Notes

“Hands” and “feet” are 3 strands together - one strand of the Big Twist white and 2 strands of LB Landscapes.

Eyes are felted directly on the face with a dot of white acrylic for the eye shine.

Arms, legs and head are posable. Because this is a gift for an infant, I made an adjustment to button joining. Instead of flat buttons being on the outside, I placed shank buttons inside before finishing off the arm/leg. I used Chinese silk cord to attach the arms to each other thru the body, and then legs are a attached to the head in a triangle. It’s a little wobbly, but it feels safe.
