Question
I've been looking for a crochet pattern BettyBoop doll.Can you please help me find one? It's for a good friend of mine.I don't want to sew one,I want to crochet one 18-22in tall. Thank You very much.

Answer
Whenever you need something that specific, the best place to start is with a Google search.  I went to google, and put in "crochet pattern" & "Betty Boop doll".  After much looking, all I could find was a Betty Boop doll with some crocheted clothing, a sewing pattern for a doll, and a crocheted Betty Boop potholder.

Sorry, I couldn't find anything close to what you're looking for, but possibly Betty Boop is still a copyright item, and no one can create and publish a pattern for the doll.

If your crochet skills are adequate, you could use the sewing pattern for a template, and crochet without a specific crochet pattern.
