Hooks & Notions:

• Using the whip-stitch method, sew the two doll pieces together, using the outer loops of the SL ST stitches made all around the doll.
• No stuffing necessary.

  desired length is reached or use photo as guide.
• Cut approx. 26 x 26 cm lengths of yarn – depending on how many back loops you worked (2 lengths of yarn for every loop).
• Thread two at a time into your yarn needle.
• Inserting the needle around the SC worked in the back loop pull through just half of the yarn. Do this for each back loop.
• Note: you can tie small knots in the hair to avoid the hair being pulled out.
