ASSEMBLY
Attach the head crest on the head, like the picture
below. Align front of head crest with first round of
the head. Before closing up the back crest, add some
stuffing. Tips how to attach the piece, check my insta-
gram reel:
https://www.instagram.com/reel/CarUunxJevi/
Attach the head to the body, between rounds 14 and
22 of the head. The head should be tilted down-
wards. Also make sure the head are aligned and
equal on both sides. Check all angles before you
attach the head.

sew, pin the tail to the body and place it on a flat ta-
ble. If body and tail touches the table, then attach it.
Last, attach the back shield to the back of the body
and tail. Place the end where the slst are at the tip of
the tail.
Sew it in a zig-zag way by drawing the needle
through the body under the shield, and then in again
through the shield.

Read more about and see how to make the legs

moveable with just yarn on page 13 and 14.
If you will sew the legs to the body. Place them
between rounds 8 and 16. Before you sew, pin both
legs to the body and place it on a flat table. If body
and legs touches the table, then attach them.

Attach the arms on each side of the body between

rounds 22 and 27. Sew them on the side as shown
below, so the arms stays close to the body.

Done!

MOVEABLE LEGS
How to make moveable legs:
There is two option to make moveable legs. One is with security joints and the other you can use same yarn
as you crochet with.

Pros and cons for using security joints/doll joints.

Pros = this is a great and secured way to have the legs moveable and still not risk it to come out. They sit
really steady, even better than security eyes.
Cons = It will cost little bit extra. You can buy these in many hobby stores where you can buy other parts of
doll making. Use the size after the yarn weight. Use smaller joints for thinner yarn.
Another con is that since the joints and locks are very hard pressed against each other, it’s not super smooth
to move the legs up and down. To move them, you need to grab the leg very close to the body and turn it.

Pros and cons for using just yarn.

Pros = it will not cost you any extra. The legs are also very easy to move up and down.
Cons = after a while the yarn will lose its tense. This means that thelegs can feel loose and it’s too moveable.
But the good thing about this is that you can easy just cut the yarn off and replace it with new yarn by follow
the steps on the next page again.

How to use security joints*:

One joint consists of 3 pieces. One joint, Before you insert the joint, make a big Insert the joint into the leg, from the inside.
one washer and one lock. hole with help of the hook, or something
else similar.

The “head” of the joint will be on the
inside of the leg.
Insert the leg with the joint into the body.
Inside the body we will now lock the joint.
First insert the washer (the bigger one) into
the joint. And then insert the lock – the
one with a ribbed hole. Press it in all the
way and as much as you can. Use some
kind of tool to press it even more to make
it as secured as possible.

HOW TO MAKE MOVEABLE LEGS
WITH YARN:
1. First pin the legs to the body and make
sure that both are balanced and touching the
ground together with body.
4. Pull the yarn until you have a small yarn tail
left on the first leg.
7. And then in again on exact same place
where you insert the needle on step 2.
10. Take out the pins. Check that the legs are
moving good and not to loose or too tight.

and cut it. Make the same on the other leg.
13. Taadaa! Now you can move the
legs up and down as you wish. You can
make same steps for the arms.
One suggestion is to use a button on
each side of the leg. Insert the needle
through the button, starting from
step 2. You can, in step 10,
tie a knot behind the button.
