Notes:
This doll is worked in continuous rounds unless otherwise stated.
Buttons are considered a safety hazard, so keep that in mind if you are gifting this doll to a small child.
The stitching takes a long time; keep that in mind when working on this. I suggest doing it in small sections.
Chains do not count as stitches
