FO Leave long tail for sewing

Assembly:
Align the top of the tie to the maroon collar and sew the five stitches together.

Wrap the collar around the neck and lap the tie over the remaining maroon stitches from the
other side of the collar. There may be a little overload depending how firm the stuffing is but
that's fine, just sew together, tie off, and tuck the tails in between the tie and collar. Trim extra.

Fold down the white part of the collar and done!

Cuffs:

Row3: DC in 4th chain from hook then in each chain all the way to the end, ch 1, turn (41)
Row4: Sc in 2nd stitch from hook then in each stitch to the end (40)
FO
Wrap around the wrist of the doll, flatten the ends together, and sew together. You can add a
button to be a 'Cuff Link' if you desire.
If you want to be able to easily remove the cuffs, you can instead sew Velcro or a snap button to
the inside of the ends.
Extras:
I used peach Felt for the scar and a fine point marker to draw the scar lines.
Black Felt for the eyes with white felt glued on the black for the shine circles.
I cut a triangle out of the white felt and glued a small pink triangle to the bottom of the white for
the 'open' mouth then outlined both triangles in black marker to make them stand out.

FINAL RESULTS!
