NOTES

The pattern is worked using the amigurumi method. Work stitches continuously in a spiral without closing off each round with a slip stitch. It may help to use a stitch marker in the first stitch of each round, moving it up as you work. Straps, Apron and Scarf are worked in rows. The Doll is embellished with embroidery. You can find step-by-step instructions on different embroidery stitched here: www.gathered.how/needlework/embroidery/library-ofembroidery-stitches-for-beginners
