This pattern is available for free.

These beautiful dolls compliment the other rag dolls I’ve designed. In keeping with that style, these dolls maintain my traditional flat, minimally stuffed and no-sew body construction. I walk you through all the embellishments - the hair, a video tutorial for embroidering the face, as well as pattern notes for crochet and sewn clothing items.

Supplies:
Worsted weight yarn for the body, hair, clothing – I used Dishie cotton
Contrasting yarn for the scarf – I used Wool of the Andes
3.5 mm crochet hook
4.5 mm crochet hook (for the shoes)
5.5 mm crochet hook (for the scarf)
Scissors
Needle for sewing down yarn tails
Stitch marker (or scrap of yarn) – optional
Poly-fil or stuffing of choice
Embroidery Floss
Needle for embroidery details
Optional scrap of fabric, needle, sewing thread and elastic for the dress and/or skirt
