Suki is the second member of the Baby Bean Doll Base family. Here she is with her sister (the first member), Whimsy the Witch!
The instructions for Suki include:
- Body base color changes, using the free Baby Bean Doll Base pattern
- Dress and collar

Little Whimsy and Suki!
I had the fortune of getting help from my fellow Facebook followers, who gave me ideas for a name that begins with "S". I ended up really liking both "Sora" and "Suki", and put up a poll to see what others preferred. The name, Suki, won by a landslide!
So here we are now, with little Suki the schoolgirl! Her pattern is super customizable, and you can create a "mini me" for a real-life school girl by changing the yarn colors to match the skin, hair, and school's uniform colors. You can also use a different hair style, add embellishments like buttons and beads, and more!
Here's me with little Suki!

Make the following color changes while using pattern instructions for the Baby Bean doll base.
DRESS SKIRT
Start with the main dress color (blue).Place the doll face-down, feet turned away from you. Insert hook in a stitch in the center of the doll’s back, right under R22 of the body. This is where you will attach yarn and begin R1.
R1: Ch 1, sc around. *Join with a sl st to the first st. (21 sts)
R2: Ch 3, dc-inc around. *Join. (42 sts)
R3: Ch 3, (dc, dc-inc) around. *Join. (63 sts)
Switch to the dress edging color (white).
R4: Ch 1, sc around in BLO. *Join. (63 sts)
Fasten off and weave in the ends.

Start with the collar color (blue).R1: Ch 16. Ch 2, hdc in 3rd ch from hook. Hdc 7, ch 1, sl st in next ch. Ch 1, hdc in next ch. Hdc across remaining ch.
Fasten off with a long tail for sewing to the doll later. The indent in the center of the collar will be positioned in the front of the doll, while the ends will be sewn together in the back.

~ FINISHING INSTRUCTIONS ~
- Tie a small bow using pink yarn.
- Sew the collar around the doll’s neck. The dip in the middle faces front, and the two ends are sewn together to the back of the neck. Sew the small bow to center of collar.
- Add strands of black hair to your doll’s hair cap, then sew cap to head. The step-by-step Hair Tutorial with photo references is available in the PDF file. Alternatively, you may view my hair tutorial videos for this part.
- If desired, sew bangs to your doll’s head one strand at a time. Style her hair however you’d like! I tied my doll’s hair into two pigtails.
- If desired, add blush to cheeks using my tips and video tutorial.
Congratulations on finishing your school girl doll!
