This Doll pattern is an adaptation of the Simple Doll. It requires the Simple Doll instructions, as for some parts there was no need to repeat them.
The Tennis Doll requires a total of 128 yards (117 m) of skin colour, hair colour, and white yarns. To make the pleats of the skirt, I used front post stitches with a small adjustment: instead of inserting the hook around the stitch, I inserted the hook in the tops of the first two stitches, in a motion front to back resembling stitching with a needle.
To complement the Simple Doll, this pattern presents a suggestion for Hair and slight modifications for attire.
Enjoy!
PS: This pattern is a modest belated birthday gift for my cousin, Gabriela, a former pro tennis player.
