She is entirely crocheted – no embroidery here!
Her body is worked upwards from her feet to her head and the design includes special stitches for her nose and eyes (though small black safety eyes could be used if you prefer). Her arms + hair are made separately then sewn on.
My doll is named Jean after my Great Aunt, who was part of the Women’s Land Army during WW2.
