Mina doll pattern

Just like my Maya basic doll, this crochet doll pattern needs no sewing. It's kind of like a smaller version of Maya. I design this doll for Nutshell Lane Studios group doll of the month for April.

You can use any yarn and hook size making it to achieve the size you like.
Finished doll size: 12 inches Using worsted weight yarn with size F/ 3.75 mm hook. 

Pattern is written in US Terminology.

Abbreviation:

Sc- Single crochet

Ch- Chain

Inc- Increase

Dec- Decrease
