US English pattern by Lemon Yarn Creations. Includes step-by-step pictures.

The Portuguese Minho doll represents the “Lavradeira” costume from Viana do Castelo in the Minho region in northern Portugal. This traditional outfit originated in the 19th century and was worn by rural women during special occasions and festivities.
With this crochet pattern, you can create your Portuguese Minho doll, embellish her outfit with embroidery details, and bring a piece of Portuguese culture into your home.

The main part of this project is worked in rounds, so you might want to use a stitch marker to mark the end of each round. There is no specific gauge for this project, just try to keep it tight and even throughout each piece. The Portuguese Minho Doll measures approx. 13.5cm (5.3in), when using the same yarn and tools indicated below.
