Round 23 (Cheek Increases): 18 sc, (1 inc, 1 sc) * 3, 12 sc (space between the forehead/nose), (1 sc, 1 inc) * 3, 18 sc (66) Rounds 24-26: 1 sc in each stitch for 3 rounds (66) Round 27: (9 sc, 1 dec) * 6 (60) Round 28: (8 sc, 1 dec) * 6 (54) Round 29: (7 sc, 1 dec) * 6 (48) Round 30: (6 sc, 1 dec) * 6 (42) Round 31: (5 sc, 1 dec) * 6 (36) -> Start stuffing firmly with fiberfill.

Arms (Skin Color - Make 2) Round 1: 6 sc in Mr (6) Round 2: (1 sc, 1 inc) * 3 (9) Rounds 3-5: 1 sc in each stitch for 3 rounds (9) Round 6 (Thumb): 1 Popcorn stitch (3 half double crochets in the same stitch, joined together), 8 sc (9) Round 7: 1 dec, 7 sc (8) Rounds 8-26: 1 sc in each stitch for 19 rounds (8) Stuff very lightly (you can leave the upper section empty so that the arms rest naturally against the body when sewn). Flatten the opening and crochet the opposite stitches together with 4 sc. Fasten off, leaving a long tail.
3. Legs and Body (Skin Color) Since the doll wears loose, harem-style pants, we will crochet the legs in skin color and make the pants separately to be put on later. Legs (Make 2) Round 1: Ch 6, starting from the 2nd ch from hook: 4 sc, 3 sc in the last chain stitch (W), turn to work along the opposite side of the chain: 3 sc, 1 inc (12) Round 2: 1 inc, 3 sc, 3 inc, 3 sc, 2 inc (18) Round 3 (BLO): 18 sc Rounds 4-5: 1 sc in each stitch for 2 rounds (18) Round 6: 5 sc, 4 dec, 5 sc (14) Round 7: 5 sc, 2 dec, 5 sc (12) Rounds 8-28: 1 sc in each stitch for 21 rounds (12) Fasten off the first leg. After crocheting the second leg, DO NOT cut the yarn; we will continue to join the body.
Joining the Body Round 29: From the second leg, ch 3 and join to the inner side of the first leg with a sc. Crochet 12 sc around the first leg, 3 sc along one side of the chain, 12 sc around the second leg, and 3 sc along the other side of the chain (30) Rounds 30-35: 1 sc in each stitch for 6 rounds (30) Round 36: (4 sc, 1 inc) * 6 (36) Rounds 37-43: 1 sc in each stitch for 7 rounds (36) Round 44: (4 sc, 1 dec) * 6 (30) Rounds 45-48: 1 sc in each stitch for 4 rounds (30) Round 49: (3 sc, 1 dec) * 6 (24) Rounds 50-52: 1 sc in each stitch for 3 rounds (24) Round 53: (2 sc, 1 dec) * 6 (18) Round 54: (4 sc, 1 dec) * 3 (15) Rounds 55-57 (Neck): 1 sc in each stitch for 3 rounds (15). Fasten off. Stuff the body very firmly and remember to insert your wire frame into the neck section. ???? Clothes and Hair Design 4. Hair Base and Buns (Brown) Wig Base: Follow the same pattern as the head (starting with 6 sc in a Mr) and increase until you reach 60 sc. Then, crochet 8-9 rows straight to cover the back of the head. Bangs: When you reach the front part, do not cut the yarn. Chain various lengths (e.g., ch 12 and work half double crochets back down) to create side-swept hair strands as seen in the picture, and shape them while sewing onto the head. Buns (Make 2): 6 sc in Mr -> 12 sc -> 18 sc -> 24 sc -> 30 sc. Crochet 4 rows of 30 sc straight, then decrease (3 sc, 1 dec) down to 24 sc. Stuff them with fiberfill and sew them symmetrically onto both sides of the head. 5. White T-Shirt and Flowery Harem Pants T-Shirt (White) Worked from the top down (starting at the neckline). Ch 22 and join to form a ring. Raglan Dividers: Divide the stitches for Front, Sleeve, Back, Sleeve, and increase at the corners (e.g., 3 sc, 1 inc, 4 sc, 1 inc, 6 sc, 1 inc, 4 sc, 1 inc...). Skip the sleeve openings to form the armholes, join the body section, and crochet straight down for about 10 rows until you reach the doll's waistline.
Harem Pants (White) The pants in the image have a very baggy shape and are cinched at the ankles. Pant Legs (Make 2): Ch 20 and join into a ring. Crochet 3 rows of 20 sc. In the next row, increase in every stitch (40 sc) to create that voluminous, draped look. Crochet 40 sc straight for about 12 rows. Join the two pant legs at the crotch with a ch 2, then decrease as you work upward toward the waist (bringing the waist down to 30 sc). Tie a white yarn strand around the waist into a bow. ???? Mini Embellishments (Flowers and Bag) 6. Mini Flower Pattern (For Pants, Hair, and Bag) Using Yellow/Pink/Blue Yarn: In a magic ring, crochet: (ch 2, 2 double crochet, ch 2, 1 slip stitch). Repeat this 5 times to create a 5-petal mini flower. Sew a tiny center in a contrasting color (such as a French knot or a tiny magic ring with 5 sc). Reference to File 1000104032.jpg: As seen in the image, sew these flowers randomly onto the pants, at the base of the hair buns, and onto the bag, keeping a harmonious color scheme. 7. Flower Tote Bag (White and Orange) Body: Using white yarn, ch 15. Crochet around both sides of the chain to form an oval base, then crochet in continuous rounds for about 10 rows to build the bag. Strap: Attach orange yarn to one side of the bag, make a chain long enough to fit over the doll's shoulder (about 35-40 chains), and secure it to the other side. Embroider the flowers and green leaf stems onto the front.
???? Assembly and Finishing Touches Head and Body Assembly: Push the wire coming out of the body up into the head. Align the remaining 15 stitches of the neck with the 15 stitches at the bottom of the head and sew them together using an invisible mattress stitch. Add a bit more fiberfill before fully closing to prevent a wobbly head. Hair and Buns: Center the wig base on the head, pin it down, and sew it in place. Position the buns symmetrically on the sides of the head, stuff them with fiberfill, and sew them on. Arms: Sew the arms symmetrically onto row 52 of the body, just below the shoulder line, either before dressing the doll or keeping the t-shirt placement in mind. Face Details: Using black embroidery thread, embroider eyelashes on the outer edges of the eyes and a light, slightly slanted eyebrow. Using skin-colored yarn, make a small nose right between the eyes. Apply a little bit of makeup blush to the cheeks to give it that cute glow seen in the photo. Sandals: Crochet an oval sole with brown yarn that fits the foot, then add orange straps to form a flip-flop sandal shape, securing it to the foot. Keeping your stitches tight and distributing the fiberfill evenly at every step will help you perfectly recreate the lovely doll in "1000104032.jpg". Happy crocheting!
