Now, shape the face by pulling in the eye sockets slightly. The rest of the facial features can be added according to your taste and creativity.

Row 4 – 5: 18 (2 rows)
Row 6: (SC, skip 1 stitch)*6 (12)
Row 7: (1 SC, skip 1 stitch)*6 (6)
Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail for sewing. Shape the ball into a bow and attach it to the wig.
Bows for the First-Grader:
You can use thinner yarn for these bows.
Row 1: 8 SC in the magic ring.
Row 2: (SC)*8 (16)
Continue crocheting by making 3 double crochets in each stitch. Crochet two rows like this.
Attach the bows to the head or the wig as desired.

Crochet in straight rows with a turning chain and a turn at the end of each row.
Chain 18.
Rows 1 – 10: 18 SC

Cut the yarn. Sew the apron together. Place cardboard pieces inside and secure them with glue or tape.
Lock:
Make a lock by chaining 4, then crochet 3 rows of 3 SC in each chain.
Handle (without straps):
Chain 20, then crochet 19 SC along the chain.
Straps:
Chain 50, then along the chain: 15 SC, 3 DC, 2 SC, 10 slip stitches, 2 SC, 3 DC, 15 SC, 3 chains, slip stitch. Then, along the other side of the chain: 1 slip stitch, 20 SC, 2 chains, skip 10 stitches (where the slip stitches are), 20 SC, slip stitch.
Sew the purse pieces together. You can place some cardboard pieces inside, either glued or taped together.
Your doll should be complete with a skirt, head, wig, facial features, hair, bows, apron, purse, and all the other details. Enjoy your crocheting!
