This is a quick and easy pattern to follow. I whipped up one of these little gals in just a few hours. I used satin finish yarn (but really any yarn that is not chunky or worsted weight should work) plus I used a 3.25 hook.

Final Touches
Stuff your doll with fiber filling and then hold the doll in front of you and close the bottom of the doll flat across. Then sew through both the front and back this will close the doll and make a nice seam. Attach limbs, add hair, and decorate. You might consider adding a ruffle to her skirt, a scarf, or a turtleneck!
