Pattern is pretty straightforward. You will need to know the magoc circle/working in rounds, sincle crochet (sc), increasing and decreasing (inc, dec), slip stich (sl st), tying off, sewing on a zipper, and finishing off.

Goldenjellybean (GJB) has written and video tutorials to help you with every step of the pattern. She also has a video for making fingers (not written down).

F hook is used for most of the doll. E hook is used for the fingers.
