1 p: 6Sc in Magic ring = 6
2 p: (İnc) × 6 = 12
3 p: (1Sc, İnc) × 6 = 18
4 p: (1Sc, İnc, 1Sc) × 6 = 24

15 p: 3Sc, Dec, 28Sc, Dec, 3Sc = 36
Mark the center of the face with a marker – two loops above the third increase. At this point, the nose will be embroidered.
Count 10 loops from the center of the face left and right and set between the 14th and 15th rows
extra markers for the ears.

Fasten, cut, and hide the thread inside out. Stuff your head completely.
The ears
Right ear
Step back one row from the right marker and fasten the working thread in this place. To the point where
there is a marker (between the 14th and 15th rows), tie 4Sc. Cut the thread, leaving a tail of about 15
see Insert this left tail into the needle and fasten the left edge of the eyelet one row below the marker.
Left ear
Knit in the same way as the right one, but you need to start from the bottom of the marker.
Nose
In the marked place, exactly between the ears, embroider a few stitches in the nose.
Hands
Make a frame for the hands. Cut two pieces of wire about 10 cm long. Make at one end
eyelet.

when will be indicated in the description.
Link a chain of 4Ch.
1 p: starting from the 2nd loop of the chain: 2Sc, 2Sc in
last loop of the chain, 2Sc, İnc = 8
2-4p: 8Sc (3 rows)
5 p: 1Sc, (İnc Hdc) × 2, 5Sc = 10
6 p: 1Sc, (Dec) × 2, 5Sc = 8
Cut pieces of wire about 16 cm long, bend one end with a loop, fix it with one
a round of adhesive plaster. Bend the blanks slightly, marking the heel and insert into the foot.
Roll a small ball from a tiny piece of filler. This is necessary in order to stick out
the fibers did not interfere with knitting further and did not get knitted in the fabric. Put this ball in the heel.
7 p: (Dec) × 2, 4Sc = 6
8 p: 6Sc
9 p: 1Sc, İnc, 4Sc = 7
10 p: 7Sc +1 p offset
11 p: 1Sc, İnc, 5Sc = 8
12-14 r: 8Sc (3 rows + 1 p displacement
Roll up a small “sausage” from the filler (roll in the palms, like plasticine). Tweezers neatly
put it in the leg in the back, it will be the calf muscle. The working thread is slightly on the side.
15 p: (Dec) × 2, 1Sc, (İnc) × 2 (knee), 1Sc = 8
16 p: 1Sc, İnc, 1Sc, (Dec) × 2 (knee), 1Sc = 7
Roll a tiny ball from the filler and place it on the knee.
17 p: 7Sc
18 p: 2Sc, İnc (back), 4Sc = 8
19-22 r: 8Sc (4 rows)
Run Sl-st. On the left leg, cut the thread and hide it on the inside.
On the right leg, tie another 1Sc (or how much you can get) – the working thread is exactly on the side.
Set the beginning row marker. Now the thread can also be cut.
In the process of knitting, add filler around the frame, just a little bit so that the legs only
kept in shape.
Body
Continue to knit with the right foot. In the place where the marker is located, attach the white thread and
continue to knit panties.
1 p: 4Sc, 4Ch, 8Sc along the left leg (start knitting exactly between the legs), 4Sc along the chain of Ch, 4Sc = 24
2 p: 1Sc, 1Hdc, İnc Hdc, 6Hdc, İnc Hdc, 1Hdc, 13Sc = 26
3 p: 2Sc, 10Hdc, 14Sc = 26
Bend the wires coming from the legs so that they touch in the center of the body and fasten
a small piece of adhesive tape (no more than 2 turns).
4 p: 26Sc
5 p: 4Sc, Dec, 4Sc, Dec, 3Sc, change the thread to flesh color: 11Sc = 24 +1 p offset
6 p: 2Sc, Dec, 5Sc, Dec, 3Sc, Dec, 5Sc, Dec, 1Sc = 20
7 p: 3Sc, Dec, 1Sc, Dec, 12Sc = 18
8p: 18Sc
9 p: 1Sc, Dec, 4Sc, Dec, 9Sc = 16
Using adhesive tape, fasten the frame of the hands and body.
Fill the body. Stuffing is not very dense, the body should be soft and crumple well
Find the center of the back and set a new marker for the start of the row. Now all loops count then him.
10 p: 3Sc, 2Sc together loops of the left hand and body, 6Sc, 2Sc together loops of the right hand and body, 3Sc = 16
11 p: 2Sc, Dec * (one loop of the back, the second is the hands), 2Sc, Dec * (one loop of the hand, the second is the front), 4Sc, Dec *
(one loop of the front, the second of the hands), 2Sc, Dec * (one loop of the hands, the second of the back), 2Sc = 16
12 p: (1Sc, Dec, 1Sc) × 4 = 12
13 p: (1Sc, Dec) × 4 = 8
14 p: 8Sc
15 p: 2Sc, Sl-st (the working thread is on the side, so the “step” at the end of the row is less noticeable)
Cut the thread and secure it on the wrong side.
Cut off excess wire coming out of the body, put a head on it and sew it.
Head decoration
