How do I make a doll of myself?

guys…HELP! I really want to crochet a doll of myself (like coraline did in the movie but mine would be amigurumi style) but I have no idea where to start! I might have found a base pattern here, but I have no idea how to crochet hair, and my hair is curly, short, has bangs, and is layered! And I also am clueless on how to crochet clothes and what yarn would be the best to use! For reference, this is my hair now:


And this is the doll style I’m going for:

For the hair you can look up a “curly hair crochet tutorial” or smt like this as I’ve been seeing some patterns, for the clothes idrk it might be hard to find a pattern that fits this doll so you can give it a try and get a clothes pattern and customized the size urself (I do it a lot could be hard but really helpful)
BTW U R SO GORGEOUS!!! love Ur hair since day one :raised_hand:t2::heart_on_fire:

You can crochet the hair and it will be a bit more permanent or you can use frogged yarn and it’s curly too but it might loose its curl over time…
