BOY

This is an adaptation is my medium-sized doll pattern to create a doll that looks like the son of a coworker. She requested the colors and patterns of the clothes that is included with this pattern. She also requested that I use black buttons for his eyes. Everyone using this pattern is open to do the eyes however they want to. If I was not requested to use buttons, I would embroider the eyes on the doll.
