Later on while crocheting you should make sure that the marker stays in the center of the back
of the leg so that the line of where you change yarn color does not move towards the front. For
that you can crochet an extra sc if needed and move the marker.

making sure that the leg is not flat.

rows).
Cut off the brown colored thread leaving a long tail for sewing. Cut off the cream colored
thread altogether and fix the end, then hide it between the rows.
Assembling of the toy
Fold the body of the toy so that the marker is in the center of the back side. Fold the upper
parts of the legs in half so that the front of the shoes face you. Attach the external stitches on
the sides of the body with the external stitches on the sides of the legs (see photo). Attach the
legs to the body by sewing around the legs using the connecting stitches grabbing both the
stitches of the legs and the stitches of the body in turns. You could also sew the legs on to the
body with the help of the needle if it is more comfortable for you. Once the legs are sewn to the
body, stuff loosely the body so it takes shape of the body and keeps it without being too firm. If
you want the doll to be seated easily and move his legs, do not stuff the body tightly in its lower
part. Then sew together the opening of the body using the connecting stitches.
the neck tightly through the opening in the
upper part of the body.
Fix the head onto the body with the help of yarn
needles and attach it sewing in the round. The
head should be sturdy without leaning.
Stuff the arms not too tightly up to a bit
above the middle. Fix them with sewing
pins to the body and attach them sewing in
the round. If you want the shoulders to look
more natural press them with an iron
through a wet cloth.
The Hair
Crochet Hook 3 mm. Yarn in light-yellow color.
Try the «hat» on – it should fit very tightly on the head of your doll and not come down the
head too much. I had to crochet 13 rows for the «hat» of my doll. The «hat» for your doll could
take more rows or less taking into consideration the yarn you are using and the thickness of
your crocheting. If when crocheting approximately the 7 th row you see that you don’t need to
add any more rows, then do not add any. If see that you need more increases, do one more row
of them ((7 sc, 1 ins) 6 times), and then crochet the rows of 52 stitches.

R 7: (5 sc, 1 inc) 6 times (42)
R 8: (6 sc, 1 inc) 6 times (48)
R 9-13: 1sc in each st around (48)
Cut off the thread leaving a long tail for sewing.
Wind the yarn around the piece of carton in size (14,5″ x 3,5″) and cut the yarn along one of the
sides.
For the hat not to move fix it onto the head of the toy with the help of the pins. Do not put it too
far on the forehead otherwise the hair will cover all the face. Sew on the hat to the head
following the last row of the crochet.
Now we are going to attach the hair. Take the prepared cut hairs and, following the first
row of the hat, start attaching the hairs as in the photos.
Do not attach the hairs too close to each other – leave the distance between the hairs about 0.8
cm or (0,3inch), then you will see where to add the hairs when needed.
Go up 0,5 cm (0,2 inch) from the first row of the hairs and start to insert the hairs in a
checkerboard pattern. Continue until you fill all “hat” with hairs.
Cut the hair of the doll in the way that you like. Do not cut it a lot at once, try to cut gradually
forming the desired haircut. With the help of a blusher add some color to the cheeks.
That is all! Now you can dress up the Doll!
