Crochet Doll Pattern

I always loved dolls, and now I enjoy making them even more. For those of you wanting to make your own, here's a simple pattern. Here at Dasha Dragon crafts, we'll be making all kinds of costumes for our dolls to wear. This summer our dolls will be going on an African safari, so stay tuned for upcoming doll clothes tutorials. 

Here's a PDF version of the pattern for your convenience.
