Abbreviations:

The pattern may include common crochet abbreviations such as:
- sc: single crochet
- dc: double crochet
- inc: increase
- dec: decrease
- st(s): stitch(es)
- ch: chain
- sl st: slip stitch

Start with the legs:
- Begin by creating a magic ring (or adjustable loop) to form the base of the leg.
- Work in sc (single crochet) around the ring for the required number of stitches to create the initial round.
- Continue working in the round without joining, using a stitch marker to mark the beginning of each round.
- As you move through the rounds, you’ll increase (inc) and decrease (dec) as needed to shape the leg.
Example (for one leg):
- Round 1: Make 6 sc in a magic ring (6 sts)
- Round 2: Inc in each st around (12 sts)
- Continue adding rounds, increasing and eventually working in sc to build the desired length of the leg.
Work the body:
- After completing both legs, you’ll join them and begin crocheting the body, working in rounds as you did for the legs.
- Typically, the body will involve a combination of inc and sc to form a cylindrical shape.
Example (continuing with body after legs):
- Round 1: Inc in each st around (24 sts)
- Round 2-6: Work sc in each st around (24 sts)
- Add dec rounds towards the end of the body to start shaping the torso.

Create the head:
- Begin the head in a similar way to the body, starting with a magic ring and increasing (inc) to form the base of the head.
- Use sc and inc to increase the size of the head, then work in sc to form the full round shape.
- If you are attaching safety eyes, be sure to insert them at the right point before finishing the head.
Example (for the head):
- Round 1: 6 sc in magic ring (6 sts)
- Round 2: Inc in each st around (12 sts)
- Continue increasing in rounds until the head reaches the desired size.
Add the face:
- Once the head is shaped, you can embroider the eyes, nose, and mouth if you prefer not to use safety eyes.
- You can add blush or other facial details with embroidery thread.
Work the hair:
- Attach the hair in the desired style. For crochet hair, you may work into the top of the head, or use a specific stitch to create hair strands.
- A basic method to add hair is to crochet multiple strands of yarn and attach them to the head.

Dress:
- Start the dress by crocheting a foundation chain that fits the doll’s body. Then, work in rounds or rows to form the shape of the dress.
- You can work in sc or dc depending on the texture of the dress you want to create.
- To shape the dress, you may need to use inc and dec in various rounds.
Example (for the dress):
- Round 1: Ch 16, join in a round.
- Round 2: Work sc around to form the base of the dress.
- Continue working around, increasing or decreasing to fit the doll’s body.
Boots:
- For the boots, start by working sc in the round and shaping with inc and dec to form the boot.
Example (for the boots):
- Round 1: 6 sc in a magic ring (6 sts)
- Round 2: Inc in each st around (12 sts)
- Work in rounds until you reach the desired height of the boot, then finish by decreasing (dec) to shape the top of the boot.
