Tissue development
Difficulty level: Basic/Intermediate. The project begins at the bottom, that is, at the legs, it is worked in a spiral, and there is no sewing of the legs or head since they are joined by crocheting.
Arms
Make two, in brown:
V1. 6 pm and am (6)
V2. (1aum, 1pb) x 3 (9)
V3-5. 9pb (9)
V6. 1dis, 7pb (8)
V7-12. 8pb (8)
Flatten the piece and make 3 single crochets, taking the stitches on each edge at the same time. Short thread leaves your arms waiting.
Legs
You must do two. When you finish the first leg, cut the thread and leave it waiting. When you finish the second, do not cut the thread, since you will start with the union of the legs, and then shape the body.
In orange:
(6) V2. 6aum (12) (12) V3. BLO 12pb V4. (1pb, 1aum) x 6 (18) V5-6. 18pb (18) Now we will begin joining the legs and the beginning of the body.
Union of legs and beginning of the body
To start with the first round, you must hook the crochet in any point of the first leg (preferably in the final points) and in that place make the first sc (leave it marked, since it will be the first stitch of the round), try apply tension in this first point to prevent a hole from forming, the same when you turn around and have to knit again the sc that joins the second leg in front (remember that the leg union always corresponds to the back of the doll ).
V1. 18 sc (from the 1st leg), 18 single crochet (from the (36) 2nd leg)
V2. (5pb, 1aum) x 6(42)

Make 4 chains, in the fourth ch from the crochet make 3dc unfinished and close them together, crochet 38ch and in the fourth chain from the crochet, make 3dc again without finishing closed together.
Finish with a dc, cut yarn.
Final details and assembly of parts
Place the arms on the sides of the doll, sew them to the last lap of the body in orange. With orange thread we will embroider the eyebrows and with white thread we will give light with a stitch around
the eyes In nude color we will embroider the nose. Place the hat on the head, so that 4 turns are visible from the eyes upwards that will correspond to the doll’s forehead, glue it or sew it according to your preference (the same with the
other parts). At the top, you must leave the stem and the leaf together. Finally, tie the chain strip around the neck, glue the flower to one side, put a little color on the cheeks for an extra dose of tenderness 🙂
