With Cream Yarn, ch 2, sc 6 in second ch from hook
R1 – inc in each sc (12 sts)
R2 – *sc, inc* x6 (18 sts)

R11 – *sc 2, dec* x6 (18 sts)
Insert safety eyes between R7 and R8, 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.
R12 – *sc, dec* x6 (12 sts)
R13 – *sc 2, dec* x3 (9 sts)
Do not tie off. Continue to Body.

With Red Yarn, ch 2, sc 6 into second ch from hook
R1 – inc in each sc (12 sts)
R2 – *sc, inc* x6 (18 sts)
R3 – *sc 2, inc* x6 (24 sts)
R4 – *sc 3, inc* x6 (30 sts)
TIE OFF and leave a tail long enough for sewing.
Stuff body to medium firmness, sew the base to the bottom of the skirt. Pull the tail from the beginning of the body base up through the middle of the dress so it dips inward. This makes it so the doll can stand on its own.
With Purple Yarn, ch 17
R1 – In second ch from hook, sc, then continue sc until end, ch 1, turn
R2 – *sc, ch 1* x16, turn
R3 – *sc in gap, ch 1* x16, turn
R4 – *sc in gap, ch 1* x15, sc, TIE OFF leaving a small tail for sewing.
To attach to body, sew ch row to body between R19 and R20.
For the hair you will be creating 4 pieces. 1 long front “bang piece” and 1 long back piece for the left side of the head then 2 short pieces for the right side of the head.
With Yellow Yarn ch 30
Turn *inc, sc* x10, sc 9 in last 9 sc. TIE OFF
With Yellow Yarn ch 30
Turn *inc, sc* x10, sc, sc, hdc, dc, triple crochet, triple crochet, dc, hdc, sc. TIE OFF
With Yellow Yarn ch 20
Turn *inc, sc* x5, sc 9 in last 9 sc. TIE OFF
I wait to sew these pieces on until after I attach the cape hood. You want the hair pieces to pop out the front to give the illusion that she has a full head of hair.
With Burgundy Yarn, ch 2, sc 6 in second ch from hook
R1 – inc in each sc (12 sts)
R2 – *sc, inc* x6 (18 sts)
R3 – *sc 2, inc* x6 (24 sts)

R5 – *sc 4, inc* x6 (36 sts)
R6 – sc 5, inc, *dc 5, inc* x4, sc 5, inc (42 sts)
Note: In R6 & 7, increase using sc for the first and last increases, and increase using dc for the middle 4 increases.
R7 – sc 6, inc, *dc 6, inc* x4, sc 6, inc (48 sts)
R8 – sc 8, dc 32, sc 8 (48 sts)
R9 – sc 8, dc 32, hdc, sl st. TIE OFF leaving long enough tail for sewing
To attach the hood sew the bottom of the hood (the side with only sc) to the base of the back of the head, then pull the yarn up through the middle of the head to tack the top of the hood down. I leave it fairly loose so it has a more natural hood shape.
With Burgundy Yarn, ch 7
R1 – Sc, ch1 x 6
R2 – Turn, sc, ch 1 x6
R3 – Turn, sc, ch 2 x6
R4 – Turn, sc, ch 2 x7

Sew the initial ch7 to the base of the back of the head, where you attached the bottom of the hood.
