HAIR
R1: stitch 4sc in magic ring ch1 turn around
(Do not close the ring, chain one and continue stitching
backwards, as you would with the flat peace. We will be
crocheting the rows here. Every row finish with the chain1,
turn around, and continue stitching in the second stitch from

the hook.)
R2: 2sc in each st (8 sts) ch1 turn around
R3: *Sc 1, 2 sc in next st*, rep 4 times. (12sts) ch1 turn
around

R15: Sc 36
Ch1 and begin single crochet stitching to the side, toward the
top of the head, where magic ring and first row is started.
Reaching the magic ring we will start making bangs.
Slip stitch 1 in the magic ring, chain 10, and return back slip
stitching 9 at each stitch on the chain.
Slip stitch again to the magic ring, ch 10, return back slip
stitching to 9 stitches on the chain, slip stitch to the magic
ring, and repeat 3 more times, or until you create desired
number of the bangs. (in my case there are 5).

Finishing last peace of hair, single crochet to the working side

of the hair, and continue sc into each last row stitch (14 sts).
Reaching the end, tie off and leave long end for sewing the
hair on the head.
Here are few samples of what you can do. Some you could see
at presentations photo on the start of this post. Would have
been to much if I tried to write down each and every pattern
for different hair styles Ive done; but as I said, if you will
need any help, feel free to contact me and ask. Will be glad to
help you.
Hair we are making in this pattern is the one shown on the
first photo published here; look at the last doll in the line. One
with light brown hair (yellow and blue dress).
LEGS & BODY
Leg1:
R1: 6 Sc in magic ring (6)
R2: 2 sc in each st around (12)
R3: *2sc in one st, sc1* x6 (18)
R4: 18 sc
R5: Inv.dec6, sc6 (12)
R6: Inv.dec3, sc6 (9)
Stuff the bottom of the leg.

Change color of the thread and continue with R7.

R7-R16: 9 sc
Tie off and leave long end for sewing later. Stuff the leg.
Leg2:
R1: 6 Sc in magic ring (6)
R2: 2 sc in each st around (12)
R3: *2sc in one st, sc1* x6 (18)
R4: 18 sc
R5: Inv.dec6, sc6 (12)
R6: Inv.dec3, sc6 (9)
Stuff the bottom of the leg.
Change color of the thread and continue with R7.
R7-R16: 9 sc
At this point stuff the leg and bring both legs together.
R17: ch1, sc to the second last stitch on the next leg, sc7,
ch1, sc to next leg, leaving one stitch free. Sc8. (18)
Pull out the yarn from the first leg you left for sewing later,
through the gap between the legs. So it doesnt come to your
way while crocheting. You will use this yarn to sew this gap

after body is done and stuffed.

R18-25: 18 sc
R26: *Inv.dec.1, sc1* x6 (12)
R27-29: 12 sc
Tie off leaving long end for sewing the body to the head.
Stuff the body as firm as you can.
Now take the sewing needle and the yarn there is between the
legs (one you left from finishing the first leg) and sew the gap
nicely.
ARMS X2
R1: 6 sc in magic ring (6)
R2-6: 6 sc
Change color
R7-R9: 6sc
Tie of and leave long end for sewing the arms to the body.
DRESS
R1: 18 Sc in magic ring (18) (dont close the ring completely)
R2-R3: 18 sc

R4: *2sc in one st, sc next 2* x6 (24)

R5-R6: 24 sc
R7: *2sc in one st, sc next 3sts* x6 (30)
R8-R9: 30 sc
R10: *2sc in one st, sc next 4 sts* x6 (36)
R11: 36 sc
Change color
R12: *ch3, sc in next st* repeat all around
Tie off and hide ends.
Put the dress over the body and sew the body on the head.
Sew on the hair, and finally place and sew the arms (I find it
best if you leave 6 stitches looking in front of the dress,
between each arm). I also suggest to sew the arms on the
dress only. Not only it is easier, but gives you space to sew
and hide ends nicely.
And you own BB Doll is done.
I hope you have enjoyed making it, and the hair you have
learned will open up a whole new possibilities.
Experiment and try different styles. Share what you have
learned and teach us something new as well.

Here are few samples of the hair you can try to make yourself.

Looking forward to see and hear you experiences in making

BB Doll.
