gether (photo 30) and thus crochet 5 sc (photo 31). Further crochet 10 sc on the body (photo 32).

Now take the right arm, find the last loop of the row and count 5 loops to the right from it, i.e. move clockwise
(photo 33). Insert the hook in this loop from the inside of the arm and loop of the body together (photo 34) and thus
crochet 5 sc, grasping the loops of the arm and body together (photo 35). Crochet 4 sc on the body. We should have
30 sc in this row. It’ll be the 22nd row (photo 36, 37). How to crochet this row look on example at the link

steps. Make 1 sl st in the next front loop of the row, make chain 61 ch and turn on the chain, crocheting 60 sc, fur-
ther make 1 sl st in the next front loop of the row. Thus, crochet 11 strands. Then crochet 8 short strands in the
same way. Make chain 4 ch and turn on the chain, crocheting 3 sc. It will be bangs. Then crochet 11 long strands
again. In total, there should be 30 strands in this row. Cut the thread, leaving a long end for sewing (photo 49).

ASSEMBLY AND DECORATIONS


Begin with the tightening for the eyes. To do this mark the points 1 and 2 between the 16th and 17th rows, the space
between them is 11 sc and the points 3 and 4 between the 18th and 19th rows directly under the points 1 and 2 as it is
shown at the photo 63.
Now insert a needle in the head, fasten off a thread and take it out in the point 1, then insert in the head in the point
3 and take out in the point 2, tighten a thread. Again insert a needle in the head in the point 4 and take it out in the
point 1, tighten a thread. Repeat this action 2-3 times, fasten off, cut a thread and hide inside the head (photo 64).
How to make the tightening look at the link https://youtu.be/0yu9jzWJFEY.
If you insert the eyes with stalks, make the tightening the same way (insert a needle in the immediate vicinity of the
eye.
Glue the eyes (I glue with hot glue using a glue gun).

.
Embroider the whites of the eyes with the white thread (I use the whole thread Alize Cotton Gold No55 of white
color. Embroider the eyelids and mouth with the black sewing thread (2 threads). Embroider the nose with the flesh
thread between the 18th and 19th rows, the width of the nose – 3 sc. And finally embroider the brows with the brown
thread (I use Alize Cotton Gold No690, 1 thread of 4).

If desired, you can embroider freckles to the elf. How to do it look on example at the link

Sew the ears between the 17th and 18th rows at a distance of 8 sc from the eyes (photo 67, 68)

Put the wig to the head as it’s shown at the photo 69 and sew for the back loops of the 11th row (photo 70, 71).

Then, using pins, fix 16 strands on the back of the head from ear to ear (photo 72) and 3 strands on each side in
front of the ears (photo 73) and sew each strand to the head with one stitch (photo 74). Sew the back strands on the
same level, the front ones on different. Also fix the bangs so that it does not stick out. If desired, you can use glue.
