Thank you, Thank you. That is exactly the rag doll pattern I was looking for. I had made several girl dolls and several boy dolls many years ago and had forgotten some of the steps. Now that the grandchildren have grown up and have children of their own they want them to have the dolls too.
I will be glad to make them. ggks
