ASSEMBLY:

Sew arms to armholes and legs to torso.

Sew head and torso back seam and sew zipper in her back

This doll’s head has bigger circumference than her body, so it’s bit difficult to dress her. With the zipper, you can take off her inside, dress her and fill her again. It is also useful if you want to wash her.

Embroider eyes and mouth

HAIR:

To add hair, cut the yarn wanted for hair color into pieces, slightly longer than twice the length of the desired hair length.  Using a crochet hook or yarn needle, thread each piece through a stitch on the head and pull so that each half is even.  Tie with a knot.

This step is the most difficult one. You will need a lot of patience because this doll has a lot of hair !

BLUSH:

Final touch! Apply foundation on her cheeks.

The patterns of her clothes are available here

But it can be so weak at the other time

Heart is fragile.

So handle it with care.

Or you may broke it.

- Felsdar

Hi everyone! Today’s pattern is the perfect Valentin’s day gift. If you do not know what to give, give him a knitted heart.

It’s simple, cute and very symbolic! Giving your heart to someone not only means you love him, it also means you trust him because this action make you somewhat vulnerable. Thus, give your heart to someone who will take care of it.

Heart can be so strong

When I give you my heart, I do not give you

the authority to rule it, abuse it or use it. I

give it to you because I trust you enough to

take great care of it.
