Crochet Panda Girl Doll- Pattern

  It's been a little while since I last posted. It's been quite a stressful time for me the past few months and I've been trying to figure out what I want to do.
  I've been working on a few different crochet and sewing projects. I made a pair of crochet slippers, but I always fail at slippers. I've tried several patterns for crochet slippers and every one of them has left me in discomfort, and now I've got a corner with unwanted slippers. I sincerely love the way crochet slippers look, but they pinch my feet :(. I keep thinking my feet must be extra sensitive, but I've stepped on a tack before without even feeling it, so???
  Anyway, I have a few patterns that I've finished and am currently working on a few different crochet as well as fabric owls patterns. But for today I wanted to post the pattern for my cute crochet panda girl doll, so here it is;
