals to each side of her head as a second layer to create her iconic poofs.

Sleeves

In Olive Green Yarn, ch 2, sc 5 in second ch from hook

R1 – sc in each sc (5 sts)
R2 – inc x2, sc x3 (7 sts)

Make 2

Arms

In Cream Yarn, ch 2, sc 4 in second ch from hook

R1-2 – sc in each sc (4 sts per row) TIE OFF
Make 2

Sew arms inside of sleeves so the ends pop out like hands. Then attach the arms to the sides of the body.
