Hi. I would love to make this cute doll for my great grand daughter, but I’m confused about round two of the leg. I am not sure about how to do the inc, starting with the increase on round 2 . Can you please help me out? Thank you
Hi Mary, just crochet 2 sc in second ch from hook.
Hello. If I want to make the size 40 cm how I make that??
Thank you
I am so happy find this, not difficult. easy understanding. Thank you so much.
Please help me! I didn’t understand where and how the legs should be sewn. A picture would be helpful. Thanks!
Can you tell me how to make sure the head stays upright as mine is so heavy it falls forward? I have also purchased another pattern and want to make sure if there is a better technique to have the doll sitting upright I can do it. I love the doll I made!
Hi Jenny 🙂 To strengthen the neck, insert 2-3 cotton swabs or round wooden stick in it (the upper part of the stick is in the head, and the bottom part is in the body). Add some fiberfill in the neck before you finish.
What is a magic ring?

I also have a granddaughter we call Lulu, her name us Lucia. She is five and ready to start kindergarten. My question is when we start the tunic do we hold the body upside down? If not then the wrong side appears to be showing. I am really enjoying working this pattern thank you for sharing it. :0)
Where do you find super fine acrylic yarn ? What brand ?
Super cute doll
Easy to follow tutorials, thanks.
We call my g-daughter Lulu so I plan on making her one for her birthday as part of her gift… Thank you for posting it!!!
