Here is my pattern for Amanda, an 18 inch (45cm) fabric doll. I have traced the pattern pieces onto 1 inch (2.5cm) square paper. One quarter inch seam allowance is included on all pieces.

This pattern is my original design and may not be used commercially.
The pattern pieces are on the following 2 pictures. The first is the body, arms and pattern for tracing the facial features. The second picture is the legs.
To make your 1 inch square grid graph paper
First, take an 8.5x11 inch piece of plain paper and draw 1 inch squares - I do this by drawing horizontal lines 1 inch apart down the page, and then vertical lines 1 inch apart across the page.
Next, looking at the .jpg image you want to enlarge, copy what is in each of my squares into your larger squares.
I embroider the eyes, nose and mouth in 6-strand floss before sewing doll together.

Charity Note:
I'd like to suggest that if you spend time making doll clothes, anyway, that you collect a few dolls from friends and neighbors and sew a wardrobe or a complete outfit for each doll. Then donate the doll in the completed outfit to a charity that distributes used dolls and toys to kids that otherwise would not have any.
