This is my version that I made earlier this week!!

Last night I sat down to create a new item for Alpine Originals (the local shop I sell in)…  Last year I whipped up some cute little beanbag owls for kids…They were a big hit…  I wanted to make something different for this shopping season… First, I made some Magic Balls of yarn,,, I found this technique for using scraps of yarn in a fun way over on Fresh Stitches...  Then I crocheted this cute little doll… She is about 5′ tall and worked up quickly…

I love her hair and it reminds me of my wonderful sister-in-law Rachael… She has fabulous curly hair!!!  I was wondering if you like this latest creation and if you would like another FREE PATTERN???  Let me know by commenting on this post!!
