Emerie the Emerald Princess

Emerie the Emerald Princess is a member of Sweet Softies’ Darling Dolls Series. This pattern provides instructions for crocheting Emerie, a beautiful young princess wearing a removable royal crown and a long-sleeved dress that goes down to her ankles. She is a very sweet girl and can easily be customized using different yarn colors and added embellishments, such as buttons, lace, appliques, and more. She makes a lovely gift for little girls, who can have lots of fun styling her hair as well!

Video tutorials for attaching hair, styling the hair, and adding blush to the doll are also available on the Sweet Softies Youtube Channel: http://www.youtube.com/SweetSofties.
