TIP: If your starting stitch is in a different position than mine, the arms will be in a different position. To avoid that, find the 5 central stitches in the front of the doll. This should be the distance between one arm to another. Having these 5 central stitches, adjust the position of where you should crochet together the arm with the body.
• Stop here for stuffing the body before continuing to round 19.

ASSEMBLY
- Sew the ears between rounds 28 to 32 of the head.
- Fasten the mouth with pins to help you while sewing. Place the mouth on between rounds 21 and 22 of the head (or two rounds above the neck), finishing 6 rounds up.
- Embroider the eyes on round 28 of the toy, leaving 2 stitches between them. With yellow, embroider one line on the outside of the eye.
- With a piece of dark pink yarn, embroider the nose on top of the mouth, one round under the eyes.
- For the final detail, cut a little bit of dark pink yarn and add it on top of the head. I add about 10 pieces. Once you add them, use a comb or the needle to fuzzy the yarn. Then, cut the extra fuzzy yarn reaching the size of the hair you want (about the same height or a bit more than the ears).
