around the second leg which will bring you back to the first leg where you then dc the rem 10sts to return
to where you attached your yarn, thus joining the legs together.
Continue on as follows working in spirals, stuffing firmly as you go:

the other side of the finger pieces working 3dc from 4th finger, 3dc from 3rd finger, 3dc from 2nd finger and
3dc from 1st finger. Fingers will now be joined in a circle making up a total of 24sts. The fifth finger

Fringe:
Attach yarn and *Ch20, slst into next st* rep along fringe portion of wig piece.
To Make Up:
Head & Body –
Shaping the eye sockets:
Using a long length of yarn in the same colour as the head, thread a needle and take it from the middle
of the underside of the head to the inner edge of one of the eyes, leaving a longish tail at the entry point
beneath the head. Work a stitch by taking it back down at the outer edge of the eye and through to the
tail left at the underside of the head. Tug both until the eye indents and tie them securely together,
weaving the ends away. Repeat with the other eye. Using dark pink or red thread, embroider a smile that
slants diagonally across two rows and two stitches to either the left or right. (See photo for visual
reference)
Attach completed head to neck of body and lightly dust cheeks with a little pale pink blusher.
Hair piece:
Sew one half of a press stud to each lower side edge of the wig and then a third at the middle point of the
lower row to. Fit the wig onto the doll’s head and mark the points with pins at the sides and back of her
head where the other halves of the press studs should go. Sew these halves into place with matching
pink thread.
Arms:
Cut a long length of yarn in the same colour as the body and arms. Insert your needle through the upper
inside of an arm and leaving a long tail, push it through the body from one side to the other at the point
where you want to attach the arms. Now insert your needle through the upper inside of the other arm and
go back through the body to the other side coming out at the same point you went into.
Repeat this step and then, pulling both ends of yarn tightly so that the arms pull snug against the sides of
the body, tie a double knot and weave the ends into the body.
