Mini Doll Jilly
Hi there! My name is Christina. Now you will plunge into the fantastic world of crocheting
with me and we will create a wonderful transforming Jilly the doll. She is called a
transformer as she perfectly turns into a bouquet.
I will be glad if you tag me as the author. Also, welcome to my wonderland: @mi.moo.mi
Please, do not share the pattern or its elements with third parties. Since it’s my work, I will be
grateful for your understanding.
