Hair:
- Follow a similar pattern starting with a magic loop and increasing to 42 stitches.
- Create long strands of hair by chaining 31, turning, and SC 30 along the chain, then slip stitch.
- Repeat creating strands and fasten off, leaving a tail for sewing.
Arms (make 2):

Assembly:
- Body: Add stuffing to the ends of the arms and legs, and all of the body if hasn’t been done. Sew the arms along the sides of the body, and attach the legs similarly.
- Head: Attach the head, ensuring it is secure to prevent wobbling.
- Face: Stitch on a mouth and eyebrows with embroidery floss, and create a nose by threading yarn through the head.
- Hair: Place the hair cap on top, securing it with pins if needed before sewing it on for a continuous hairline.
- Finishing Touches: Sew the hat in place if desired.
