Crafty Intentions CROCHET PATTERN Doll Body (printable PDF-file / 307 pages)

Developed by Megan Lapp aka Crafty Intentions, this pattern is for Doll Bodies! This pattern is written in U.S. terminology.

This pattern comes with instructions to make Doll Bodies!!

This complex pattern comes with instructions for 3 arm styles (Straight, jointed, and with an Elbow), 9 Leg options (Straight Legs, Jointed Legs, and Legs with knees along with Unshaped Feet, Flat Feet and Pointed Feet), three body styles (standing, sitting, or sitting with jointed hips) and a Hair cap for pieced in hair!! Everything you see in the photos is included in the pattern (and more).

This pattern also includes optional limb difference/limb loss options built-in to the instructions, and vitiligo colorwork.

Also included: A “Before you Begin” section with explanations and tips. A printable or screenshot-able “Doll Body Worksheet” where you can keep track of all the selected options you are using for your doll to help you plan.

All instructions are carefully depicted with words and photos! This pattern features clear step by step instruction with a lot of row-by-row photos. The gauge is not crucial to the pattern as long as the stitches are tight enough to hold stuffing.

This pattern is a total of 307 pages containing a full set of written instructions with photographic illustrations, and there are video tutorials for particular steps and stitches available on my YouTube channel. This Pattern consists of ONE PDF File, and the last 97 pages are Text-Only, Printer-Friendly instructions, but I strongly recommend you still refer to the photographic illustrations throughout the pattern if you have any questions.

This pattern is available in English.
