    Hi Nyawira, it’s about 20 cm, but it depends on hook size and yarn thickness.

      It can stay on it’s own if you insert a wire carcass inside the doll.

    How can I get a paper copy of the free pattern for the ballerina. This is adorable, and perfect for my little ballerina grand daughter. I just don’t have access to a computer all the time for following the pattern on line, and am old school for paper patterns – ha ha. Thank you.

    I am having trouble joining legs even after making ch. and joining second leg with single crochet. No matter what I do, both legs do not face in same direction. Please help me. I am making this doll for my 3 1/2 year grand daughter who just started belle classes.

      I finally did the legs together a different way. One is a slight longer than the other but needed to get it done. All else is going ok.
