Arms joining
The step of putting wire in the arms is
completely optional and it’s up to you if you
decide to use or not use wire to articulate the
arms, instead you can just sew the arms to the
F8 F9
body.
In case you want to use wire, then: cut a piece
of wire the length of the arms and body plus
5 cm, fold one end as shown in F5 and cover it
with tape (F6). Pass the unfolded end through
the whole body, at the height of round 30 (F7)
and insert an arm, making sure that the thumb
points forward (F8). With the long tail from the
arm, sew it to the body (F9) always sewing at F10
the height of the 30th round (not the last round
you crocheted).
Fold the other end of the wire and cover it with
tape (F10). Sew the second arm in the same
way as the first one (F11). Now continue making
the body:

Peppermint candy
The candies are worked with the Jacquard
technique, which means that in the same round,
you will change the colors. The color you will
have to change to is defined by the color of the
letters in the pattern

sc = in red color
