Pattern Notes
Stuff as firmly as you can unless otherwise specified. Stuffing is the key to make or break your doll. If the body is too big for the head, then the head needs more stuffing. If the head is too big, then more stuffing is needed for the body.
Work in continuous rounds unless otherwise specified.
Work in both loops unless otherwise specified.
You can use any yarn as long as you will use the appropriate hook size
(smaller size than the recommended one) but the size of your doll will
be different.

Following the instructions below, subtract N to get the number of SCs you need to make before crocheting the wings. Note: You don’t need to subtract anything if you’re starting st is only slightly to the left like in the photo. I marked a line so you can see where my starting sts are.
