Round 31 (Joining): Crochet an extra 3 sc on the right leg to reach the inner side. Ch 3, join to the inner side of the left leg with a slip stitch. Crochet 14 sc around the left leg + 3 sc along one side of the chain + 14 sc around the right leg + 3 sc along the opposite side of the chain = 34 sc. This is the new starting point of your rounds (centered at the back of the doll).

Curly Hair (Wig) Crochet with the hair color yarn. Round 1: 6 sc in MR (6) Round 2: FLO 6 inc (12) Round 3: FLO (1 sc, 1 inc) * 6 (18) Now, we will attach hair strands to both the regular loops of this base and the remaining BLO loops left behind. Making the Hair Strands: For every single stitch across the wig base: Ch 45. Starting from the 2nd chain from your hook, work 2 hdc (or 2 sc) into each chain stitch. (This makes the hair curl naturally). Sl st into the next stitch of the wig base, and repeat the process by chaining 45 again. Repeat this for the entire wig base (including upper rows) to achieve thick, voluminous curly hair. Center the wig on the head and secure it in place with a few stitches using a sewing needle.
5. Multi-Layered Ruffled Skirt Attach your dress color yarn to the remaining FLO loops from Round 42 of the body. Layer 1 (Top Skirt): Make 3 dc in each FLO loop all the way to the end of the round. This forms the first top ruffle. Layer 2 (Bottom Skirt): Locate the body stitches directly underneath the top skirt (or pick up new loops from the inner side of the first layer) and work 1 round of mesh pattern: (1 dc, ch 1, skip 1 stitch). In the next round, work 3 dc into each mesh space to form the lower ruffle. This double-layer technique gives the dress its voluminous look. ???? Details and Face Shaping Dress Buttons: Embroider tiny vertical lines onto the white section of the chest using a colored yarn to create a button effect. Hair Clip (Flower): In a MR work: (ch 2, 2 dc, ch 2, 1 sl st). Repeat this 5 times to form a 5-petal mini flower. Sew it onto the hair. Face Details: Using black embroidery thread, stitch thin eyelashes on top of the eyes and add eyebrows. Using skin-colored yarn, make a small nose (2 stitches wide) just below the eyes. Softly shade the cheeks using blush or pastel dust.
