Paisley the Princess Doll
Free Crochet Pattern
Get ready for some fun crocheting! Paisley is a medium-hard crochet pattern, specifically for experienced crocheters. For this pattern, I mostly used back loop only stitches, so that the rounds would be visible.
All girls will absolutely adore this wonderful doll. She has the cutest accessories, making her prettier than most dolls we have on this site!

*Note: Stuff the leg as you crochet it up, or else it will be extremely difficult to stuff it when it is finished.

This is the back of the head, with the crocheted braided chain stitches. Now, I will crochet the head onto the body.

I have completed eight rounds so far!
Here is the skirt after twelve rounds! All I have to do now is line it with dark blue yarn, and crochet it onto the body of the doll using slip stitch.
This is the completed skirt! Now, all that's left is her arms and sleeves!

Do this on half of the arm (three stitches)

Now attach the arm to the body using slst
Repeat this part of the pattern to crochet the second arm
This is the first arm, attached with slip stitch. I will follow the same instructions to make the next arm.
She looks great already! I have finished both of her arms. All that is left is the easy ruffle sleeves with lining. You're almost done!
SLEEVES:

Now end the sleeves, and crochet them onto the body using slst
Congrats! If you've made it this far, the crocheting part is over. Now, all that's left to do is make the facial features by using safety eyes (or googly eyes colored in with sharpie) and a pink marker.
FACE:
I used safety eyes and a pink marker to make eyes and rosy cheeks
Here is her face!
PAISLEY'S ACCESSORIES:
Paisley's Necklace
To make this necklace, I simply took a piece of yellow yarn and tied knots in it each an equal amount of spaces apart.
To make these flowers into a crown, I alternated colors and used hot glue to paste them onto her head. Click here for their pattern.
Paisley's Bow
To make this, all I did was crochet ten chain stitches, and tied them in a bow.
