Pattern Correction
- If row/round counts do not match exactly when joining or finishing limbs, adjust by adding or skipping 1–2 sts or chains for clean attachment. Consistency and general shape are more important than exact stitch count, especially for accessories.
Tips
- Do not overstuff arms to keep them flexible and neat.
- For a professional finish, use glue sparingly on hair and accessories.
- Chains for dress/jacket/belt may be adjusted to fit your specific doll size.
- Use pins to hold accessories in place before final sewing/gluing.
- For the flower, you may use other colors (pink, red) if desired.
