Legs/BodyHead
Instead of making the pants from the scrubs pattern, I will be adding the pants colour to the body…that way, I will only need to make the scrubs top
I added 5 extra rounds to the legs and arms.
Black yarn for shoes to end of Rnd 10, then change to dark blue for pants. Work with dark blue for pants to the end of Rnd 22, then change to skin tone in Rnd 23.
Hijab/Headscarf
I used fabric - one long rectangle piece around the head…above the eyes. Stitch to the head to anchor it in place.
I then used another piece of fabric wrapped around the head, pleat where necessary to fit to the shape of the head…stitch to the body to secure in place.
I placed a stitch to join the two hijab pieces together and also attach to the glasses…and also a stitch under the chin.
Scrub cap
I left Rnd 11 off of the cap so that it rested above her glasses.
Mask
I wanted my mask to be wider in the center, so I worked the starting chain, 4sc, 3hdc, dc to last 7sts, 3hdc, 4sc, ch 1, turn.
Row 2: 1sc, 2sctog, 1sc, 3hdc, dc to last 7sts, 3hdc, 1sc, 2sctog, 1sc, ch 1, turn.
Row 3: 1sc, 2sctog, 3hdc, dc to last 6sts, 3hdc, 2sctog, 1sc…then make ties as per pattern.
Glasses
I shaped one piece of wire for the top of the glasses and another piece of wire for the bottom half - I used a photo of Lisa as a guide for correct shaping - then joined the two halves together by wrapping with yarn.
Stitch in place to either side of the head and above the nose.
To avoid increase lines on the bottom of the head,
I ‘split’ or stagger the increases like this;
Up to Rnd 34: As per pattern.
Rnd 35: 2sc, inc, * (4sc, inc) * repeat from * to * to last 2sts - finish the round with 2sc.
Rnd 36: As per pattern.
Rnd 37: 3sc, inc, * (6sc, inc) * repeat from * to * to last 3sts - finish the round with 3sc.
Rnd 38: As per pattern.
Rnd 39: 4sc, inc, * (8sc, inc) * repeat from * to * to last 4sts - finish the round with 4sc.
Rnd 40 and beyond: As per pattern.
So - the pattern hasn’t been altered at all!
You’ve simply moved the increases on all of the ‘even’ rounds and all ‘odd’ rounds remain the same
