Paisley the Princess Doll

Free Crochet Pattern

Get ready for some fun crocheting! Paisley is a medium-hard crochet pattern, specifically for experienced crocheters. For this pattern, I mostly used back loop only stitches, so that the rounds would be visible.

All girls will absolutely adore this wonderful doll. She has the cutest accessories, making her prettier than most dolls we have on this site!

Now stuff the shoe, and repeat these instructions to create the second shoe.

This is the bottom of the shoe after three rounds. Now I will change the color to white for the socks.

Now I have added on part of the sock with white yarn. I will add on more sock by single crocheting for three more rounds.

This is the finished shoe! I have crocheted the sock up four rounds, and put on the blue shoestrap

These are the finished product of the shoes! They are each about one and three fourths inches high. Now I will add on the legs in skin color.

LEGS:

Change colors to tan
R1 through R14 - all sc

*Note: Stuff the leg as you crochet it up, or else it will be extremely difficult to stuff it when it is finished.

Here is the first leg! I have crocheted fourteen rounds of skin color above the sock.

Yay! I have completed both of the legs. Next, I will crochet the body in the baby blue yarn.

BODY:

Change colors to baby blue
For the space between the legs: R1 and R2 - 3 sc
Attach the small piece of crocheting to both of the legs. I made it so that the feet are turned out.
Now crochet up to make the body as shown in picture 1

Now stuff the body before decreasing to form a neck
R12 - alternate between sc and dec
R11- all dec

Here is the body after two rounds up.

I have stuffed the body and I will start to decrease to form the neck.

For the braid crochet 18 ch 6 times
Braid the ch and look at the bottom of the page for instructions on her bow

Here is the front of the head with hair!

This is the back of the head, with the crocheted braided chain stitches. Now, I will crochet the head onto the body.

I have crocheted the head onto the body using single crochet. You can also use a yarn needle to attach the head. She is about twelve inches. Next, I will make the skirt.

SKIRT:

14 ch
R1 - all inc
R2 - all sc
R3 - all inc
R4 - all sc
R5 - all inc
R6 through R12 - all sc
Now change colors to dark blue
R13 - all sc
Now attach the skirt to the body using slst

Here is the first part of the skirt. I have completed five rounds already.

I have completed eight rounds so far!

Here is the skirt after twelve rounds! All I have to do now is line it with dark blue yarn, and crochet it onto the body of the doll using slip stitch.

This is the completed skirt! Now, all that's left is her arms and sleeves!

ARMS:

Use tan yarn for this part
6 sc in MG (6)
R1 through R11 - all sc
After you have completed this, stuff the arm
Do this on half of the arm (three stitches)
R1 and R2 - three sc
Now attach the arm to the body using slst
Repeat this part of the pattern to crochet the second arm

This is the first arm, attached with slip stitch. I will follow the same instructions to make the next arm.

She looks great already! I have finished both of her arms. All that is left is the easy ruffle sleeves with lining. You're almost done!

SLEEVES:

20 ch
R1 and R2 - all inc
Now change colors to dark blue
R3 - all sc
Now end the sleeves, and crochet them onto the body using slst

Congrats! If you've made it this far, the crocheting part is over. Now, all that's left to do is make the facial features by using safety eyes (or googly eyes colored in with sharpie) and a pink marker.

FACE:

I used safety eyes and a pink marker to make eyes and rosy cheeks

Here is her face!

PAISLEY'S ACCESSORIES:

Paisley's Necklace

To make this necklace, I simply took a piece of yellow yarn and tied knots in it each an equal amount of spaces apart.

Paisley's Flower Crown

To make these flowers into a crown, I alternated colors and used hot glue to paste them onto her head. Click here for their pattern.

Paisley's Bow

To make this, all I did was crochet ten chain stitches, and tied them in a bow.
