In answer to those who say they hate seaming, this doll is made in the round. The legs, body and head are one piece. Arms are knit in the round and jointed. There is almost no sewing Optional soft sculpture provides shaping to legs, arms and body. Hair is a wig cap made with fur stitch (explained in pattern) and will not pull out eliminating the need to sew strand after strand of yarn directly to the head. Clothes are also knit in the round.
