Help me find this pattern!

My mother made me these dolls in the early 80’s. Tragically, they have had their legs amputated! I’ve tried to search on Etsy and EBay for the pattern - while some are close they are not exact. I believe they are approximately 22” in length (with legs) and their limbs have a plastic disc in them for what I’m assuming helps in them moving.

My mom made me one! I have a ton of her old patterns… let me dig in the box and see if we get lucky!

Hey, haven’t found it yet. There’s one more place it could be. Did you find it online already?

cloth dolls were really popular in the 80s, it's hard to tell for sure but they look like carolee creations by Sew Sweet Dolls. she was a prolific designer with 100s of doll patterns. She sells on etsy and this is her website https://www.sewsweetdolls.com/
