This is great basic pattern for a doll, and you can easily make the doll your own. Change the color of the skin and clothes, or change the outfit by altering where you change to a new color. The t-shirt can be made long-sleeved. The shorts can become a pair of jeans. Maybe you add a skirt and sew it on to give the doll a dress.
I didn't want to make a "one size fits all" pattern, instead I want to give you a pattern that can have the hairstyle you want, and the clothes that you want. That is why I have made two different basic patterns (this sitting doll, and a standing doll), tutorials for different hairstyles, and also patterns for doll clothes.
The doll is made with crochet needle size 3 mm and measures about 27 cm or 10.5 inches.
Pattern
This pattern will make the same doll as is shown in the image, but you can easily change the outfit by altering where you change color. Note that this pattern will not show you how to make the hair, but you can find that tutorial here.

Body
I've change the pattern after I made the doll in the pictures, as I though the body was a little too long. However, if you want the exact same a the pictures, just add 2 more rounds of 42.

Change to bottom (trouser) color between round 33 and 34. You may want to add a few extra stitches before changing color to place the color change over the heel.
End with a slip stitch and leave enough yarn to attach the leg to the body.
Make two.
Assembly
Start by adding stuffing to the head and body. Make both pretty full to keep the shapes round. Sew the head and body together. You only need one stitch per loop, as in 18 stitches in total.
Next, add stuffing to the hands and feet. You don't want any stuffing in the arms or legs. Stuffing in the arms will make them stand out like a T, and stuffing in the legs will prevent the doll from sitting. Use the back of the crochet needle to push the stuffing all the way down.
Sew on the arms and the legs. A tip is to wait to weave in the ends until you have attached all the arms and legs. If you're not happy with the placement of one (or more) of them, you can still easily remove it and try again.
Lastly, sew on the face. If you gave the doll shoes, you can also add shoelaces. To stop the shoelaces from untying, you can sew a few stitches with sewing thread over the knot.
Hair and clothes
This pattern is just for the basic doll, but I have other patterns for hair and clothes which you can find here.
