Sew them to the sides of the lower body, and attach tiny beige paws (6 sc in MR, 5 rounds) at the bottom. Tail: Using beige yarn, 5 sc in MR. Crochet 8 rounds of 5 sc and sew to the back of the body. PART 3: ASSEMBLY & FINISHING TOUCHES 1. Putting It All Together Head & Body: Insert the supporting wire/rod from the neck up into the head to keep it sturdy. Sew the head securely onto the neck. Arms: Sew the arms to the sides of the body on Round 47 (just below the neck). Hair Wig: Center the hair wig over the head. Once positioned correctly, pin it in place and stitch it down invisibly. Hair Flowers: Crochet small white daisies and sew them onto the hair (Daisy pattern: In MR, repeat [Ch 2, 1 dc, ch 2, sl-st] 5 times to make 5 petals).
2. Stand (Base) A green base keeps the figures standing upright perfectly. Cut a sturdy circle from thick cardboard or a plastic lid (like a yogurt tub lid). Using green yarn, crochet two identical circles that match the size of your plastic base (start with 6 sc in MR and increase 6 stitches every round until it covers the plate). Place the plastic plate between the two crocheted circles and join them by single crocheting around the edges. Securely sew the girl's shoes and the dog's bottom to this green base. ???? Final Details Apply a touch of cosmetic blush to the doll's cheeks for a sweet, warm expression. Add a tiny white thread line just below the safety eyes to give them a lively sparkle. Enjoy bringing your cute orange-haired girl and her puppy to life!
