Snowflake:

Crochet in a circle, like a doily. Since it won’t be stiff, you can add a special thread like "snowflake" yarn to the main yarn or starch it. The pattern is suitable for both left- and right-handed crocheters. Continue without cutting the yarn for the last row of the hat.

1. In MR, crochet 6 sc.
2. *1 sc, inc* repeat 3 times (9)

Finish off, leaving a tail for sewing.

2. 5 increases (10)
3. 3 increases, sc to the end of the row (13)
4. *2 dec, crochet in back loops only* repeat 3 times, sc to the end (10)
5. Rounds 5-8: 10 sc

Stuff the legs but not too firmly. Fasten off after round 8 of the first leg, then crochet the second leg and join them to form the body.

Assembly:

• To allow the arms to rotate, insert special joint rings.
• If you're simply sewing the arms, gather the open edge of each arm before attaching them.
• Attach the head to the body, sewing around the neck tightly.
• Secure the thread and hide the tail inside the body.

Use DMC floss for the facial features. For the doll, the yarn used is TLC Cotton Plus (beige) and Lion Brand Wool (white).
