We start crocheting it stepping 2 rows away from the spot where underpants transit into camisole. ** First you need to bind off the body with single crochet, just like you did with the top of boots. After binding off the body with single crochets, make a connecting crochet in the end of the row, then 3 chain stitches (descent loops) and turn the crocheting around.Row] - adding in every loop of double crochet. In the end of the row make connecting crochet and then 3 Ch. Row 2 - | double crochet, Increase, double crochet - Alternate to the end of the row.

Bottom of camisole) Row] - Start crocheting onto 2nd loop from crochet and make 38 Sc. Then make Ch and turn the crocheting around. Continue crocheting 38 Sc till the Row 7.

I start sewing the tresses down circle-wise starting from nape. The smaller needle step the stronger are the tresses on head. I make 2-3 circles on head depending on the hairs density.An owl cap for the doll Row | - Make 2 Ch. Onto 2nd from crochet make 6 Sc.
