I bought this pattern and used it to make dolls for both of my sons and also many gifts. It is super easy to follow. There wasn't one part of this pattern that was difficult to follow. I highly recommend it!

I have every pattern from her and love it! Definitely watch the videos on youtube it really helped me since i am a visual learner. dolls come out a bit small, but if you cut outside by 1/2" you'll have a much bigger doll.
