Baba Yaga is undoubtedly the most striking character in Slavic tales. She is colorful, funny, unpredictable – sometimes kind, sometimes evil, and sometimes very insidious! But what could be more magical and fabulous, unusual and amazing than flying on a broomstick, in a mortar or chatting with a manual hut on chicken legs? Kids will certainly be delighted if you tie the real Baba Yaga for them, and a stupa and a broomstick to it! The main thing is to choose a yarn of suitable colors, be patient and inspiration! Although Yagusia doesn’t hurt adults, he will protect the house from evil spirits and all kinds of incidents. Have a nice knitting!

Assembly and design of toys
Facial assembly: sew the chin and nose detail to the head, make eye tightenings (the needle should go out in the area of the chin – so we get an aging facial expression),
Sew on beads, embroider warts, eyebrows and mouth in one stroke.
Assembly of the scarf: we make a fold on the scarf, fasten it with several stitches – this is the front of the scarf. Draw the oval in several turns of the thread of the same color and sew to the front of the scarf.
Hair: put on a headscarf and pins mark the border of the hair. Remove the kerchief, and begin to fix the pre-cut hair in light gray in 2 rows. Hair length at your discretion. After that, put on the headscarf and sew on.
See photo No. 1 and No. 2.
Grandma assembly: sew the head to the body so that there is a small hump. Sew (interlock) the tip of the finger and the edge of the end of knitting (see photo No. 2) – a broom will be inserted into the hole. Then sew on your hands or attach them with a thread mount (I sewed). Pin your legs and check granny for stability. Now legs can be sewn.
Broom assembly: sew the long edges of the broom handle, insert the used ballpoint pen there, sew holes along the edges. You need to leave 2 ends of the thread on one of the ends of the broom handle and make a whisk (like a brush). See photo number 3.
Hang a bag on it, put on an apron, put a broom in your hands and put it in a mortar!
