You can use any yarn weight you like, just make sure to use the same weight for the entire pattern.

NOTE THE BODY AND THE BOTTOM PART OF THE LEGS ARE WORKED IN DOUBLE STRAND YARN.

I RECOMMEND WORKING WITH TWO SKIENS FOR THIS.

In addition to the original sized doll portrayed in this pattern, I have listed some possible yarn weight options below. Yarn amount and hook sizes may vary according to your tension and personal preference.
