PATTERN
We’re going to join the legs with a round
of single crochet around both legs.
Pl ace the legs together, the feet pointing
toward you.
A great help is to join the legs with a
piece of (red) yarn first, so this way, the
legs stay in place while you make the
round of single crochet. Leave the piece
of yarn there, don’t take it off, it will help
to close the gap that forms when you
join the legs.
The l ast round of each leg has 15 single
crochet, so, when joining and crocheting
around the legs together, we will finish
having 30 single crochet.

So, let’s continue with the body and using
red yarn.

you think that your doll needs it.

Step by step instructions:

1. Insert hook.
2. Pull yarn through loop.

rounds 12 and 13 have 42 stitches each).
Add more hair if you desire.
