To finish
1. If you want your doll’s legs and arms to move, make wire structure.
You will need 2 pieces of wire: 32cm for legs and 20cm for arms and tape.
Put the longer wire in the body (between row 8 and 9) for legs and smaller
(between row 23 and 24) for arms. Fold the wire at the ends and secure them
with the tape. Insert the structure inside the legs (or arms) and sew legs (or
arms) to body.
If you don't want the doll's legs and arms to move, stuff them.
