Best friends just don’t come any better than this. Why doesn’t his mother realize that he hates maroon and would rather wear nothing than these moldy old dress robes?! Try both these looks on him when you make this flip figure!

This flip doll is an intermediate pattern for the crochet version of the hair due to the detail on the dress robes, but if you are open to learn, it is suitable for all ages! The step-by-step videos illustrate the little details for you.

If you want to make the wig-like version of the hair, this is an advanced pattern. Because of the use of a hot flat iron, it is not recommended for young children to make.
