Please do not copy the full or any part of the pattern to resell.
You may sell your finished yogi dolls in a small quantity.

This pattern is worked in amigurumi style in a spiral. The

doll is crochet all in one piece. We make the arms first and
put aside. Then starting from the legs up crochet all the way
to the top of the head. This doll is great if you don’t enjoy
sewing on parts.

HAIR
The hair of the dolls is made by looping hair through. after
we have all the strands we want then I brush out my yarn
with a metal cat brush so it looks more like real hair.

Continue around the head to make the hair line and then fill
in to desired thickness. I then like to take a cat brush and
brush out the yarn to make it soft and look like real hair.

If you want it to be smoother and not stick out as much you

can run your hair straighteners though the brushed yarn.
