Close the opening with the yarn tail and a needle.

Insert the hook into the last row of the arm as shown in the photo. Grab the remaining yarn tail from the inside and pull it to the front, forming a loop. Crochet 10 ch. Pull the yarn out of the last chain to fasten off.

Sl st. Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing.

Edging between R 8 and R 9 (with terracotta yarn):
Make 1 ch as the starting base. Remove the loop from the hook and pull it from the wrong side to the right side of the hat.
Insert the hook into the next stitch of the row, grab the working yarn from the wrong side, pull it to the front, and make 1 sl st.
Continue in this way around the hat. Fasten off and hide the yarn ends.

Face embroidery
With white yarn, embroider the whites of the eyes.
With black yarn, embroider the mouth and eyebrows.

Body assembly
First, sew the arms and legs using the yarn tails left.
Legs: Insert the needle into the head under the dress (see the photo below), secure the yarn firmly. Bring the yarn out to the back of the head, secure it and hide the tail. Repeat for the second leg.

Arms: Sew them to the “neck” symmetrically on both sides.
Sew the hat with its yarn tail, then secure and hide the yarn.
