Pretty in Purple 24” Doll

All struggles aside, I am delighted with this doll.


Visual to provide perspective on the dress length. If made with length as written, it would come to the folded up line (too short).

DK yarn:
Doll head, entire body, (including hands) and feet (not socks) used about 550y, 200 g.
Hair used 175 y, 80 g.

18.0 mm eyes

Fingers: Directions need to state how to connect the fingers. See Comment #3.
