Miss Amelie (description)
Well, by popular demand of the fans, I am exposing a description of Miss Amelie. This doll is designed by Jean Greenho (c) Jean Greenhowe. Doll from a series of fashionable dolls. In the 19th century, fashion clothes were shown with their help. Miss Amelie shows off her underwear.
So, to knit this doll, you need 3 mm and 4 mm knitting needles (for hair).
60 grams of white, 30 grams of light pink or beige, 30 grams of brown yarn. A little bright pink, dark pink and light green yarn. The yarn should be thick. The author of the recommendation has 8 ply or double knit. I had problems with the selection of shades, so I took 4 ply children's yarn and rewound in two threads. It turned out just what we needed.
Torso and head
We start knitting from the bottom. On 3 mm knitting needles, we collect 34 loops with white yarn. Mark the middle of the set edge with a colored thread.

15 row - facial. This row marks where the trousers will be sewn.
We continue to knit 8 rows of front stitch.
32 row - 7 front, (2 together front) x4 times, 10 front, (2 together front) x4 times, 7 front - 32 loops.

We collect the remaining loops on the thread and tightly knit.
We sew the doll along the edge loops, leaving a small hole at the top of the head for stuffed material. We connect together the middle of the set edge with the back seam. Sew the lower body. We twist the doll with the right side outward, stuff it so that the circumference of the body is 19 cm, the circumference of the neck is 16 cm, and the circumference of the head is 21 cm. We sew a hole on the crown. We take a long thread of light pink color, we pass it through the loops of 40 rows. We tighten it, tie it and hide the ends of the thread inside the doll.
Face
Colored thread marks the central part of the face.
Eyes
We mark the place for the eyes with pins, placing them 13 rows above the 40 row. There should be 4 loops between the eyes. Embroider eyes with a stitch back needle
Roth
Place the pin in the center, 5 rows above the 40 row. Then place the second pin in the middle of the second loop to the left of the first pin. Place the third pin at the same distance to the right. Remove the center pin. With a pink thread, sew a stitch from one pin to another. Make a half stitch from below, just below the first stitch.

Pin the hair around your face so that you get an inverted letter V. Sew the hair.

Sew the next two parts on the left, two on the right. Sew the two remaining parts over the first sewn part.
