Attaching the Dress

After finishing the body (Round 18), do not crochet further. Sew 6 squares edge-to-edge around the lower half of the body for the skirt. Sew 3-4 more squares above for the bodice area.

How to Sew: Use whip stitch and sew through both loops of each square edge. For best results, align corners precisely and pull stitches snug but not tight. Overlap slightly between rows to achieve the layered patchwork look.

Bib (Purple – slightly wider version)

Rows 2-9: ch 1, turn, sc across (13).

FO and sew at chest, centered on front of body.

Straps (Purple – Make 2)

Ch 22, sc back, FO.

Attach one end of each strap to bib corners, cross over back in an “X,” and sew ends to back of shirt (around Round 20). Sew small purple buttons to front of bib where straps meet.

Patches: Make 2-3 small granny squares (as above) and sew onto pants or bib for a “mended” look.

Hair

R1: 6 sc in magic ring (6)

R2: inc x6 (12)

R3: [sc 1, inc] x6 (18)

R4: [sc 2, inc] x6 (24)

R5: [sc 3, inc] x6 (30)

R6: [sc 4, inc] x6 (36)

R7-12: sc around (36)

FO.

Attaching Hair:

Cut 100-120 strands total (≈80 orange, 40 black), each 16-18 cm long. Using fringe method, attach after sewing the cap onto the head — this ensures perfect alignment.

Sew cap onto head, front edge around Round 8, back edge near Round 12.
Attach yarn strands evenly into every stitch on the cap.
Gather sides into high side ponytails (at ear level).
Tie each ponytail tightly 2-3 cm from the head.

Ch 6, sc 5 for 8 rows. Wrap center with ch 4 strip, sew in middle. Attach bows on top of ponytail ties.

No cap required — attach strands directly to head.

Cut 80-100 strands (13-15 cm long). Start at Round 8 (forehead line) and attach in a straight strip 8-10 stitches wide across the center top of the head, ending at Round 4 near the crown. Work 2-3 rows of dense fringe. Brush all strands upward, trim to 5-7 cm, and optionally apply diluted fabric stiffener or hairspray to keep spikes upright.

Face Details

Embroider large “X” eyes with thick black thread.
Sew buttons directly over each X so the stitches show behind.
Embroider wide curved smile (4-5 cm) in black, 3-4 passes thick.
Add 6-8 short vertical stitches across smile to form the teeth.

Assembly

Attach the head securely to the body at the neck, using a tapestry needle and yarn. Position the arms on either side of the body, aligning them with the body’s top edge, approximately 4 stitches apart for each arm. The legs should be attached at the bottom of the body, ensuring they are evenly balanced on the surface. For facial features, position the safety eyes between R12 and R14 of the head, spaced about 6 stitches apart. Sew on the cheeks and embroider the mouth to complete the face.
