Sewing: I stitches everything closed on the right side of the knitting to get the seam effect that is seen on the card. You’ll also want to stuff the pieces before finishing the sewing, so use your favorite fiber fill for this. I’m going to beat mine up some in the wash before I decorate it and may even use a crochet hook to pull bits of the fleecy inside to make it look more authentic. I’ll post my doll for reference, or you can use the card. Decorate to your liking after this!. use your technique of choice for this.
