PDF PATTERN ONLY: Mother Mary with Infant Jesus Crochet Pattern

Description

NOTE: THIS IS A DIGITAL PATTERN DOWNLOAD, NOT THE FINISHED DOLL FOR SALE.

Pattern is written in English and uses US crochet terms.

Create your own small Mother Mary with Infant Jesus doll using a comprehensive pattern, complete with step-by-step directions, tips, and photos. The finished product is approximately 6.6 inches tall.

This doll is not a peg-style dolls: She has legs! This means she does not stand up on her own (I placed her on a small doll stand in the pictures).

Difficulty level: advanced beginner/intermediate

Materials:

2.75 mm hook
3.25 mm hook
Yarn (I use cotton yarn, weight 4): tan/beige or skin color of choice, brown, light blue, white, gold. (I use an acrylic yarn for the gold parts only because I like the color more than my cotton gold yarn options.)
Polyester fiber stuffing
2 8mm safety eyes (Safety eyes are not recommended for small kids, but you may use black thread or eyes to embroider eyes if you prefer).
Stitch marker (to keep track of rows)
Finishing/tapestry needle (to sew parts together, embroider nose, and weave in ends)
Black embroidery thread
Optional: blush for cheeks, pins for placing parts together before sewing
