Crochet a super cute rag doll for someone.  A soft crocheted doll is a great gift idea for any little girl or boy. When crocheting a doll it's typically crocheted similar to have a stuffed toy is crocheted. You start with individual pieces such as the head, arms, body, legs and attached them together. 

A few things to remember when crocheting a doll is who you are making them for.  Safety first. Don't add any buttons or removable eyes if you are crocheting a doll for a small child.  

You can crochet a girl doll or a boy doll and display them or make them for play with additional clothing if you like.
