When friends bring me a cartoon or drawing to bring to life and the height they want, I have to sketch it to be sure I get the doll to scale. Above is the sketch I made to use as a guide :).
I recommend anyone who can draw and crochet to use this method. Granted you'll be working the doll up and pulling out the stitches from time to time, but hopefully it will spare some of your time!
Happy creating friends!
