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 white edge of the sole, using the front loops of Rnd 5 of the leg: sl st in next 54 st.
5. Embroider shoelaces with white yarn.
6. Insert the neck joint in the head. Now your crochet doll can turn its head from side to side.

Hi, I’m new to amigurumi. I’m making this doll and want to know how much hair do I put on her?
Thank you, Donna
I noticed this is a slightly different Molly Doll pattern, is there any way to get a copy of the original pattern?
Hello. I noticed in the original pattern she is wearing a skirt. Is there a pattern available for this or can someone give me directions to make the skirt? It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
In the section where you make the bag, it says in round 1 to sc in the next 9 ch but you should really do it in the next 11 ch.
Suas bonecas são lindas, muito ricas em detalhes. Parece vivas, de tão bem feitas. Obrigada por compartilhar ideias tão lindas! Parabéns!!!
Muchas gracias por el patrón de crochet compartido.
I am busy with this doll at the moment..enjoying it…just a question…is the head loose from the neck? Can it be attached?
Many thanks
How do I connect the head to the body. Do you really mean to just leave the head loose?
Row 27 of upper body is 24 sts, row 28 is 24 sets, row 29 decreases and cannot still be 24. I’m gonna go ahead with the decrease and adjust count?
I guess I should do the outside stitches of the arms instead of the inside 5?
Round 29 is for outside of arms, front n back minus 4 sets = 24
The page says both Molly and Kelli are free patterns but when I try to download, it takes me to a pay page…?
Online versions of the patterns are free, pdf versions are paid.
For Denise: The Kelly doll has a jacket and hat that should fit Molly.
Made Molly this winter and now I have to wait for the little girl to grow into this doll! I also made her a crocheted blanket and plan on sewing an apron like skirt with a bow on the back. I gave her a toy stroller to push Molly around when she starts walking… Fun.
Hi. I am from Romania. I’m working on this doll right now, as a gift for my daughter. Can I post the picture of the finished product on my facebook account? I have a page on fb where I post my work, not so much for selling, but who knows. But I want to be sure I’m not violating any rules. Thanks.
Yes, you can post your own pictures. However, pattern copying and distribution are not allowed.
Love, love, love the doll patterns!! Any chance of getting patterns for more clothing for the dolls? I would love to give this as a gift that included different clothing items.
Köszönöm Molly baba mintáját. 🙂
Do you have a more detailed picture of how to cover the head with hair.
Thanking you.
Thank you for the pattern. I am having great fun making her. I don’t understand how the neck and head work. Are they sewn on? Any help will be appreciated. Beverly
Sewing is optional
Evidently I’ve missed something. When do you finish the top of the arms?

Question about the head and neck joint for the Molly doll. Does the head just sit on the neck joint and is tight enough not to fall off or do you still sew the head to the neck?
Soll heißen was bedeutet Gleichstrom
Ich liebe dieses Muster leider komme ich bei der Weste nicht weiter.Was bedeutet Gleichstrom in den nächsten maschen
hi, oops 🙂 I got it. thanks lol
Hi again, Also, if I have 24 at the end of rnd 27 if I dec in rnd 29 I will not have 24 I will have 20. Which will make make rnd 30 incorrect as well. Am I reading the pattern incorrectly?

Hello. I have a question about the Molly doll. I’ll use” Yarnart jeans ” yarn. Yarnart works mainly with numbers. My question is which number is used for the color of the skin.
Hi 🙂 This is 07 color
Hello I love your patterns. I started the Molly Doll however it was the previous pattern with the winter hat. I was wondering if there was a way to get the hat pattern?
Thank you so much for this pattern for us to make. I have already made this doll but I would love to make one twice the size that this out came out tobe so my question is I would love to make this doll a bit larger how would you recommend on doing that using the same size yarn and hook size how many more stitches do I need to add to each row make it larger? Thank you and have a wonderful blessed day
PS I am new at crocheting I have not figured it out yet lol
You can use thicker yarn or work with two strands of your current yarn.
Any suggestions on how to make the hair?
