Waist Detail
With Amigurumi yarn 1289 (Canary) and a C-2 (2.5 mm) hook.
With the legs facing you, insert the yarn at the back of the waistband in the first free loop of round 38 and repeat: *(ch 3, skip 1 st, 1 sl st)*

Follow this sequence to the end of the free loops of round 39 at the waist. Fasten off and weave in the ends inside the doll.

Eye Sculpting – Step by Step

Mark the inner side of each eye, on the side closest to the center of the face, facing the nose. Choose a point at the top of the head (which will be covered by the hat) to start and finish the process.

Insert the needle through the top of the head and bring it to the inner side of the first eye.
Pull the yarn through, leaving a tail at the top of the head (to tie a knot later).
Insert the needle one stitch below and go straight to the second eye. Insert the needle on the inner side of the second eye, then bring it back to the top of the head, following the same path as the first eye. As you pull this loop, you will create the indentation in both eyes at the same time.

Pull both ends of the yarn firmly until the eyes reach the desired depth.
Tie two or three tight knots at the top of the head and hide the excess yarn between the stitches.
