Assembly
Dress details:
• Complete this step before attaching the rest of the pieces as it makes it easier to do. Embroider the details onto the front of the body above the white color change. Use the image to the right as a guide.
Sleeves:
• Sew the top of the sleeves between R16 & R17, right above the arms. Make sure to sew the sides of the sleeves onto the plushie as well.
Hair:
• Using the yarn tail from the hair, sew the hair onto the head.
• Using the safety eyes as a guide, (horizontally) the hair should be 2 sts away on R22 and 3 – 4 sts away on R23. (Vertically) there should be 3 rounds between the top of the safety eyes and the hair.
• The back of the hair should cover the base of the head.
• Optional: anchor the bangs by gently sewing it onto the head.
Buns:
• Sew the buns on either side of the hair using the left over back loops of R5. Place them between R3 & R10 of the hair. Make sure the ribbons are pointing down. Stuff the buns as you sew.
