After crocheting the second leg, DO NOT cut the yarn; we will continue to join the body.

Body & Dress Joining ​Round 21 (Joining): From the second leg, chain 3 and join to the first leg with a sc. Crochet 14 sc around the first leg, 3 sc along one side of the chain, 14 sc around the second leg, and 3 sc along the opposite side of the chain.

Fasten off. ​3. Arms (Make 2) ​Stuff only the lower hands lightly; leave the upper arms unstuffed. ​Round 1: In skin color, 6 sc in MR (6) ​Round 2: (1 sc, 1 inc) * 3 (9) ​Rounds 3-15: (13 rounds) 9 sc ​Round 16: Flatten the opening and crochet across both sides with 4 sc to close.

Fasten off.

Side Braids (Make 2) ​Cut long strands of blue yarn. Loop and knot them onto the sides of the hair cap (just above the ear positions) using your crochet hook. ​Braid the strands tightly to form two thick braids. Secure the ends with blue yarn, leaving a flared tassel look at the bottom. ​5. Red Artist Beret ​The stitch count is purposely wider than the head to give it that puffy, oversized beret look. ​Round 1: 6 sc in MR (6) ​Round 2: 6 inc (12) ​Round 3: (1 sc, 1 inc) * 6 (18) ​Round 4: (2 sc, 1 inc) * 6 (24) ​Round 5: (3 sc, 1 inc) * 6 (30) ​Round 6: (4 sc, 1 inc) * 6 (36) ​Round 7: (5 sc, 1 inc) * 6 (42) ​Round 8: (6 sc, 1 inc) * 6 (48) ​Round 9: (7 sc, 1 inc) * 6 (54) ​Round 10: (8 sc, 1 inc) * 6 (60) ​Round 11: (9 sc, 1 inc) * 6 (66) ​Rounds 12-18: (7 rounds) 66 sc ​Round 19: (9 sc, 1 dec) * 6 (60) ​Round 20: (8 sc, 1 dec) * 6 (54) ​Round 21: 54 sc around to create a snug band that grips the head.

Paint Palette (Beige / Light Brown) ​Round 1: Chain 8. Starting from the second chain from hook: 6 sc, 3 sc in the last chain stitch. Turn to work along the opposite side of the chain: 5 sc, 1 inc. ​Round 2: 1 inc, 5 sc, 3 inc, 5 sc, 2 inc. ​Fasten off once you have an oval palette shape. For the paint dollops, crochet tiny magic rings (5 sc in MR) using colorful yarn (blue, yellow, red, orange) and stitch or glue them onto the palette.

​????️ Paintbrush ​Handle (Light Brown): 5 sc in MR. Work about 10 rounds of 5 sc to make a stick. Optional: Insert a cotton swab stick or wire inside to keep it sturdy. ​Metal Ferrule: Switch to silver/grey yarn and work 2 rounds of 5 sc. ​Brush Bristles & Tip: Attach red yarn to the tip. Make a textured popcorn stitch for the brush bristles, then chain a few stitches extending down to mimic dripping paint. ​???? Assembly & Details ​Head & Body: Sew the head onto the neck. Tip: Insert a plastic support or a thick wire inside the neck so the large head doesn't wobble. ​Facial Features: Use black embroidery floss to stitch a winking curved line with eyelashes on the right eye. Use red floss to embroider a wide, cheerful smile. Stitch a small nose right between the eyes using skin-color yarn. ​Dress Splatters: Use embroidery floss (yellow, blue, red) to randomly stitch small spots or French knots onto the green dress to look like paint stains. ​Sew the arms symmetrically around Round 40 of the body. Secure the paintbrush in one hand and the palette in the other. ​Secure the hair cap onto the head, then place the beret on top, tilting it slightly to the side for style, and pin/sew it down.
