Hair (Pink)
Create several 4-inch strands of pink yarn. We’ll attach these during assembly to create Little Rose’s adorable hairstyle!
Assembly Instructions
- Attach head to body: Using the long tail from the body, sew the head securely to the top of the dress body. Make sure the head sits evenly and is well-attached.
- Add arms: Position the arms on either side of the body, about 2 rounds down from where the head attaches. Sew securely in place.
- Attach legs: Sew the legs to the bottom of the body, ensuring Little Rose can sit upright when placed on a flat surface.
- Create the face: Using black embroidery thread, carefully stitch two small dots for eyes. Add a tiny curved line for a sweet smile. Take your time with this step – the face brings Little Rose to life!
- Add hair: Cut several 4-inch strands of pink yarn. Attach them to the top and sides of the head using your yarn needle. You can style the hair in pigtails, leave it loose, or even braid it – let your creativity shine!
- Final touches: Weave in all ends securely and give Little Rose a gentle squeeze to ensure everything is well-attached.
