Stuff the head rather tight, especially the cheeks and nape

18rnd - (1dec, 1sc)х6 (12)

19rnd - 6dec (6)
Add some stufng in the top of the head, tighten the left stitches, leave a long thread
(for the embroidering of the nose and crocheting of the ears)
 Ears
First crochet the left ear. Directly along the side, between the 5 and 6 rows of the head
put the marker. Insert a thread left at the top of the head in a needle and take it out
from the top of the head in the marker of the ear and draw it out. Now insert the hook
from the side of the face and crochet with this thread 4 ch.
Then insert a needle in the last stitch and tighten (look the photo)
Now insert a needle in the stitch a little bit upper, between the 6 and 7 rows of the head
and fasten the ear.

Crochet the right ear similarly, to do this put the marker between the 6 and 7 rows
of the head at the right side, and fasten between the 5 and 6 rows.
 Nose
Put the marker of the nose in the middle of the face between the 6 and 7 rows of the head.

Take out the very same thread left from the ears to the left of the marker, return at the right
of the marker and make 2-3 stitches.
Then take out a needle at the nape, fasten off and cut the yarn.

Arms
1rnd - 5 sc in MR (5)
2-12rnd - 5sc (5)
Cut the yarn, leaving a long end enough for sewing of the arm.
Cut the wire of a suitable length for the frame of the arms and insert it throughout the body
of the doll at the level of the shoulders. Make the loops at the ends of the wire as you did
at the legs.

It is necessary to widen the arms beforehand, inserting the pincers or a thin stick,
so as it will be easier to pull the arms on the wire.

Pull the arm on the wire and sew them to the body.

With the help of the pliers bend the feet at the legs and slightly bend the legs in the
knees with your arms

The base of the doll is ready!

Now you can decorate its face
and hair-do on your discretion
and crochet any clothes.
