Please note: I strive for accuracy in every pattern, but occasional errors can happen. Thank you for understanding and for enjoying my designs.

Pattern Overview

This pattern recreates the full crochet set shown in the image:

• The pink panther doll with long arms, long legs, curved tail, and shaped muzzle
• Blue and white striped overalls with small daisy details
• Yellow crossbody bag with flower flap
• Blue sunhat with tiny bee applique
• Yellow sandals with little bees
• Three separate bee decorations
• Small beige plate with red strawberries
• Mini watering can with daisy motif

The construction is mostly worked in continuous rounds unless noted. The doll is designed with a slim neck, oversized head, narrow torso, extra-long limbs, and a long tail to match the proportions in the picture.

For the cleanest finish, use a stitch marker and move it every round. Keep your tension firm so the stuffing does not show through.

Design Notes

The doll in the image has a very specific look. The head is large and rounded but slightly wider at the cheeks. The muzzle sits forward in two distinct puffy pads with a central triangular nose bridge.

The neck is narrow. The torso is slim and straight. The arms are extra long and relaxed, ending near the knees. The legs are also long and narrow, giving the figure a stretched cartoon appearance.

The ears are small and rounded. The eyes are large, yellow, and slightly bulging with black pupils placed inward. The eyebrows are embroidered in black and slightly curved upward.

To preserve the same style, do not overstuff the limbs. Keep them smooth, slender, and lightly flexible.

Right Muzzle Pad

Repeat Left Muzzle Pad.

Sew the two pads side by side on the lower front of the head so they touch slightly in the middle and create the double-cheek look from the image.

Snout Triangle

1. Ch 2.
2. Row 1: 2 sc in second ch from hook. Turn. (2)
3. Row 2: ch 1, inc, inc. Turn. (4)

7. Row 6: ch 1, inc, sc 4, inc. Turn. (8)
8. Row 7: ch 1, sc 8. Do not fasten off.

1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Rnd 2: inc around. (12)

Black Pupil x2

With black:

1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Rnd 2: sc around. (6)

Sew or glue the pupils onto the yellow circles slightly toward the inner lower side, just like the original character expression.

Sew the completed eyes to the head above the muzzle, leaving enough space between them for the nose bridge. The eyes should sit slightly angled, not perfectly flat.

Eyebrows

With black yarn, embroider one curved line above each eye.

Each brow should begin near the center top of the eye and lift upward slightly toward the outside edge.

Keep them thin and soft. Thick brows will change the character too much.

Ears x2

With pink:

1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Rnd 2: inc around. (12)
3. Rnd 3: sc, inc x6. (18)

Lightly stuff only the hand and the first few rounds above it.

Flatten the top and sew the arms to the body just below the neck. The arms should angle downward naturally and reach almost to the knees.

Tail

With pink:

1. Rnd 1: 5 sc in MR. (5)
2. Rnd 2-30: sc around. (5)

Do not stuff, or stuff only the first 3 rounds very lightly.

Sew to the back of the body low on the torso so the tail curves toward the left side, matching the image.

Striped Overalls

The overalls are fitted, sleeveless, and end just below the knee. They have narrow blue straps, horizontal blue and white striping, and tiny daisy decorations.

You can either crochet them directly onto the body or make them separately. For the cleanest striped placement, this version is made separately and then dressed onto the doll.

6. Rnd 15-16: white sc around. (56)
7. Rnd 17-18: blue sc around. (56)

Try on the doll as you go. Adjust by one or two decreases if your tension is loose.

Upper Bib Section

Lay the shorts flat with the join centered at the back.

Using blue, count 14 front center stitches for the bib.

1. Row 1: Join blue to first bib stitch, sc 14. Turn. (14)
2. Row 2: ch 1, sc 14. Turn. (14)
3. Row 3: ch 1, dec, sc 10, dec. Turn. (12)

Optional Structural Tips

• Use pipe cleaner only if you are experienced and if the item is not for very young children
• To keep the neck straight, insert a tightly rolled fabric strip or extra stuffing column inside the neck
• To help the doll stand for photos, use a hidden doll stand behind the body
• The original image style is soft and decorative, so the doll does not need to stand on its own

Color Placement and Styling Notes

The pink body should be consistent throughout, with the muzzle in a noticeably lighter pink. The eyes should be a warm creamy yellow rather than neon yellow.

The overalls need narrow horizontal stripes. Avoid wide bands because the image shows fine stripe spacing.

The bag and sandals should match one another in bright yellow. The hat should be a clear medium sky blue, not dusty blue.

The daisies are small accent details, so keep them flat and neat.

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

• Sew muzzle pads first, then attach the nose triangle above them
• Place eyes high on the head and slightly angled inward for the correct expression
• Embroider thin curved brows only after both eyes are fully secured
• Sew ears near the top side of the head with a slight outward tilt
• Attach arms just below the neck and legs already formed from the body base
• Dress the doll in the overalls, add sandals, then place the bag diagonally across the chest
• Style the tail so it curves gently to one side

Care Notes

• Display indoors away from strong direct sunlight for long periods
• Dust gently with a soft dry brush
• Spot clean when possible instead of soaking
• If gifting to a child, securely sew every small part and avoid removable decorations

Quick Checklist Before You Finish

• Head stuffed firmly and neck stable
• Muzzle centered and symmetrical
• Eyes placed evenly with inward-looking pupils
• Arms and legs long, slim, and lightly stuffed
• Overall stripes even and bib centered
• Daisies, bag, sandals, hat, bees, plate, strawberries, and watering can completed
• All ends woven in securely

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

• Hand wash only in cool water with mild soap if necessary
• Do not twist or wring the doll or accessories
• Press gently in a towel to remove moisture
• Reshape the head, muzzle, hat brim, and overalls while damp
• Air dry flat in a well-ventilated area
• Store in a clean dry box or cloth bag to protect color and shape
