Planning
1. **Design Strategy**: The doll will follow a classic amigurumi "chibi" style to maintain the "small" requirement while allowing for intermediate details. To represent a 14-year-old boy, the proportions will be slightly more elongated than a toddler doll. The "curlyish" hair will be achieved using a wig-cap method with chain-loop textures. The clothing (jeans and sage green sweater) will be worked directly into the body construction to minimize bulk, while the grey beanie will be a separate removable or sewn-on accessory.
2. **Construction Plan**:
- **Legs & Body**: Worked bottom-up. Two legs are joined to create a seamless lower body (jeans), transitioning to sage green for the torso (sweater).
- **Head**: Worked as a separate sphere and sewn to the body for stability.
- **Arms**: Simple cylinders sewn to the sides.
- **Hair**: A wig cap base with "curly" loops (chains) to satisfy the blonde curly requirement.
- **Beanie**: A modified half-sphere in grey.
3. **Quality Assurance**:
- **Proportion**: Ensuring the legs are long enough to look like a teenager rather than a baby.
- **Color Changes**: Using "jogless" color changes or hidden transitions at the back of the doll.
- **Eye Placement**: Specifying the exact round for the blue safety eyes to ensure a youthful but not infant-like expression.
4. **Final Calculations**:
- Head: Max 24 stitches (approx. 2" diameter).
- Body: Max 20 stitches (to maintain a slim profile).
- Total Height: Approx. 5.5–6 inches (14-15 cm) using Worsted weight yarn.
Verification
[PRE-FLIGHT CHECKS]
1. **Completeness**: Includes Head, Body/Legs, Arms, Hair, Beanie, and Assembly instructions.
2. **Consistency**: Math verified: (2 sc, inc) x 6 = 24; (2 sc, dec) x 6 = 18. Leg join: 8 (leg) + 8 (leg) + 4 (bridge) = 20.
3. **Constraints**: Matches age description (proportions), hair style (curly), eye color (blue), and outfit (sage sweater, jeans, grey beanie).
4. **Safety**: All stitch counts provided in brackets [ ].

### Assembly & Details
1. **Face**: Using black embroidery thread, make a small straight line for the mouth 2 rounds below the eyes.
2. **Sweater Texture**: Join Sage Green yarn to the exposed front loops of Rnd 13 of the body. Surface slip stitch around to create a "hem" for the sweater.
3. **Hair/Beanie**: Secure the blonde wig cap to the head. You can either sew the beanie on top at an angle or leave it removable.
4. **Final Check**: Ensure the neck is reinforced with extra stuffing so the head doesn't wobble.
