Pattern & Instructions:
IMPORTANT PATTERN INFO- PLEASE READ!
My suggestion would be for you to make the bottom, middle and head section BEFORE attaching your feet, this way, you don’t have an issue with where you are starting your lip on the head. I hope this makes sense. This is my first shared pattern with the world, so please be patient with me, I will answer any and all questions you have as soon as I am able.
Thank you so much for your interest in this pattern! ~Colleen
