Eye (make 2):
The eyes will be most beautiful in joined rounds, Crochet in joined rounds (join each
round with a slst and chain 1), but continuous rounds as well.
If the eyes should be crocheted with thicker or thinner yarn than the rest of the doll,
they must be adapted if necessary.

Embroider one or two highlights with white.

Don’t fasten off. Insert hook in a stitch of part 1 (first round is pointing you) and pull

you can crochet one more round each for part 1 and 2 and then sew both parts
together):

For the handle of the pacifier, crochet a sufficiently long chain with the same color
and go back with slip stitches or single crochet stitches, fasten off, leave a long tail

for sewing. Now sew the handle to the pacifier (both ends opposite each other at the
edge).
If you like, you can also crochet a chain for the pacifier, just like the handle before, of
course in sufficient length to reach around the neck. Then thread the chain through
the handle of the pacifier, place it around the neck and sew the ends together.
Now the cap is still missing, here you can either use the caps from the previous
versions of the doll ( can be found here: https://www.zhaya.de/dolls.html) or this
version:
Cap:
Clothing color
Since I have no idea how to increase alternating front and back post double crochet
stitches, I crocheted the increase phase only with front post double crochet stitches.
If you know if and how this works, you can of course crochet one front and one back
alternately right from the start.
The size of the cap may have to be adapted to the size of the head.
1. dc 12 in MR (12)
From here it continues with front post double crochet stitches.
2. fpdc 2 in each st around (24)
3. (fpdc 1, inc) x12 (36)
4. (fpdc 2, inc) x12 (48)
5. (fpdc 3, inc) x12 (60)
If you need more increases, because your doll head is bigger, just keep increasing in
this way.
6. (fpdc 1, bpdc 1) x30 (60)
Again, it may be necessary to adapt the size, so just crochet more or less rounds.
Finally crochet a round of single crochet stitches
Fasten off, leave a long tail for sewing.
Finishing:
The doll is already nearly finished, if you haven’t already done so, pin the eyes in
position and sew them on carefully (always use the respective color for sewing on,
then you won’t see any seam), possibly embroider eyebrows with black. Now put on
the cap and sew all around.
