I already shared how to do her eyes and her hair, now finally, I finished the pattern for her body. Here comes my Audrey Hepburn Style Crochet Doll! I tested it for two yarn and hook sizes and now, I am quite happy how it turned out. So, I hope you’ll enjoy to do this little Audrey as much as I did designing her!
You’ll need:
50g Cotton yarn in a skin color (I think a very light color suits her best)
slightly too small hook size (I used Catania from Schachenmyr (6-ply) and a 1.5 hook for a 20cm doll and Drops Paris (dk) and a 3.0 hook for a 35cm doll)

Hi, Thank you for these lovely patterns. I think you have an error in the leg directions. The left side rounds go from 11. – 16. R: to 13. R (which should be 17R) and totals 31 rounds. The right side has only 28 rounds. I have fixed mine but wanted to tell you about it. Thanks again, Anna
Dear Anna,
thanks a lot for this! I do not know how it comes, that I am not able to see such things anymore once I’ve written down (and edited and re-edited) a pattern. So thanks again for taking the time and commenting. I will change that right away.
All best wishes to you,
Mareike
[…] Audrey Hepburn Crochet Doll: I am a huge fan of Audrey Hepburn, so of course I am more than happy that so many of you like my pattern. This one has not only one of the top positions in the 2016 statistics, it was also shared 87 times on Facebook, which is a lot in my eyes. I still love my Audrey Doll and hope that some of you have one of your own by now. […]
I think there is a few mistakes on the head .I tried it a few times and it always ends up wrong
Ok, I’ll have another look at it and will make an update. Sorry for this!
Ok, there you go. I updated the head. there were some errors, indeed – so sorry! Hope it works out better now!
Thank you so much .Is this the same head you used on your Elsa Doll in your youtube chanel cause i think i might make her also.Thank you so much for sharing your patterns
Yes, exactly. Elsa’s head is actually a newer version of Audrey’s head. The dolls are quite similar. The body-shape is a bit different, though. For Audrey I tried to do the hourglass-measurements, while Elsa is a bit more child-like. Hope you have fun with both patterns
Thank you very much I’m sure I will enjoy doing both
