each round/row

b USEFUL TIPS
• The final size of the doll is about 20 – 22 cm, but it can vary,
depending on the yarn and the hook size used.
• Try to crochet tightly to avoid holes. Use a smaller hook than the one
recommended on the yarn label.
• Crochet in continuous spiral unless otherwise stated.
• Always mark the first stitch of each round (using a stitch marker or
leftover yarn) to avoid losing track of where the round begins.
• Stuff your doll as you go and stuff tightly to get the right shape.

o
• Change the color of yarn at the last step of the last stitch of the
previous color.
• Make invisible decrease to avoid gaps and holes in your work.
