Handles (make 2)

The handles will be crocheted, so we leave the tails of the threads short, fasten and cut.

We leave a small thread, stuff the head tightly, carefully fill the hole at the crown, fasten the thread and cut it off.
Ears
Important! We do all the embroidery on the face at this stage. We fasten the threads as imperceptibly as possible to the back of the head of the doll’s head. We’ll cover it with hair later.
We crochet the ears with body yarn in a spiral. Do not stuff.
1. 6 sc in MR (6)
2. sc, inc, 2 sc, inc, sc (8)
3. [3 sc, inc]*2 times (10)

7. 8 sc (8)
8. [2 sc, dec]*2 times (6)
9. 6 sc (6)
10. [sc, dec]*2 times (4)
Leave the thread long enough. Carefully pour the tip of the ear. We fix the thread and stitch the ear through, leading the thread to its base. We fix. Next, we fix the ears with pins and sew them to the head. The same thread can be used to embroider a nose or make eyelets. We hide all the tails at the crown, fasten, cut.
Hair
Hair is a rather time-consuming part of any doll. If you know an easier way, do it differently).
We make a chain of 26 ch. and crochet like this: [curl (make on 46 ch, from the second loop from the hook we crochet sc into each loop of the chain), sc] * 25 times.
In the last loop of the chain we crochet 3 curls and 3 sc alternately. We turn knitting and repeat the same on the other side to the end of the chain. It turns out something like a primitive wig.
We sew this creation first in the middle of the head, along the loops of our chain. And then we fix each curl separately. In fact, it is not as scary and not as long as it seems). If desired, you can tie an additional chain with curls (only one-sided) and make the doll a more magnificent hairstyle.
Skirt
We crochet the skirt from yarn of any light or delicate color.
We start knitting for FLO 42 rows of the body. Each row starts with 3 ch. lift and close the end of the row in a circle.
1. [dc, 2 dc in one loop] * crochet to the end of the row
2. [2 dc in one loop, 2 sc] * crochet to the end of the row
3-7. We knit the whole row with dc (only 5 rows)
8. Strapping: [sc, skip one loop, crochet an arch in the next loop (2 dc, ch, 2 dc), skip one loop] * repeat until the end of the row.
We knit the upper part of the skirt with the color of the dress. Mine will be green.

1. [dc, 2 dc in one loop] * knit to the end of the row
