Instructions
Legs

Round 2: SC INC in each stitch around (12)
Round 3: SC in first, SC INC in next. Repeat around. (18)
Round 4-10: SC in each stitch around. (18)
Change to skin color
Rounds 11-38: SC in each stitch around. (18)
Fasten off.
Repeat for the second leg but do not fasten off. Instead, chain 3 and then SC in the next stitch of the other leg. Take care to crochet over the tail left over by fastening off. SC around the entire leg. When you come to the three chains, SC in each chain around the next leg. SC over the chain back to the other leg. In the last SC on the last chain place your stitch marker. (This is round 39.)
Round 40: SC around. (42)
(If you are making the attached dress, change to dress color here)
Rounds 41-60:: SC around (42)
(Change back to skin color. Crochet in the back loop only for the first row of skin color-this is optional, but gives a cleaner line.)

Round 62: 3 SC, INV DEC, repeat around. (28)
Round 63: 2 SC, INV DEC, repeat around.(21)

INV DEC until you have 12 stitches on the round. From here we will be increasing the head. Round 66 of the body is now Round 1 of the head. It will be easy to see and helps for eye/mask placement and general counting.

Place the safety eyes in between rows 15 and 16, nine stitches apart. Line up your mask to make sure that they fit well. Sew on eyelashes. This is also a good time to place the foam roller or dowel if you are using one. Make sure to stuff the neck around the dowel as well as you can.

Arms

Stuff lightly and attach to body. I sew them on between rows 62 and 63.
Hair
At first, make a hair hat. Which is exactly what it sounds like. It just basically cover the head so you don’t have to fill in every space, but the skin color doesn’t show through. This hat is not worked in the round. You will attach with a slip stitch to the first stitch after each row. Using a larger hook.
Row 1: DC 10 in a magic circle
Row 2: DC INC in each around.
Row 3: DC in the first, DC INC in the next. Repeat around.
Row 4: DC in the first 2, DC in the next. Repeat around.

Fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing onto the head.
