This Jesus charity doll can be made in an afternoon and costs about 50 cents to make (if using worsted weight acrylic yarn). Perfect to donate to charities and churches. Great to give as gifts. This doll is the perfect size for a child’s hands.

This doll almost has no sewing (only to the back side of arms), and no weaving in ends (nearby ends are double knotted together and then
hidden inside of plush while sewing and stuffing)

Skill Level: Advanced beginner / Intermediate

Crafting time: 2.5-3 hours

Stitches used: Chain (ch), Slip stitch (sl st), single crochet (sc)

Note: You will need to know how to carry and single crochet around an extra strand of yarn for the colorwork sections of this doll.
