The arms join the same way at round 18. The head is then \u003cstrong\u003eworked straight on from the body without cutting the yarn\u003c\/strong\u003e, so there's no neck seam to sew and nothing to wobble.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe face shaping\u003c\/strong\u003e gets its own illustrated section. Using a long doll needle and a single strand of fine thread, you pass through six marked points and pull — which sinks the eye sockets and gives the face real structure. Both the sculpting and the eyelashes are mapped point by point against the photographs, including exactly which round each point sits in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe clothes\u003c\/strong\u003e are made flat in red velvet yarn. The sweater is a 37-chain worked in turned rows with \u003cstrong\u003echain-arch armholes\u003c\/strong\u003e — a nice trick where you skip six stitches, bridge them with a chain, then work into the arch rather than into the chains on the way back, which keeps the armhole smooth. Sleeves are picked up around each armhole and worked in the round. The hat is a flat rectangle gathered at the crown with a 4 cm pompom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSkills \u0026amp; materials\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntermediate.\u003c\/strong\u003e The pattern states plainly that it teaches no basic stitches — you need magic ring, sc, inc, dec and working through two layers already.
