April 2017 - pattern revised after difficulties people were having with the head - so pattern now has an easier version of the head and smaller feet with a pair of Mary Jane shoes designed just for lovely Nelly - previous feet were causing issues when it came to designing clothes to fit - so please note that any future clothing designs will be based on this version and are very likely not to fit the old version.

Nelly is named after a nickname we have for my own beautiful little girl! Her shaping is loosely based upon her cousin Weebee’s but she’s taller and slimmer than Weebee (they cannot share clothes unfortunately - more clothes patterns for Nelly coming soon). Nelly has optional underwear, as well as thumbs and ears worked onto her body and she can also sit down!

Pattern includes:
Doll
Hair cap and curls
Dress
Mary Jane Shoes

All my dolls and clothing patterns can be found here in my Ravelry store.

Due to the unexpected but wonderful popularity of all of my Weebee dolls and clothing patterns there is now a dedicated Facebook group which you can find here.

Made using dk weight yarn and a 3.5mm hook my Nelly stands at 10.5 inches tall. However, other yarn weights and hooks can of course be used to create smaller or larger dolls.

This pattern has been tested by four members of the Weebee Appreciation Society Facebook Group and every effort has been made to ensure that this pattern is error free and ready for publication! If you find any errors whatsoever though, please don’t hesitate to send me a private message here or on Facebook and I will amend as soon as possible!

I hope you have as much fun crocheting Weebee and her friends as I and many others have!
