Info :
ADVICE: Pull the initial thread end out between rounds 2 and 3 to serve as a marker and help you count rounds. When the piece becomes voluminous it is a good idea to fold it in half while working.

Info :
Stuff the finished "cone" rather tightly using the ends of the scissors to push filler inside. (Result: about 4 cm (1.6 in) high cone).
Info :
Now sew the head to the body neatly in imperceptible stitches; sew the bottom part of the head (the top will be covered with hair and a hat). Seam approximately between 2nd and 3rd rounds of the head. Use a beige thin thread like embroidery floss for sewing.
Info :
If the bottom of the cone is not flat and the body does not stand straight, wet the bottom a little and stand it to dry on an even surface while working other pieces.
โ Hair and Hairstail :
Info :
Light yellow thread.
Info :
For hair you ll need about 64 pieces of light yellow thread 8 (3.2 in) cm long. Use a 4 cm (1.6 in) wide cardboard to wrap thread 64 times and cut at one side. Mark the place on the head for the face with pins.
Info :
Attach yellow threads in macram e9 knots, one by one in each round: insert the hook through two holes of nearby rounds, pull the loop and pull the ends of the thread through this loop and tighten. Insert the hook from top downwards; it is easier to start from the bottom round and move upwards.
Info :
The hair will take about 6 rounds counting from the top of the head. Rounds are made in spiral which makes counting a little tricky.
Info :
The number of hair pieces according to the number of rounds: R9: 11; R10: 12; R11: 13; R12: 11; R13: 8; R14-15: 9. The numbers are approximate; you may need more or less pieces.
Info :
When hair is finished it sticks out; wet hair, smooth and leave to dry, then cut little by little to create the hairstyle. Sew the finished hairstyle to the head partially in small stitches using thin sewing thread.

Round 20 :
Lace edging according to the diagram: (1sl st, 1ch, 5dc, 1ch, 1sl st) X 9
Info :
Hat is decorated with 10 forget-me-not flowers. See Crochet Diagram Key for symbols: chain stitch, single crochet, double crochet, slip stitch, 2 double crochet cluster.
โ Flowers (make 10) :
Info :
Threads: Light blue, Light yellow, Light pink, Green.
Info :
Flowers are crocheted according to the diagram. Start with a yellow center: 2 ch and 5 sc into first ch (5 sts) join in a ring with a sl st. Then work with light blue thread: (sl st, ch, 2 double crochet cluster, ch, sl st) X 5. Finish by joining the round with a sl st.
Info :
Make 9 flowers with yellow center and 1 flower with pink center (the pink-centered flower decorates the top of the hat). Thread the end of the thread of the flower into the needle and pull it out through the center of the flower on the wrong side. The finished flower has 4 thread tails on the wrong side; tie them tightly together in a knot and cut off leaving 4-5 mm (0.2 in) tail.
Info :
When all flowers are finished, sew them on 9 edges of the hat edging one by one with thin thread. Sew all petals carefully in very small imperceptible stitches.
Info :
Prepare 10 cm (4 in) piece of wire for the flower with pink center. Cut extra threads off leaving a 5 mm (0.2 in) tail. Pass the wire through some loops of the flower's center, fold in half and twist together to form the stem. Take green thread, leave a long tail, place it along the wire and start to wrap the thread around the stem tightly and neatly side by side. Wrap around ~4.5 cm (1.8 in), tie thread ends tightly in a knot and cut the wire 2-3 mm (0.1 in) from the knot, bend the wire upward and press it to the stem so the wraps won't slide.
โ Small Flower of Forget-me-not :
Info :
(It consists of three flowers on one stem) Make 3 forget-me-not flowers with yellow center as you did for the hat. Make wired stems for all 3 flowers as for the central flower on the hat, leave 5 mm tails of thread on the wrong side of flowers. Twist wires for two flowers at the beginning and twist the wire till the end for the third one.
Info :
Wrap stems for 2 flowers with green thread: when you wrap around 7 mm (0.3 in) of stem, cut the loose end of green thread off. When you wrap around 1 cm of stem, place the end of green thread between the wire's ends and cut off leaving a 3 cm (1.2 in) tail. Start the 3rd flower as before; add second flower after 1.2 cm (0.5 in) of wrapping and now wrap around both stems; add one more flower after 5 mm more (0.2 in) of wrapping and now work around 3 stems. After 1 more cm, cut 2 loose ends leaving 1, continue wrapping. After 1 more cm cut 1 wired stem off, after 5 mm more cut the second one off. When you wrap around 4.5 cm (1.8 in) total, tie the green thread ends very tightly and cut the wire 2-3 mm (0.1 in) from the knot, bend the wire upward and press it to the stem. Cut threads at 5 mm (0.2 in) from the knot and apply glue stick to the ends.
โ Arm (make 2) :
Info :
Thread: Beige and Light blue. Prepare 2 pieces of wire 10 cm (4 in) long.
Info :
Wrap beige thread around 2 fingers 10 times and tie tightly in the middle, cut at the other side. Fold in half so the knot is at the place of fold, then put the wire around the bunch of threads at a 3-4 mm (~0.15 in) distance from the knot (this will be the hand and wrist). Twist the ends of the wire together so the wired wrist is very tight. Cut the bunch of threads diagonally (not straight) at 3 cm (1.2 in) distance from the wired wrist to form a tapered hand shape.
Info :
Now take light blue thread, leave a long tail, place it along the bunch up to the wrist and start to wrap the thread around the arm (a little above the wire of the wrist) very tightly and neatly, placing wraps side by side to form a blue sleeve. When you reach the end of beige threads, tie the blue thread tightly in a knot leaving long tails. Repeat wrapping with blue thread again so the sleeve is wrapped twice; tie ends tightly and cut off the wire leaving 1 cm (0.4 in) long tails. The finished arm length should be about 3.5 cm (1.4 in) if the body is 4 cm (1.6 in) high.
Round Info :
Make both arms at the same time: make one step for one arm and then repeat the same step for the other arm right away to make them similar.
โ Attaching the arms :
Info :
Find spots for the arms โ 3 rounds down from the neckline on both sides of the body. Mark with pins. Widen the chosen spot (the hole) with the crochet hook and insert the end of the arm's wire into the hole. Insert the tapestry needle in the same hole, thread the long blue threads into this needle and pull the needle with threads to the other side. Pull the tail of threads to deepen the arm in the body. Do not cut the tail off.
Info :
Then sew the arm to the body around the shoulder very carefully and neatly with a sewing needle and embroidery floss using very small and imperceptible stitches. When the arm is sewed, pull the tail of threads and cut it off close to the work.
โ Eyes and Mouth :
Info :
The eyes are embroidered with brown thread (or 3 strands of embroidery floss) between rounds 8 and 9. The distance between the eyes is 4 crochet stitches. The length of the eyes is 1 (or 1.5) single crochet. The height of the eyes is 4 sew stitches.
Info :
The mouth is embroidered with reddish brown embroidery floss in the 6th round using 2 sew stitches.
Info :
Final assembly: sew the hat on the head, attach the wired flowers (push the stem into the hat hole and secure the stem inside the hat with stitches or tie with light blue thread). Put a little filler inside the bell-flower hat before placing it on the head to keep the shape, fix with pins and sew thoroughly to the head by imperceptible stitches.
