For crocheting, you will need yarn in three colors for the skirt, wig, striped blouse, and a skin-tone yarn. You can also use leftover yarn. Using YarnArt Jeans yarn, the doll comes out to be about 20 cm tall.

Finishing details:
- Fix the yarn at the skirt's waist (at the navel), make a CH, loop it over the neck, secure it in the same stitch, sew or glue the peach bow in place.
- Crochet a white scarf of about 150 CH, enough for two wraps and a knot (adjust the number of CH if necessary).
- Embroider the nose with 4 stitches between rounds 7 and 8, spanning 3-4 stitches.
- Eyes (I used 6mm) should be glued between rounds 9 and 10 with a 7-stitch gap. You can do indentations before attaching, pulling the thread into the shoulders. Slightly blush the cheeks. No smile is needed—let the child decide the doll's mood.
