A crochet pattern of the King himself - Elvis Presley!

I have designed this pattern to be manageable at an advanced beginner/intermediate level. To complete it you will need to be able to make a magic ring, chain, single crochet, half double crochet, double crochet, work into front or back loops, increase, decrease, surface crochet and have basic sewing skills. The pattern contains full step-by-step instructions, tips and photographs as a guide. You will find many useful tutorials online if you are unfamiliar with any of the stitches. The finished doll is approximately 11 inches (28 cms) tall.

MATERIALS NEEDED:

  1. Double knit yarn in black, white, red, blue and skin colour
  2. 3mm crochet hook
  3. Wool/tapestry sewing needle
  4. Pins and stitch markers
  5. Toy stuffing
  6. 2 x 8mm black safety eyes
  7. Red trim (optional)
