<strong>GAGE:</strong> Gage is not important as long as the same size thread and hook are used for all<br />
the pattern pieces. However, since tension can vary in different circumstances, it is<br />
suggested that when making two pieces that must be the same, such as arms and legs, that<br />
you complete both in one sitting.<br />

<strong>SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS:</strong><br />
<strong>ADJUSTABLE RING:</strong> Grasp the yarn between your thumb and forefinger, leaving a<br />
tail at the beginning. Wrap the thread over and around the index finger clockwise,<br />
crossing the thread at the top of the finger. Insert the hook underneath the front thread<br />
that you just crossed, then catch the back thread with the hook, and pull a loop of the<br />
back thread from underneath. Slip the loop off the finger, grasping the working end in<br />
the left hand as if to begin crocheting. Chain 1, work number of stitches required into the<br />
ring. Pull up a long loop, then, grasping the stitches just made with the right hand and<br />
tail with left (or vice versa), pull to tighten ring. Insert hook into long loop and tighten<br />
back against hook. Making sure tail is to the back, skip first chain worked and continue<br />
working pattern.<br />
<strong>DC2TOG:</strong> Decrease in double crochet: *YOH and insert hook into next stitch, YO and<br />
pull up a loop, YOH and pull through 2 loops on hook; ** repeat * to ** once, YOH and<br />
pull through remaining loops on hook.<br />
<strong>REV-SC:</strong> Insert hook into the stitch immediately to the right, yoh and bring up a loop,<br />
YO and pull through both loops on hook.<br />
<strong>IMPORTANT NOTE ON STUFFING:</strong> The way that you stuff your doll can greatly<br />
affect the quality of the finished product, especially if you are thread-jointing. You&#8217;ll be<br />
amazed at the quantity of stuffing that each piece requires. The doll should be stuffed<br />
firmly so that it won&#8217;t lose its shape, but not so firmly that the stitches are pulled apart to<br />
the extent that the stuffing shows through in a distracting manner.<br />
<strong>WEAVING/HIDING LOOSE THREAD ENDS:</strong> When making the doll, you can hide<br />
the loose ends by pulling them to the inside of the piece with a tapestry needle. Pass the<br />
needle through the piece 2 or 3 times to anchor the thread end (always go in and come out<br />
between stitches, being careful not to catch any fabric), then pull the thread taut, and clip<br />
close to the surface so that it disappears inside.<br />
For other pattern pieces, it&#8217;s best to weave all loose ends as you finish each piece. If you<br />
can&#8217;t hide the beginning tail by working over it for a few stitches, leave a tail that is long<br />
enough to enable you to thread it onto a needle to weave it. When you fasten off, always<br />
leave a tail that is long enough to thread onto a needle and weave.<br />
<strong>TO WEAVE LOOSE ENDS:</strong> Thread the tail onto a needle. Working on the WS of the<br />
piece and beginning directly beneath the place where you fastened off, insert the needle<br />
underneath and through the upper loops of fabric for a length of 4 or 5 stitches, and then<br />
turn and repeat through 2 or 3 of the same stitches in the opposite direction.<br />

