Do not cut the thread! Stuff 2/3 оf
hand with fiberfill. The hole is fold in
half, so that the thumb is on the side,
then crochet the loops of opposite
sides together.
Fasten off sl st, leaving a tail of the
thread for sewing the hand to the
body.
Pay attention to where the color
change is to hide the transition at
hand. On the other hand, we change
the color so that the transition is also
under the hand. That is, you should get
the right and left handles with the
color transition under the hand.
We sew the handles under the Rnd 46
of the body, that is, we recede from
the head 2 rows and sew.

Try on the hat, the end of the row is
the back of the hat. We dress the hat
so that you can not see the head from
the back (the t-shirt ends and the hat
starts right away).
In front, in the center, 13 rows should
remain from the face, the hat covers
the rest of the head. Adjust the
number of rows if your hat is smaller or
bigger.
Fasten off sl st, leaving a tail of the
thread for sewing the hat to the head.
Align the hat on the head and sew on
the edge.

Muzzle:
1) 8ch, 1sc in the 2nd ch from the
hook, 5sc, 4sc in the last stitch of the
chain, 5sc on the other side of the
chain, 3sc in one stitch (18)
2) (inc, 5sc, inc, 2sc)х2 (22)
3) inc, 7sc, (inc)х3, 9sc, (inc)х2 (28)

Fasten off sl st, leaving a tail of the
thread for sewing the muzzle to the hat.

Ears:
1) 7sc in magic ring (7)
2) ch, unfold and crochet 7sc (7)
3) ch, unfold and crochet (inc)х7 (14)
4) ch, unfold and crochet 14sc (14)
Crochet 2 details in the color of the Tshirt – this will be the inner part of the
ears. At the end, the thread fasten off
sl st and cut. Then we crochet 2 more

same details, but in the color of the
hat – this will be the outer part of the
ears. At the end we fasten off sl st the
thread, but do not cut it. We fold the
inner and outer parts and crochet them
together with the remaining thread in
the color of the hat.

Assembly and design of the hat:
– sew the muzzle;
– sew the ears;
– embroider a nose;
– embroider eyes.

Eyes:
To decorate the eyes you will need 3
colors of yarn: white, black and the
color of the iris. You can use the same
yarn, yarn a little thicker or moulinet.
Eyes are embroidered by a cross on 7-
10 rows, if you count from a T-shirt.
This is Rnd 54-57 by description.
Between eyes 4-5 stitches, depending
on where the center of the face comes
to the loop or between the loops.
Below is a scheme of a face for
embroidery of eyes, a yellow strip in a
bottom – the edge of a T-shirt, brown
in a top – the edge of a hat.

If after embroidery by a black thread
you have clearly pronounced clearance,
then it can be colored with a black
marker.

Embroidery on the tummy:
The Embroidery on the tummy of the
doll is embroidered with a cross, as
well as the eyes.
With the help of pins determine the
location of the future drawing. I recede
3 rows from the bottom edge of the Tshirt and 1 loop from the line of
decrease on the body. Note that the
whole drawing fits on the front of the
T-shirt and does not go over to the side
of the doll.

Congratulations! Your Doll in a bear
suit is ready! I would love to see your
finished creations!
