BODY
Row 1-chain 70, join with slip stitch
Chain one
Row 2-single in each single
Chain one, turn
You may want to mark your starting Row. You will be working in continuous rounds later.
Also, be very careful when you're doing your first round, it doesn't twist up on you.
Row 3-single in each single, join, do not turn
The next set of rows, you will be working in continuous rounds.
Row 4 thru 7-, single in each single around
Row 8-single decreases in every third stitch (or 3rd single), continue this around.
(Sequence goes like this: single, single, single decrease.)
Be sure to start each row with this sequence, regardless of how the sequence ends in each row.

Row 11 & 12-single in each single, chain one, turn
Row 13-5 single in each single, chain one, turn
Row 14 through Row 23-repeat Row 13
Attach Row 23 to the opposite side, with slip stitch across.

Be sure to leave the same number of stitches on either side of the opening.
Chain one, no turning

Row 27-repeat Row 26
Without tying or cutting off.
Slip stitch over to the other side of flap and repeat, Row 24 through 27.
(Not to worry, we will be turning this inside out. What you're creating here is like a sem, to sew the legs into place.)
Do not finish off. Pull a long loop, so it doesn't come unraveled.
At this point, you'll want to turn it inside out.
Attaching the legs
You can do this in several ways.
- 1. Finish off the opening, and sew the pieces in.
- 2. Slip stitch around, attaching the pieces.
- 3. Attach them together with a single crochet
Using option 2:
Take one of the legs and insert it into one of the openings.
You're going to attach with slip stitch, and slip stitch around the top row of the leg.
This will securely fasten the leg to the body.
(Be sure to keep them even and only doing through the top row of the leg. Otherwise, it will show through.)
Repeat for both legs.
(You can slip stitch over from one opening to the other. You are working on the inside of the doll so this will not be seen.
It is easier than cutting and restarting. This will be left up to your comfort level.)
Finish off
(You may feel a little awkward, crocheting this way however it's easier and it gives a better finished look than sewing pieces together from the outside.)
Attach (Gold) or contrasting color to the top portion of the body.
The best place to start is where the tail is. This would be your starting slip knot when you first created the original chain.
Attach with a slip stitch, from the inside shell of body, leaving tail inside.
Chain one, turn
(The next five rows will be continuous rounds)
Row 1 thru 4-single in each single around
Row 5-single in each single, Join with the slipped stitch attaching the previous Row

Create a fold out toward; this will create the belt.
This is what will give it a little bit more of a three-dimensional look.
When folded outward, three rows will be showing.
Belt loop-with same color as body (Navy)
Chain 9, leaving long tail on either side. Make 6
With an embroidery needle, insert just under the outside fold. Tieing it together on the inside.
Be sure to space them evenly around. This will also hold the fold in place, as well as adding detail to the project.
Top Portion of Body
Use: contrasting color (Lt. Blue)
Attach with slip stitch at your starting tail.
Be sure that when you're slip stitching around that you slipped stitch over the belt loops.
You are doing this inside the body, between the bottom color of body and the starting row of the belt color.
Row 1-slip stitch around, it is best to slip stitch around the post stitches. (This row is just creating an anchor row for the top portion of the body)
Join row with a slip stitch at the starting slip stitch

Stripe
(In this section; if for some reason you missed a few stitches, or have too many You could make any adjustments, just by making the stripes longer or shorter. Using line markers you can make the adjustments, simply by marking the starting and ending points of each stripe. Leave six stitches between. This is creating an opening for the arm attachment.)
From your slip stitch or starting stitch, (you should be working towards the back of the body)
Attach contrasting color with slip stitch (Navy)
