Using this as a basic boy doll pattern to make toys for my grandsons in their current favorite themes, astronaut and The Flash :0)

Jojo has named his astronaut ‘Rocket Boy’ :0) It is now his favorite toy and goes everywhere with him. Guessing it won’t be white for long!

This is such a versatile pattern. It could be made to look like so many things - I did improvise the helmets and the backpack, but otherwise it’s crocheted according to the pattern with just color changes to create the costumes. I did devise a way (which I no longer remember exactly) of working the feet in a no-sew fashion. Wish I’d taken notes, but I’ll just have to re-invent it when I make the pattern again. I also added a curler tube into the body and head to give the neck extra strength since it’s so thin - an idea borrowed from the Lola doll pattern by MagdaLaine.
