A very old doll, but one I love.
I got a request to finish this, and so I did!
This pattern is NOT tested, so please send me any mistakes you find! (Also I'd love to see a picture of your finished project!)
Materials:
- 5.00 mm (H8) crochet hook
- Red Heart Super Saver yarn
a) Dark Sage
b) Light Sage
c) White
- Caron Perfect Match yarn
a) Cream
b) Brown (name?)
c) Sunflower
- A small bit of white felt
- Two black buttons
- Tiny bit of black embroidery thread and a needle
- Stuffing
- Some sort of beads/pebbles/something heavy to weigh down the feet with (I used plastic pony beads I had sitting around)
Are you ready? Let’s get started!!

Flip sleeve inside out and sew hand in bottom
Boots

18) (sc dec, sc 2) around (36 sts)
19) (sc dec, sc 2) around (27)
20) (sc dec, sc) around (18)

Neck and Head
1) Finish last sc of previous row with cream, and sc around in BLO (sill no joining)
2) Sc around

5) (2 sc in next, sc 4) around (36)
6) (2 sc in next, sc 3) around (45)
7-11) sc around 5 times

10) sc 8, sc dec over 3, sc around (39)
11-13) sc around
o BEFORE you finish the head, MAKE THE TUNIC. Link has to be sewn into it, and it’s easier if you can sew the straps to the back and then put it over his head. Also things like ears and eyes are easier to sew on while the head still has an opening.
13) (sc dec, sc) around, sc in last 3 (27)
14) (sc dec, sc) around (18)
15) (sc dec, sc) around (12)

The front spikes of the hair are two small triangles (sewn together) on top of two bigger triangles (also sew together). The ch 1 does NOT count as a stitch (I always get holes when I do that, and I was trying to avoid them here).

-Now! Sew this combines mess onto the other straight long edge of your top oval, and then sew the side spikes RIGHT next to this triangle mess on both sides. There should be a small gap between the hanging sides and the back that sticks down (and this is where the ears should be sewn on!).
-Laugh at how silly this looks. Seriously. It looks like an Elvis Wig Monster.
-Sew this onto the head as best you can, then sew on the ears, hat, etc...
