Newborn Baby Doll PATTERN: Written Crochet Pattern
About a 14.5 head circumference, 14.5 inch torso circumference, and about 20 inches tall.

For sturdy results: 350 yards or so of #21 Nylon TWISTED CORD/TWINE (Nylon Seine Twine can be found online in many shops that sell fishing cord or construction twine). Try an eBay or Amazon search for “#21 Seine twine”.

An easier option: try an acrylic medium worsted weight
24 oz or more of Morning Glory Premium Fiberfill or Crafters Choice Polyester Fiberfill for dolls & bears (the type that packs firmly and is ‘dry’. The kind that remains fluffy and lightweight after stuffing will NOT provide you the intended results.
• A sturdy wooden dowel to assist with stuffing.
• A large yarn needle (metal kind works best with Nylon Cord).
• Size F/5 3.75 or E hook size, or size of your choice (aluminum works best for Nylon Cord)

Each pattern is worked in the round, and a stitch marker must be used.
