Fasten off and cut the yarn. Weave in the ends.
!!!Please note!!! You may have a different number of stitches when making a

the upper skirt (see photo).
Pin the white part to the body and sew with white sewing thread. Sew three
buttons to the top.
Sew a lace to the lower skirt.

If desired, sew pompoms on the sides of the boots. Thread a needle with fluffy
yarn Alize softy (white) about 12-15 cm through the side of the boot. Pierce the
first pompom through and tie a knot. Cut off the remaining thread. Next, insert the
thread into the needle from the other end and pierce the second pompom through
and through. My thread length from pompom to pompom was 4 cm (you can
choose a different length). Also tie a knot and cut off the remaining thread.

Head:

Face Needle Sculpting:
Make a needle sculpting focusing on the photo. Take a long strong thread. In this
case, I used the same thread with which I crocheted the doll. Insert the needle as
close to the eyes as possible.
Points 5 and 6 are located in the last round of the head, in the front in the middle.
Insert the needle at point 5 and exit it through point 1. Then insert the needle at
point 2 and exit it through point 6. Now pull the second eye. Insert the needle at
point 5 and exit through point 3. Then enter at point 4 and exit through point 6. Pull
the ends very gently, trying to pull the eyes evenly and not too much. Tie a knot
and hide inside.
-17-
Embroider the nose:
Mark 2 points with pins, they are located between rounds 22 and 23 of the head,
the distance between the points is 4sc. Make two stitches with skin color thread
from one pin to the other.
Using a needle, wrap these stitches with the same thread.
-18-
Using a white thread, make stitches from the outside of the eyes.
Embroider the eyelashes with a black thread. Embroider eyebrows with a brown
thread.
Exit white, brown and black threads through the opening in the head.
After everything is embroidered, tie the ends into a knot and hide inside the head.
Slightly tint the cheeks and nose using blush or dry pink pastel. Using brown
shadows or dry pastels shade the eyebrows and the eyelids.
-19-
Hair Wig:
-20-
Hairstyle:
Try the hair wig on the head. Match the center of the crown with the center of the
wig. Place the pigtails strands as follows: 4 strands behind the ears, but do not fix
the two central strands of the braids yet. First - behind one ear, then - behind the
other. Place the strands of the back and fix them with pins at the back between the
pigtails, while stepping back from the end of the curl, leaving the edge (6-7sc).
Sew the pigtails and the back on both sides, using a back stitch. Note, sew the
strands of the back part, leaving a free edge.
Next, place the two remaining pigtails strands behind the ears, on top of the sewn-
on strands (see photo). Sew them on.
-21-
Next, place the bangs. First to one ear, then to the other. Five strands to the left
ear and three strands to the right. Sew them on.
I recommend sewing the gaps between the back part of the bangs and strands
together. Use a cream thread, pulling two threads from the common twist.
Braid two pigtails, while weaving in a satin ribbon 10 mm wide and about 40 cm
long.
-21-
-22-
Assembly:
Take a wire with a diameter of 4 mm and 11 cm long, insulate the ends with
adhesive plaster. First, insert the wire into the body. Add fiberfill to the neck. The
neck should be stuffed tightly. Place the head on the neck and secure with pins.
Sew firmly in a circle. Sew securely around the circle. When sewing, grab both
loops of round 34 of the head.

Kokoshnik:
1Row: ch43, from the second chain on the hook: 3sc, inc, (6sc, inc)х5, 3sc (48) -
turn
2Row: ch1, 7sc, inc, 7hdc, hdcinc, 7dc, (dcinc)х2, 7dc, hdcinc, 7hdc, inc, 7sc (54) -

3Row: 4sl st, 8sc, 7hdc, 7dc, (dcinc)х2, 7dc, 7hdc, 8sc, 4sl st (56)
Cut the yarn.
Place the pieces with the wrong sides together. Attach the white yarn as shown in
the photo. Work through both pieces: ch1, 9sc, 9hdc, 9dc, dcinc, ch2, dcinc, 9dc,
9hdc, 9sc (60)
Do not cut the yarn and work on the side: 2inc.
On the bottom: 43sl st through both pieces.
On the side: 2inc, sl st (see photo on the next page).
Fasten off and cut the yarn, weave in the ends.

Carefully steam the kokoshnik through a damp cloth.
For the ties, sew on both sides a satin ribbon 5 mm wide and approximately 15 cm
long (see photo). Sew decorative flowers where the satin ribbon is attached.
If desired, sew a lace along the top of the kokoshnik. If you sew on a lace, it is
better to sew on the decorative flower after the braid is sewn on.
-26-
Hat:
1Row: ch21, from the third chain on the hook: 13hdc, 3sc, 3sl st (19) - turn
2Row: ch1, 3sl st, 3sc, 13hdc (19) - turn
3Row: ch2, 13hdc, 3sc, 3sl st (19) - turn
Then repeat rows 2 and 3. In total I have 42 rows. As you go, try the hat on your
head, as everyone's gauge is different, so you may need more or less rows.
Using sl st, join the edges of the hat (see photo). Cut the yarn, fasten off, leaving a
long end for sewing pieces.
Thread the yarn end into a wide eye needle and pull the stitches to close the
remaining hole. If you can't pull the hole completely, leave it like that. It will close
later with a pompom. Fasten off and cut the yarn.
-27-
For the hat lapel, attach the fluffy yarn Alize softy (white) to the bottom of the hat.
Work in the rounds loosely.
1-4Rnds: ch1, 42sc, sl st (4 rounds)
Fasten off and cut the yarn, weave in the ends.
Tuck this edge.
!!!You may have a different number of sc if you crochet more/less rows of the hat.
The number of rows of the hat is equal to the number of sc of the lapel.
