Rnd 18: Ch 1, Reverse sc (crab st) in each st. (132) Fasten off, sew in ends not being used for braids or
sewing.

Sewing triangles together: Using needle & Green strand


Holding both triangles together & matching up the rows, sew
the sides together doing 1 whip st per row (you can pull on
the strand a bit to give it a nice curve). Fasten off sew in ends.
You can either put a small amount of stuffing up to row 14 of
the triangle or… shove the string lights inside to make it
EXTRA awesome.

Braids: Make 2. You can make yours the length & thickness you like. This is how I do mine.
Cut 6 strands of each color 52” (4ft 4”), fold strands in half, insert hook in the “corner” of hood going from
inside to out, pull loop through a little bit, pull all strands through loop, pull tight. I separated my colors, 6
strands of each color on the left & 6 on the right, crisscross green, crisscross brown, crisscross black, knot
at desired length.

Maggots: I made 3
Starting with 1 strand Color (C) & F hook (4mm)
Ch 12, hdc in 3rd & nxt9bb. Fasten off leaving a long
enough tail for sewing together & onto doll. Fold
hdc sts in half with wrong side facing out, I start by
going through the knot on the other side, then whip
st together going through outer loops only (while
you’re sewing pull the strand tight, it will make
your maggots curl). Don’t sew in end.

And Everyone’s least favorite part,


Sewing pieces on & Stitches:
Start by folding your hood in half to find the center
of the hood, you can either run a strand of yarn or
just put a pin there.
*Pin the bottom Black portion of eyes halfway
through the 5th row up from the base & 4sts apart
(the brows are almost touching when folded over),
the top corner of the eye is slightly on the 9th row.
*Pin on the mouth (you’ll probably have to adjust it
later, but it’s so you get an idea of how it will look),
there’s no up or down portion of the mouth, my
center tr inc is on top & halfway through the 4th
row, now curve the mouth around the eyes & finish
pinning.

*Eyes: Using a needle & the black strand of the eyes.. whip st the
base of the eyes onto hood going into the top sts of hood & the
outer loops of the sl sts, sew in end. When sewing the outer
portion of the eyes try to get it as close as possible to outer sts
you just sewed. Using the brown strands sew outer portion of
eyes onto hood going into the top sts of the hood & the outer
loops of the outer eyes, fasten off sew in ends.

*Mouth: Reposition the mouth if you need to, keep in mind the lips won’t be sewn down at all so it’s ok if
parts are pretty close to the eyes. Using needle & brown strand.. whip st the base of the mouth onto hood
going into the top sts of hood & the outer loops of sl sts (there’s a lot of sts on the mouth so if you need to
sk a st here & there it’s okay, just don’t do it too often & never sk more than 1 at a time. Fasten off, sew in
ends.

*Mouth stitches: I cut a long strand of #4 weight Black yarn & pulled out 1 strand (you can also use a #3
if you have it). Using the Darning needle.. Start with strand coming out the inner base of lips (it’s still on
the black of the mouth though), wrap around to outer base of lips & insert needle in same spot going
through base of lip and through the beginning strand, pull on strand a tad to make an indent (1st st
complete), insert needle along inner edge of mouth coming out where you want the next st to be & repeat
the st process. Click on YouTube link for help with mouth & hood stiches. https://youtu.be/S0QJ6F2VRkE

*Hood stitches: I cut a long strand of #4 weight Black yarn & pulled out 1 strand (you can also use a #3 if
you have it). I started mine at the top knot from the braids, curved the line till I got to the triangle seam,
then worked my way down the other side. Using the Darning needle & working in the top sts of the
hood… Line up yarn to where you want the nxt st to be, insert needle through strand & coming out the
length of half a st, pull through, wrap yarn around to other side the length of half a st, insert needle
coming out through the yarn of the beginning st & the strand on the other side, slightly pull on it & repeat
process. Click on YouTube link for help with mouth & hood stiches. https://youtu.be/S0QJ6F2VRkE

*Maggots: I sew my maggots down in 2 places, first I whip st around the


base of the end with the strand, then weave my needle to wherever a
curve is touching & do a couple sts there.

*Shading:
Using Paintbrush & Fabric Paint
After sewing on the maggots I dry brushed around them with fabric
paint to dirty them up, I also did where the Brown yarn is touching the
Black on the eyes & Mouth. Dip just the end of the dry paintbrush in the
paint & rub it off a bit.

Whoo Hoo! Sewing & sts are done :) I hope you enjoyed making Burlap Chap.
