Hat:

Row 26 – 31 Color D. (hat). Ch1. Sc in first stitch and each st to end of row. (6 rows).

You should have a rectangle with color blocks. Fold work in half, match color blocks and join seam with each color tail that you have left. Weave ends into work

Turn inside out so that the sewn seam is to the inside. Fill will polyester stuffing until doll is a reasonable size. This is something that will be a personal decision as to what looks best. Too much filling will pull the stitches apart and too little will make a ‘skinny’ doll. So, use your judgment.

Closing The Hat:

Once you have filled the doll to your liking sew the hat closed at the top.

Using Color C and yarn needle, anchor yarn at the beginning and weave yarn through all single crochets. Once you’ve made it back to the beginning pull the hat closed fasten off.

You can be as creative as you like with added embellishments such as lace, crocheted bow, belt, buttons, ‘hair’. All embellishments should be crocheted or embroidered.

Eyes and Mouth:

Using embroidery thread or yarn and add eyes and a mouth.
