•Attach 1 by one on each chain. Ten on one side (loop) of the chain, 10 on the other side loop of the chain.
ASSEMBLY
- Fasten the cape with two simple knots around the witch’s neck. Here I left the remaining yarn hanging on her chest. Pay attention to the slip stitch around her neck to be facing outside.
- Sew the arms in the first 3 slip stitches on each side of the cape.
- Place the hair in the central part of the head, leaving the threads falling on the sides. Sew one of the ends of the chains in the front of the toy, on the central part of round 4, and the other ending of the chains in the back of the head in the central stitch of round 8. The idea here is the “lack of hair“. If you wish for the hair to be full, just add more strings to it.
- Embroider the eyes in round 8 of her face, leaving 3 stitches between them.
- NOSE: introduce the needle between rounds 8 and 9, under the eye. Chain 4, Skip the first chain and make 1sl, 1sc, 1hdc
- Place the hat on her head and sew it on her head.
- Organize the hair before sewing the hat on her head, bringing a couple of hair strings to the back.
