Free Crochet Doll Pattern

I am so excited to make the Amelia doll a FREE pattern! I love making dolls. It is so exciting to make something from yarn that has so much personality and possibility! And the Amelia doll is a great size! She is about 9 inches tall and 4.5 inches wide. Amelia works up fairly quickly so she is a
great last minute gift or item for craft fairs. For Amelia, I recommend
using size 4 worsted weight yarn in whatever color you prefer. This
particular one used Stylecraft’s Special Chunky in Cream. The hair is
Lion Brands Silky Twist in chocolate. The dress is Red Heart’s with Love. There are so many different ways to customize this doll! Enjoy making her!

Round 2: SC INC in each stitch around (12)
Round 3: SC in first, SC INC in next. Repeat around. (18)
Round 4-18: SC in each stitch around. (18)

Fasten off.
Repeat for the second leg but do not fasten off. Instead, chain 3 and then SC in the next stitch of the other leg. Take care to crochet over the tail left over by fastening off. SC around the entire leg. When you come to the three chains, SC in each chain around the next leg. SC over the chain back to the other leg. In the last SC on the last chain place your stitch marker. (This is round 19.)
