Описание на английском. Если нужна будет помощь обращайтесь. Все переводить сейчас для себя нет надобности.

The fun part about these dolls is that you can really decorate them in any way you like. So, rather than telling you exactly how I made mine, I'm going to give you a description of the basic doll pattern first. After that, I'll go into the specific elements that I used on my dolls. If you want to use those specific instructions, read them carefully before starting to on the basic doll. I hope to see your creative interpretations of the pattern!
Materials: Подробности здесь:

- Yarn in various colours of your choice.
- Embroidery floss or yarn for the face.
- Sewing thread that matches the colour of the yarn for the hair.
- A hook appropriate to the weight of the yarn. I personally used fingering weight yarn and a 2.0 mm hook, which resulted in a 8.5 inch doll.
- Yarn needle.
- Polyfill.
Note: When switching colours, the last loop you pull through the stitch before the switch already has to be in the new colour.

Specific instructions
A-line mini dress
Make the head like in the basic pattern until it's time to change to the body colour. Change to the body colour, but don't clip the skin colour yet, just leave it hanging for now. Continue as follows:
R18: In the front loops only: sc inc in next st, sc in next 5 st, around (21)
You've now laid down the base round for the dress. Don't clip the dress colour, but pick up the skin colour again.

Crochet along the inside now, in the back loops that you left in the previous round, without increasing, making 18 stitches. This way you'll have two layers of crochet on top of each other, namely a skin layer, and a dress layer. Continue crocheting the skin layer as follows:
R19-R20: Work even (18)
R21: sc inc in next st, sc in next 5 st, around (21)
R22-R24: Work even (21) Now change colour for the panties. This is important; otherwise your doll will be very indecent under that little mini dress.
R25: Work even (21)
R26: sc next 2 st tog, sc in next 5 st, around (18) Stuff firmly.
R27: sc next 2 st tog, sc in next st, around (12). Stuff more.
R28: sc next 2 st tog, around (6) Fasten off and weave in the end.

Now go back to where you left off the dress layer. Continue as follows:
R19: Work even (21)
R20: sc inc in next st, sc in next 6 st, around (24)
R21 Work even (24)
R22: sc inc in next st, sc in next 7 st, around (27)
R23 Work even (27)
R24: sc inc in next st, sc in next 8 st, around (30)
R25 Work even (30)
R26: sc inc in next st, sc in next 9 st, around (33)
R27 Work even (33)
R28: sc inc in next st, sc in next 10 st, around (36)
R29: sc in next 2 st, ss in next 3 st. Fasten off and weave in the end.

Ballerina skirt
Finish the head and body according to the basic pattern. After that, the skirt is crocheted directly onto the body, around the stitches of R24.
R1: sc in every st around (21)
R2: sc inc in next st, around (42)
R3: sc inc in next st, around (84)
R4: ss in next 2 st. Fasten off and weave in the end.

If you think crocheting around the body is too fiddly, you could also make the skirt as a separate piece and sew it on. In that case, start with a foundation chain of 21 and join with a slip stitch. After that, continue with the skirt pattern as instructed.
Stripy thigh-high stockings
Make the legs according to the basic pattern, but change colours along the way. For the first three rounds, use stripe colour A. For the next two rounds, use stripe colour B. Continue alternating between the stripe colours every two rounds. However, don't just make your colour changes at the beginning of the round all the time, because then the colour changes will start twisting around the leg. Instead, make the colour changes so that they form a straight line. After a total of 15 stripes, change to skin colour and finish off the leg. When sewing on the legs, make sure that the colour changes are along the inside of the leg. This way, they will be less apparent.
Knee-high boots with stripy thigh-high stockings
Make the legs according to the basic pattern, but change colours along the way. For the first three rounds, use whatever colour you want the sole of the boot to be. For the next 12 rounds, use the boot colour. For the next two rounds, use stripe colour A. For the next two rounds, use stripe colour B. Continue alternating between the stripe colours every two rounds. However, don't just make your colour changes at the beginning of the round all the time, because then the colour changes will start twisting around the leg. Instead, make the colour changes so that they form a straight line. After a total of 7 stripes, change to skin colour and finish off the leg. When sewing on the legs, make sure that the colour changes are along the inside of the leg. This way, they will be less apparent.
Arms with short sleeves
Crochet the arms according to the basic pattern, but make the last two rounds in the sleeve colour.
Arms with arm warmers
Make the arms according to the basic patterns, but change colours along the way. For the first three rounds, use skin colour. For the next two rounds, use stripe colour A. For the next two rounds, use stripe colour B. Continue alternating between the stripe colours every two rounds. However, don't just make your colour changes at the beginning of the round all the time, because then the colour changes will start twisting around the arm. Instead, make the colour changes so that they form a straight line. After a total of 5 stripes, change to skin colour and finish off the arm. When sewing on the arms, make sure that the colour changes are along the bottom of the arm. This way, they will be less apparent.
Afro hair
The afro hairdo consists of two parts: the front part which has corn rows, and the back part which is puffy. To make the corn rows, simply make long stitches with black yarn, spaced apart slightly. For the puffy part, we'll sew on small loops of yarn with sewing thread. To start, attach the yarn to the top front of the head, straight off the skein. Weave in the short end. Now make a small loop around your index finger, and sew it to the head. Two stitches should be enough for that: one around the yarn, and one right through. Continue to make loops like that, in a spiral following the head line all around the head. When making loops around the side and bottom of the head, make the loops around your pinkie finger instead. This way, you'll subtly shape the hair.
When you get back to the top, continue making another spiral of hair along the previous one, just close enough the provide coverage. It took me three spirals to cover the whole head, but it may depend on the yarn how much you'll need. After you have full coverage, cut the yarn off the skein and weave in the end.
To make a little hair band, chain 38 and join with a slip stitch. Fasten off. You could weave in the ends, or simply tie them into a little bow to finish it off.
Pigtail hair
Take the yarn for the hair and wrap it around a book, about 50 times. Take the loops off the book and cut through the loops once. Now you'll have 50 hairs of equal length. Take a hair, fold it lengthwise to find the middle. Then, use sewing thread in a colour that matches the hair to sew it to the top middle on the head, starting at the hair line. Two stitches should be enough for that: one around the yarn, and one right through. Keep sewing on hairs, going in a straight line down to the bottom middle of the head. Now that the hair is secured at the parting, pull the hair into two pig tails. After that, sew the pig tails tightly to the side of the head. Tie bows around the pig tails to finish it off.