• Hide loose end using method described in &#8220;Special Instructions&#8221; above.<br />
You may alternatively sew the head and limbs to the body, in which case you will<br />
omit the jointing steps.<br />
<strong>FACIAL FEATURES</strong><br />
<strong>Tip:</strong> When you are making a piece that will be sewn to the doll, leave a tail at the<br />
beginning, so that after you have sewn the piece in place, you&#8217;ll be able to thread the tail<br />
onto a needle and pull it inside the doll to hide it.<br />
<strong>NOSE:</strong><br />
1. With same thread as head, begin with an adjustable ring, make 6 sc in ring OR ch 2<br />
with skin color, 6 sc in 2nd ch from hook; do not join. (6 sc)<br />
2. (2 sc in next sc, sc in next sc) 3 times. (9 sc)<br />
• Do not turn right side out. The WS will be the outside of the nose.<br />
3. Sc in ea sc around; FO, leaving long end. (9 sc)<br />
• Stuff the nose lightly.<br />
• Mark the center of the face where the thread marker is placed, then remove the<br />
thread. Using the long end, sew the nose to the face directly over the center mark. Make<br />
sure the nose remains centered as you sew.<br />
<strong>ATTACH EYES:</strong> Use pins (the kind with round glass heads are good for this) to locate<br />
the eye positions (see illustration on page 7). Sew the eyes on with black nylon or other<br />
strong thread: Begin by threading a sturdy needle, such as a milliner&#8217;s needle, with nylon<br />
or other strong thread. Do not knot the end. If using wire-looped eyes, crimp the wire loop with pliers (if it&#8217;s not pre-crimped) until you can just get your needle through the<br />
loop; insert the needle through the loop (or bead), and then remove the thread from the<br />
needle. (If you can&#8217;t get your needle through the wire or bead, insert the<br />
thread through first, then thread it onto the needle.) Thread both ends<br />
back onto the needle, and then insert the needle into the first eye location.<br />
*Bring the needle out the back or bottom of the head (depending on the<br />
angle you want), pulling the thread until the wire loop touches the face.<br />
Insert the crimped loop into the same place where the needle went in (use<br />
a larger needle to make a tunnel for the loop if necessary), pushing it<br />
flush against the face. Pull gently but firmly on the thread to slightly imbed the eye into<br />
the face. Keeping the thread taut so as not to allow the eye to<br />
loosen, insert the needle back into the exact place,** then push<br />
through the head and out at the second eye location. Insert the<br />
threaded needle through the eye wire or bead (once again, if your<br />
needle won&#8217;t go through the opening, remove the thread from the<br />
needle, insert it through the eye wire or bead, then rethread the<br />
needle). Insert the needle into the 2nd eye location, then repeat * to<br />
** to attach the 2nd eye, bringing the needle out finally at the bottom of the head. Tie off<br />
the ends with a surgeon&#8217;s knot (see illustration at right), then thread the ends onto the<br />
needle and insert back into the head in the same place where the knot is; pull though the<br />
head. Clip ends close to the surface so that they disappear inside the head.<br />
<strong>EYEBROWS (MAKE 2):</strong><br />
1. Using two strands hair color (flaming orange or pumpkin) ch 6, sl st in 2nd ch from<br />
hook, sc in next 3 sc, sl st in last ch; FO, leaving long end for sewing. (5 sc)<br />
• WS is the front. The &#8220;furring&#8221; is optional; gently brush the eyebrows until they are<br />
slightly fuzzy, always brushing in one direction, away from what will be the inside edge.<br />
Trim any unruly ends, and then pin the brows above the eyes in the desired location.<br />
Carefully sew them to the face using the long tail.<br />
<strong>MOUTH:</strong><br />
Using 6 strands of red embroidery floss, embroider a horizontal straight stitch below the<br />
nose, letting the thread arc downward in the center so that the mouth will be in the shape<br />
of a smile. Catch the center of the smile with a tiny stitch to hold it in place. Make a<br />
shorter straight stitch directly below and touching the mouth, and another directly above<br />
and touching the mouth.<br />
<strong>DEFINE FEATURES WITH NEEDLE SCULPTING (OPTIONAL):</strong><br />
*Thread a long needle with upholstery thread or crochet thread in a color that is similar to<br />
the face; do not double, knot the end. Insert the needle into the bottom of the head and<br />
bring it out just above the first corner of the mouth. (Always go in and out between<br />
stitches, trying not to catch any fabric. Use your pliers to help you pull the needle<br />
through if necessary.) Tug gently to pull the knot inside the head. Insert the needle back<br />
into the face close to the place where the needle came out, and bring it out the back of the<br />
head; pull to indent the corner of the mouth slightly. Insert the needle back into the head<br />
in the same place where it came out,* and bring it out at the opposite corner of the mouth.<br />
Repeat * to *, coming back out the back of the head once more. Insert the needle back<br />
into the same place where it came out, and out at the lower outside corner of the first eye,<br />
then back into the face a very short distance from the exit point, and out the back of the<br />
head. Pull to indent slightly. **Go back into the head again, and out at the inner edge of<br />
the eye, then back into the face a short distance from the exit point and out the back of the<br />
head.** Repeat ** to ** for the second eye.<br />
• Us a pink pencil or makeup blush to shade the cheeks, and to lightly shade the end of<br />
the nose.<br />

<strong>JOIN:</strong><br />
Because we don&#8217;t want to add unnecessary bulk to the jacket, we need to sew the seams<br />
with a ladder stitch. To refresh your memory: Place the two pieces to be joined side by<br />
side with edges touching. Insert a threaded needle underneath both loops of the 1st sc on<br />
the first piece, then underneath both loops of the corresponding sc on the second piece.<br />
Turn and reverse the process, going underneath the loops of the second sc on the second<br />
piece, then underneath the loops of the next sc of the first piece. Pull on the thread gently<br />
to bring the pieces together. (See illustration on page 10.) There will be times when you<br />
are working in row ends instead of single crochet stitches. Use the same procedure,<br />
matching up row ends as you sew back and forth.<br />
• Join at center back: Thread a tapestry needle with the same thread used to make the<br />
jacket. Place the two pieces of the jacket with back edges together. Beginning at the<br />
top edge, sew the two pieces together using a ladder stitch in the top loops only of<br />
each corresponding sc. Do not work the last 5 stitches at the bottom. Push the<br />
needle through and turn the piece over. Repeat the ladder stitching on this side,<br />
using the free lps of each sc.<br />
• Join at shoulders: Thread a tapestry needle with the same thread used to make the<br />
jacket. Place the edges of the front and back shoulders together, and join using a<br />
ladder stitch.<br />
<strong>NECK TRIM:</strong><br />

<strong>WRIST RUFFLES (Optional):</strong><br />
These are a bit fussy to make, but if you have the patience, they look<br />
especially cute with the jabot. Unfortunately, they have to be added after<br />
the jacket is on the doll, because if done before arms are attached, they<br />
add bulk that makes it very difficult to get the jacket over the hands.<br />
You may want to take a break between working the two ruffles. Picture<br />
on the left is me after I did them both without taking a break.<br />
