Round 23: (7 sc, 1 dec) * 6 (48) Round 24: (6 sc, 1 dec) * 6 (42) Round 25: (5 sc, 1 dec) * 6 (36) Round 26: (4 sc, 1 dec) * 6 (30) -> Start stuffing with fiberfill.

Legs and Body We will crochet the legs separately first, then join them together to continue up into the body. Legs (Make 2 - Black and Skin Color) Start with black yarn for the boots: Round 1: 6 sc in MR (6) Round 2: 6 inc (12) Round 3: (1 sc, 1 inc) * 6 (18) Round 4: BLO: sc in each stitch around (18) Rounds 5-6: sc in each stitch around (18) Round 7: 3 sc, 4 dec, 7 sc (14) (This shapes the front of the boot) Rounds 8-13: sc in each stitch around (14) (6 rounds) Change to skin color (you can optionally work the first round in BLO to create a sock-trim later). Rounds 14-25: Using skin color, sc in each stitch around (14) (12 rounds) Fasten off the first leg. When you finish the second leg, do NOT cut the yarn. Body (Joining the Legs) Round 26: Chain 3 from the second leg and join it to the first leg with a single crochet. Crochet 14 sc around the first leg, 3 sc along one side of the chain, 14 sc around the second leg, and 3 sc along the opposite side of the chain. Total stitches: 34 sc. Rounds 27-32: sc in each stitch around (34) Change to black yarn (for the dress). Rounds 33-35: Using black, sc in each stitch around (34) Round 36: Decrease 1 stitch on each hip/side (32) Round 37: (6 sc, 1 dec) * 4 (28) Rounds 38-41: sc in each stitch around (28) Round 42: (5 sc, 1 dec) * 4 (24) Round 43: sc in each stitch around (24) Round 44: (2 sc, 1 dec) * 6 (18) Change back to skin color (for the neck). Rounds 45-47: Using skin color, sc in each stitch around (18). Fasten off and stuff the body firmly.
3. Dress Skirt (Black) Locate the FLO (front loops only) of Round 33 on the body where you transitioned to black yarn. Attach your black yarn to these loops: Round 1: inc in each stitch around (Double the stitches for a flared look) Rounds 2-12: sc in each stitch around until the skirt reaches your desired length. For a neat, slightly wavy finish, you can complete the final round using a reverse single crochet (crab stitch) or half double crochets. 4. Arms (Make 2) Start with skin color yarn: Round 1: 6 sc in MR (6) Round 2: (1 sc, 1 inc) * 3 (9) Rounds 3-6: sc in each stitch around (9) Change to black yarn (for the dress sleeves). Rounds 7-20: Using black, sc in each stitch around (9) Lightly stuff only the hand area; leave the upper part of the arm unstuffed so they lay flat against the body. Flatten the top opening and crochet it shut, leaving a long tail for sewing. 5. Hair and Braids (Black) For the hair base cap, follow the exact same pattern as the first 9 rounds of the head using black yarn. Bangs and Side Hair: Once the base cap is ready, slip stitch to a starting point and create individual hair strands by chaining (about 15-20 chains) and working single crochets back down the chain. Position and sew (or fabric glue) the cap and strands onto the head. Braids: Cut several long strands of black yarn (approx. 40 cm each). Attach them securely to both sides of the hair cap and braid them tightly to match the thick, neat look in the photo. Tie the ends securely with purple yarn to mimic the hair ties. ☂️ Accessories Purple Umbrella Round 1: 6 sc in MR Round 2: 6 inc (12) Round 3: (1 sc, 1 inc) * 6 (18) Round 4: (2 sc, 1 inc) * 6 (24) Continue expanding the circle by increasing the single crochets between each increase round (3sc, 1inc; 4sc, 1inc...) until it's wide enough. To get the ribbed look shown in the image, you can work the increase lines using BLO or front-post stitches to create raised ridges. Once the canopy is complete, insert your wire or plastic stick through the center. Secure it well and wrap the lower handle end with purple yarn, bending it slightly into a cane shape. Ice Cream Cone (Light Brown/Cream): Start with 4 sc in an MR and increase by just 1 or 2 stitches every round (e.g., 5 sc, 6 sc, 7 sc...) to form a long, narrow cone. Ice Cream Scoops (Purple): Start with 6 sc in an MR, increase to 12 sc, then 18 sc. Work a row of ruffles (e.g., 3 double crochets into a single FLO loop) to create the textured layers before stuffing and sewing it onto the cone.
???? Assembly and Face Shaping Head and Body: Sew the head securely onto the neck. To prevent the head from wobbling, you can insert a small plastic support joint, a hot glue stick, or a thick coated wire inside the neck before closing. Arms: Sew the arms to the sides of the body right below the neck line (around Round 43 or 44). Facial Features: Using black embroidery thread, sew delicate eyelashes on the outer corners of the eyes and thin, straight eyebrows slightly above. Embroider a small button nose right between the eyes using the skin-colored yarn. Using a bit of white yarn, embroider a tiny pointed collar shape at the base of the neck on the dress. Finishing Touches: Securely stitch or glue the umbrella and the ice cream cone into the doll's hands.
