Assembly:
1. Mark with pins the hair line.
2. Take the yarn you’ve chosen for hair. Cut the yarn into pieces (each piece is equal to double length of hair). Fold the piece in half and draw its center through the stitch of the head with your hook. Pick up 2 strands, draw them through the loop and tighten. Attach all other pieces in the same way, then trim the hair.
3. Embroider nose and lashes.
4. Crochet a beige edge of the sole, using the front loops of Rnd 5 of the leg: sl st in next 54 st.
5. Make shoe lacing using tapestry needle and beige yarn.
6. Insert the neck joint in the head. Now your crochet doll can turn its head from side to side.
7. Tint cheeks with rouge or soft pastel.

Do I need much thicker yarn for hair,please?
Yes, it’s better to use thicker yarn for hair.
Hi, I’m having real problems with hair – everything else great. Do I need much thicker yarn for hair? And could you show pic of where hairline should be, please? I’ve used same thickness of wool for hair as for making doll, & it just looks so very wrong.
Hi, Im having some trouble with the coat, it seems to be too big, and the arm has only 13 stitches but it says start with 18 stitches.
teşekkürler
harika bir bebek oldu sayenizde:)
Yes, the dollcan stand on her own.
Hi there, beautiful pattern! Do you have suggestions for what yarn to buy for the hair?
hola, acabo de suscribirme y tus patrones son hermosos.
puedo imprimir para trabajar? como lo hago? me gusto la muñeca Kelly
Hello!
I hate to bother you, but I have a question. I know I am not allowed to distribute the pattern or sell it, but would I be allowed to sell the doll at a craft show? If not, I understand 100 percent.
Thank you!
Hi 🙂 Yes, you can sell finished dolls, but not more than 50 items per month.
I have just downloaded the beautiful Kelly doll pattern. Can you please explain more about the hair. Is it special wool or do you have to twist it to make it the same as on the pattern?
Thank you
Thank you for your lovely patterns, I have made many of them. For this lovely doll pattern, I am confused about how the head is attached. It is written that the head can turn from side to side, but no instructions on how to achieve this and have the head secured to the body.
Cheers Maggie
hello, i’d like to know what are the final measures of the doll
hi i cant get round 7 of the arm to have correct stitch count, i start with 14 stiches from round 6 and follow instructions until the end of the part where it says x2 but there are no stitches left for the 3 sc at the end, i cant make the 21 stitches required
sorry, i miss read the hdc, thanks anyway x
Bonjour. Je crois qu’il y a des erreurs à partir du rang 7 de la robe. J’ai bien les 36 mailles au rang précédent mais je n’arrive pas à obtenir le bon nombre de ms pour les rangs suivants. D’avance merci. Nadine
Beautiful doll! What keeps her head on?
Hi. This is a very nice doll. Can it stand on its own?

Hi can you rec the best craft wire for her pls

I don’t understand sleeves
You say 18 sets but the arm hole is only 13 st
Hola!! No entiendo muy bien como se hace el cuello, concretamente cuando dice cc en cada punto….
Hello, please could u explain more how insert the head?
Hi! Just put the head on the neck joint 🙂
How do you get the head from bopping around?
Hi dear, I have a question, I can not understand the first two sentences about arm. what do you mean by working around foundation chain? do you mean make a circle? and what do you mean by “turn” in Rnd1? Could you explain please , I am confused.
thanks in advance.
Please crochet in continuous rounds, working around the foundation chain. Hope this picture will help you https://amigurumi.today/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Screenshot_21.png

Cute Doll and nice crochet work. Thank you for the patten can not wait to make it….:)
Such a beautiful and easy pattern .
I made a beautiful kelly doll .
Thank you so much !
Can I have more such dolls ?
I just downloaded the pattern, thanks for making it available! I’d like to make this much larger. Would using a large hook do it and perhaps bulky yarn? Suggestions?
Thanks, Alex
If you you use bigger hook and thicker yarn, the doll will be bigger as well.
bonjour je viens de la réaliser comment faire pour vous envoyer la photo
I don’t understand hand = Round 9
