Tips for Success

• Manage your color changes: When changing colors between red and black, pull the new color through on the last loop of the previous stitch for a clean look.
• Keep your stitch markers handy: Working in continuous rounds can make it easy to lose your place, so mark your first stitch every time.
• Keep the feet flat: When adding your fiber fill to the legs, press them flat with your fingers so the plush sits nicely.
• Cut felt carefully: Use sharp fabric scissors to get clean edges on the black and white felt eye pieces.
• Glue safely: Allow the fabric glue to dry completely before letting anyone play with the finished doll.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use regular acrylic yarn instead of chenille yarn?

Yes, you can use regular medium weight acrylic yarn. Your finished plush will just turn out smaller than the plush chenille version.

What is the best way to attach the felt eyes?

You can use a high quality fabric glue to secure the felt pieces to the head, or you can use matching sewing thread to stitch them down.

Do I need to stuff the arms?

No, the instructions state that you should not stuff the arms. You will simply fold them flat and crochet the top edge closed.

How do I make the invisible join?

Thread your yarn tail into a needle, skip the next stitch, pass under both loops of the following stitch, and then go back down into the center of the last stitch you made.

Can I adjust the length of the belt?

Yes, you can easily chain more or fewer stitches for the belt to make sure it fits perfectly around your doll’s waist.
