Hello! I’d like to introduce you to this crochet pattern for creating a handmade doll female realistic body with a movable head, pose-able arms, and pose-able legs. The doll’s head is crocheted with a chin and nose, and the ears are crocheted separately. The finished doll is soft but has a wire framework inside, making it unsuitable for children under 3 years. It stands about 6 inches (15 cm) tall and is made using thin cotton thread, stuffed with polyester fiberfill.
This pattern is great because you can crochet the head separately, decorate it, and only then start crocheting the body.

This pattern is written for intermediate-level crocheters, but with attention to detail, even a beginner can complete the project.
Skills: you’ll need to know how to make magic ring, chain, turn chain, slip stitch, single crochet, increases and invisible decreases.
