Notes:
After moking Numerous dolls, I found that crochet hook E/4 (3.5 mm) mokes the tightest stitches. However, the basic rule is to work stitches tightly so stuffing does not Show. With the type of doll to make, called omigurumi you will work in the round but do not join. I use a stitch marker to indicate the beginning of the next row qs the work progresses. You may use the adjustoble ring method to sStart your rounds.
I still use ch 2, 6 sc in the second ch to start my beginning rounds. There is no right or wrong, mostly, preference.
