I loved making this crochet doll pattern. I really like that you can change her clothes. The clothes work up really fast and that is my favorite thing about it.

I made Sophie’s Universe and it took 4 years. But I can make a dress in a day or two.

With​ ​one​ ​strand​ ​of​ ​embroidery​ ​thread,​ ​make the​ ​eyelashes​ ​and​ ​eyebrows.

Color on a piece of paper with the pastel pencil. Use a q-tip to pick up the dust and add color to the cheeks.

Sew​ ​the​ ​head​ ​to​ ​the​ ​body​ ​by​ ​first​ ​inserting the​ ​extra​ ​wire​ ​through​ ​the​ ​beginning​ ​magic ring.​ ​Then​ ​sew​ ​on​ ​the​ ​scalp​ ​part​ ​of​ ​the​ ​way, stuff​ ​the​ ​head,​ ​then​ ​finish​ ​sewing​ ​up​ ​the​ ​rest of​ ​the​ ​way.

Pull​ ​the​ ​hair​ ​through​ ​the​ ​loop.

Then​ ​tighten​ ​the​ ​knot.

You​ ​will​ ​be​ ​attaching​ ​hair​ ​in​ ​every​ ​st​ ​around the​ ​outside​ ​of​ ​the​ ​scalp​ ​and​ ​in​ ​every​ ​other​ ​st on​ ​the​ ​inside​ ​of​ ​the​ ​scalp.​ ​After​ ​you​ ​have attached​ ​the​ ​hair,​ ​make​ ​a​ ​part​ ​and​ ​attach more​ ​hair​ ​where​ ​it​ ​is​ ​needed.

And you’re done making your crochet doll!