Make a little eye tightening. The place of the tie is between the 12th and 13th rows (two rows above the nose).
Tighten just a little, so that only the holes for the eyes appear. We fasten the hooks to the back of the head, all
equally then this place will hide under the hair. Tighten the ponytails from the hooks into a knitted needle (with a blunt
tip) and hide inside the head.
To make the face more expressive, you can toned the eye sockets, nose bridge, apply shadows and
blush.
Hair
To make the hair look the most natural and interesting, you can take three shades of floss – bright orange (No. 236), yellow (No. 234) and pumpkin colors (but you can make them the same color).
Cut the yarn into segments of 16-18 cm. this is not a play doll, but an interior one, it’s not worth much
to torment and fasten the hair with a loop, it is enough to simply stretch the locks through the loops of the canvas. Take
3 strings. From time to time, you need to take strings of different colors: two bright orange and one or
yellow or pumpkin flowers.
Start fastening for the 5th row. Leave the sector without hair in front, attach the bangs last.
Then fasten the locks for the 3rd row. After that, fix the hair on the crown.
On the back of the head, fasten two rows along the parting. Divide the hair into two parts, carefully comb the hair
blunt needle (do it very carefully, try not to pull out the locks) and tie the “low” tails
(or braid the braids).
Now you can make a bang. For her, cut the yarn in segments of 6-7 cm. In the same way, stretch the strands.
through the loops. Cut the bangs to the desired length. Be careful not to cut too short.
If the bangs are puffed, you can sprinkle it with steam from the iron (in no case touch the hair,
keep the iron at a distance of 5-10 cm) and smooth the bangs with your hands.
Trim the length of the tails, cut them obliquely (no need to make an even cut, it doesn’t look
naturally).
Draw eyes
For drawing, you need to take 4 colors of acrylic paints – white, black, light blue and blue. Tassel
take the thinnest. When drawing eyes, we follow the rule: we draw from light shades to dark.
Therefore, we start with white, and at the end we draw with black paint.
Mark ovals 5.5 × 6.0 mm on the fabric. After that, draw a contour of the eye.
These sizes are for a head crocheted from COCO Vita Cotton yarn (3.8 × 3.3 cm). You yourself
adjust the size of the ovals. You can even draw a few pairs of eyes and then select the most
suitable.
White paint over the whites of the eyes. Then paint the iris with light blue paint. Let dry
Pose of each color.
On the palette, mix a drop of light blue and dark blue paints over the top of the iris.
Draw a contour along the lower edge of the ovals and shade a little. Let dry again.
In the center, draw black pupils and feather their upper part.
Very neat black paint to draw the contour of the eyes. Draw the upper eyelid with a thicker line. By
the inner part of the upper eyelid line slightly bifurcated, simulating cilia.
You can still shade whites of the eyes in the upper part under the eyelids. To do this, mix a little on the palette
white paint and quite a bit of black, should get a light gray tint. Gently paint over
upper corners of proteins under the eyelids.
White paint to perform glare on the iris. Allow eyes to dry well.
Finished eyes carefully cut with manicure scissors.
Black paint over the upper sections very carefully to
the white color of the base fibers was not visible. Fabric marker
I do not advise drawing, because it spreads on thin tissue, and
dirty streaks form.
Try ready eyes to face, choose a suitable position
eye and stick. When the glue dries, carefully use a toothpick
apply glossy varnish to eyes.
Thin brown yarn to embroider with two stitches of eyebrows.

sew to the back.
Jar with a swing
Take a suitable can with a wide neck.
On a piece of thick cardboard, circle the neck and cut out the lid for the can. With an awl, pierce 4 holes
in this cover. The holes should not be located exactly in the center, but should be slightly shifted
back.
Cut two pieces of twine or harsh thread and pull them through the holes.
Cut a rectangle from a thin board or plywood
about 7 × 3 cm in size – a seat for a swing. Highly
make a thin drill in the corners of the hole. Thread through
twine them, adjust the height of the swing and tie
fixing knots.
