Body
Continue to work in milk. Place the legs so that they slightly face each other and start connecting them to each other. I present
my calculations in Pic. 42, if they don’t suit you, do the calculation yourself.
1) Count to the right 14 sts from the marker of the right leg and start to do 2 ch from the 15th st. Count 6 sts on the left leg
from the marker to the right and attach the chain to the 7th st. From the right leg (15th st), make 2 ch and attach it to the left leg
(7th st) with a sl st (Pic. 43). and from the next st, work on the left leg – 19 sc, 1 inc, 3 sc, 1 inc, 2 sc on chain, on the right
leg – 1 inc, 3 sc, 1 inc, 19 sc, put a marker, it’s in the front of the right leg (Pic. 44).
2) 2 sc on chain in front (skip the sl st, don’t count it), 54 sc (56)
3-7) 56 sc (56) (5 rounds) (Pic. 45,46)

10) 21 sc, 1 dec, 8 sc, 1 dec, 19 sc + 1 sc more, and move the marker by one st (50)
11) 6 sc, 1 dec, 6 sc, cut the milk yarn, change the yarn color to red (the color should change on the side of the body) 10 sc,
1 dec, 16 sc, 1 dec, 6 sc (47)

Join the arms on the next round. We take 5 sts of arms. Arms are placed symmetrically on the sides of the body. Thumbs facing
forward.
21) 10 sc, 5 sc (grab the arm and body sts and crochet them together), 14 sc, 5 sc (grab the arm and body sts and crochet them
together), 4 sc on the back (38) (Pic. 51-53)

22) (2 sc, 1 dec) – 2 times, 1 sc, 1 dec (grab 1 st of the body and 1 st of the arm), (on the arm 2 sc, 1 dec, 3 sc), 1 dec

of the arm), (on the arm 3 sc, 1 dec, 2 sc), 1 dec (grab 1 st of the body and 1 st of the arm), 1 sc, 1 dec (34) (Pic. 54-56)

Make a wire frame. The body should be tightly stuffed. Cut a wire of about 40 cm/15.8 in, twist it in three layers and twist
them together (you can use wire cutters). When folded and twisted the frame turned out to be 13 cm/5.1 in. Wrap the edges
with adhesive tape. Insert the frame into the body about 1 cm from the bottom. For the arms, cut a wire of about 27 cm/10.6 in.
Bend both edges of the wire, insulate with adhesive tape and insert into the arms. Next, wrap the wire around the main frame.
Fix the place of connection of two parts of the wire in the middle of the frame with tape. I don’t add filler to the arms otherwise
they will look very dense (Pic. 57-63)

 Eyes tightening
Make the eye tightening with the help of mouline thread (dental floss). Mark points 1 and 6, in the center of the head, almost
at the base of the neck. Tilt the head back to make it easier to do the tightening. Insert the needle at point 1 and bring it
out at point 2, in the middle of the eye. Then you need to lead the needle out as shown in the scheme: from the beginning
1 ► 2 ► 3 ► 6 ►1 ►5 ►4 ►6 (thread is above the eye) tighten, tie off the ends and hide the threads. (Pic. 75-83)

Embroider the mouth. Count down 6 rounds from the nose; grab 4 sts in the center. Pass the needle from the top of the
head into one corner of the mouth, from the other corner of the mouth lead the needle into the top of the head, next to the
st from where you led the needle in the beginning. Don’t tighten the mouth too much; pass the thread this way two times
(Pic. 92-97)

Ears
The distance from the eyes to the ears is 8 sts on each side. Points for the ears are between rounds 15 and 14 and rounds
12 and 11. The distance between the points is three rounds. When you crochet the ears, the face is looking at you. Insert the
needle with flesh-colored yarn in point 1 and bring it out in point 2, then again in point 1 and bring it out in point 2. We have
the base for the ear. Tighten the yarn a little. Crochet 7 hdc (as in MR) in the circle of yarn. Cut the yarn, tie; hide the ends in
the head.
Make the second ear in the same way, but the yarn begins to enter the point 3 (Pic. 98-106)

Trying on the wig, it should look like the one on the Pic. 107-110
If in your case there are not enough rounds, it is necessary to crochet more or to uncrochet the excess.

Crochet the curls and bangs.
