Here the body has been snugged up on the 12mm eye shank. The collar that will keep this all together is shown here as well.
The collar has been pressed onto the shank of the 12mm eye. Press this hard onto the shank, and make sure it is well secure before you resume crocheting the rest of the body.
Body fully crocheted and beginning to stuff with fiberfill. As with all crochet toys, stuff firmly but don't let the stuffing show between the stitches.

I love all about this doll, the more I stare on her, the more she becomes adorable, they really did a nice styling on her. She has a long blonde hair that would be great for restyling, her outfit and accessories are nicely done, I love the denim fabric that they used for her vest, with the leather bag and those suede booty are just wonderful.

The third of three bathing ensembles, for a good friends Granddaughters for Christmas.

I plan to get some of the bathing outfits up there soon :-)
Flatten the final round of the body and crochet it closed with 10 sc stitches. Just before you complete these stitches, check to see if you want to add a bit more stuffing.
Okay, I admit it...spent the afternoon playing around with 'picnik' to see what you can do with your photo's for free. This was the result :-)
I wanted this to be a short-waisted dress, with a bit of fullness in the skirt (the lace part), so the lace is about one-and-a-half times longer (around) than the dolls waist.
To get an idea of how many stitches it takes to fit around the dolls waist, work chain stitches slightly loose until they fit around the doll where you want the bodice to fit, and count the number of stitches. For this example, using size 8 perle cotton and a size 8 steel hook, 40 stitches was about right.
So, with a contrasting color I am now working 40 sc evenly across the top of the lace.

Crochet the arms leaving a long tail at the beginning of the arm to sew the arm to the body. Cut a length of pipe cleaner twice the length of each arm; fold in half and twist the halves together. Insert into the opening at the end of the arm, then crochet the hand.
It has been a brutal winter for many of us in North America and Europe, so I felt a Spirit of Spring was needed, to help lift our Spirits :-)

Back to the torso and legs! After stitching the torso closed, do not cut the yarn but begin the first leg by stitching in one loop only of the first five sc, then turn and stitch in the remaining loop of the same stitches. This is like working the Free Spirit and Mini Free Spirit body and leg backward.
The last round of the leg is worked in the back loop only, leaving the front loops free to make the feet, just like the mini free spirit.
Here is the second leg begun. The most difficult part of crocheting this little doll is the second leg! The first leg keeps getting in the way.
After the legs are complete, cut a length of pipe cleaner twice the length of each leg. Fold in half and twist the halves together. Insert into the opening at the bottom of the leg, then sew the bottom closed, sewing in the back loops only. No stuffing is needed for the legs, or the arms, for that matter.
A delicious blend of triangles from my Fat Quarter Shop bundle and a few extra fabrics including some hoarded AMH fabrics. Made and completed for my husband for Father's Day 2013.
All done except the trimmings! She is about seven inches tall, and crocheted from Patons Astra, a light worsted weight (or heavy sportweight) yarn.
The third row is the armhole dividing row. For this example, I worked six sc, then crocheted four links and skipped eight sc, then worked 12 sc (the front), crocheted four links, skipped eight sc, and sc in the last six stitches.
Actually, this turned out to be 44 sc, so I will work another row of sc and decrease by four stitches.
