Haggy Basic doll pattern

My son requested for a pocket chum, a doll he could bring at school.We work together making this doll according to his liking.The doll gets its name after my son's nickname.He said it's his design so he get to name it after him.


  Pattern note:
-This doll is worked from bottom to top in continuous round or spiral method.
-Chain  made at the beginning of row/round does not count as a stitch, unless stated.
- You can use smaller hook size and other yarn weight to make your doll the size of your preference. 
Gauge: Gauge is not a big deal on this pattern,as long as same size yarn and hook are used for all the pattern pieces.Since tension may vary in different circumstances,i suggest finishing the parts that must be the same such as arms and legs.

Finished doll size: 7 inches

Materials:
-worstedweight yarn
-3.75 crochet hook
-stitch marker
-tapestry needle
-poly fiber fill
-8 mm safety eyes ,beads, or your preferred method for making eyes
