As you can see I have made this doll more than once. The doll on the left was made for my daughter when she turned one.
The one on the right was made for a friends daughter’s first Christmas.
The one on the left was made with worsted weight yarn. The one on the right with DK. Each used a hook size appropriate for the yarn.
All parts are sewn on or crocheted as part of the doll, so there is nothing to swallow.
