Leave yarn enough to sew the arms to the body. So you don't lost any arm (they're tiny!), I recommend to sew 'em right now to the body in the corresponding side: sky blue in the sky blue section, gray in the black portion. Skirt: (make 2, one sky blue (previously insert in the yarn the beads) and another tan or gray) 1) With Sky blue yarn: pick up 24 sts in the row 20 of the body. If you did this row with back loop only crochet, it must have the front loop free. Use this loops to sc the pick up sts. If you did all in sc, insert the needle between sts and crochet 1 sc in each sc around. (24) 2) \*2sc in first sc, 1sc in next 3 sc\* repeat from \* to\* (30) 3) \*2sc in first sc, 1sc in next 5 sc\* repeat from \* to\* (35) 4) \*2sc in first sc, 1sc in next 6 sc\* repeat from \* to\* (40) 5) \*2sc in first sc, 1sc in next 7 sc\* repeat from \* to\* (45) 6) \*2sc in first sc, 1sc in next 8 sc\* repeat from \* to\*(50) 7) \*2sc in first sc, 1sc in next 9 sc\* repeat from \* to\* (55) 8) \*2sc in first sc, 1sc in next 10 sc\* repeat from \* to\* (60) 9 a 22) 1sc in each sc around (60) In the sky blue skirt: You will be adding beads at random, when you crochet the sc stitches in this rows. Fasten off. With the tan or gray yarn, (without beads), pick up the 24 sc in the same way, but in the row 21, in the black portion. Continue in the same way as the sky blue skirt. You can crochet some squares (or cicles, or whatever) in coloured yarn to make de rags, ands sew 'em to this skirt. My little rags had 5 sc by side and 5 rows. You can make them in fabric or felt too. You imagination is your limit. Have fun!
When you have ready both skirts, you'll have to join both with white yarn, making a simple lace. Like a petticoat or underskirt. 1) Insert the crochet needle in each sc of the last row of both skirts at the same time. Join both with 1sc in each sc around. (60) 2) Make 3 chain in the first sc, skip next sc, join in the third sc with a slip stitch. Repeat this all around. Fasten off and hide the thread. Congratulations! You have the doll done. Now, you'll have to add details, like hair, apron and headscarf.
Apron:
1) With White Yarn: Make 16ch. 2) Starting with the 2nd ch from the needle, crochet 1 sc in each ch. Turn your work. (15) 3 a 8) 1ch, 1sc in each sc of the row. Turn. (15) 9) 1ch. Sc2tog, 1sc in the next 3 sc, repeat to the end of the row. Turn. (12) 10) 1ch. Sc2tog, 1sc in the next 2 sc, repeat to the end of the row. Turn. (9) 11 y 12) 1ch, 1sc in each sc of the row. Turn. (9) 13) 11ch, 1sc in each sc of the row, back loop only. Turn. (9) 14 a 16) 1ch, 1sc in each sc of the row. Turn. (9) 17) Make a chain of 16st, join with 1sc in the first sc of row 13, make another chain with 20st, fasten off. 18) In the other corner of row 16 (in the first sc), repeat
the procedure of row 17, (in the other side of row 13). Put the arms through the loops formed by the chains, tie the loose chains around the doll's waist with an pretty bow.
Head Scarf:
1) Wit a yarn of your choice (l crocheted it in lilac): Make a chain of 21st. 2) Start in the second st form the needle, sc in each st of the chain. Turn your work. (20) Untill you finish: In each row, 1 sc in each sc, turn. (Do NOT make a ch at the start of every row, so each row will have 1 sc less.) In each corner of row 1, make a chain long enough to tie the scarf to the head of the doll. But first, place the hair in the head...
Hair:
Rag Cinderella: My raggy Cinderella has loose hair, tied up with a bow and the headscarf. Whith light yellow yarn (or which you like), cut threads of double size of the length you wish for you doll. Insert you crochet needle in the scalp of the doll, loop a "hair" thread by the middle, put your needle thru a sc in the head with the loop, pass the ends of the thread through the loop, pull out the needle, adjust the hair threads. (l hope this make any sense) For the other Cinderella, the hair is done in a bun: Embroider the head with the same light yellow yarn, with very long stitches, from the forehead, sides and nape to the top of the head. Make a bun curling up the same yarn, and sew it well to the top of the head. To finish the hairstyle, sew some beads to the head making a tiara.
