  Making Up and Finishing
  With the body and head pieces right sides together, whipstitch the side and top seams of the hat and head. Turn right side out and join the side seams of the body using mattress stitch, leaving the bottom edge open. Stuff, then close the gap using mattress stitch.

  Using black yarn, work two French knots for the eyes. Using cream yarn, work a circle of chain stitch around the eyes. Using bright red yarn, work a straight stitch for the mouth.

  Fold the cream crochet chain for the nose in half widthwise and sew it to the face with matching yarn.

  For the hair, make each black crochet chain into two even loops and join them to the sides of the head. Using black yarn, work the mustache in chain stitch.

  Fold the leg pieces in half lengthwise, right sides together. Whipstitch the top and bottom of the boots. Turn the pieces right side out. Sew the back seams of the boots and leg using mattress stitch. Stuff the legs.

  Fold the arm pieces in half lengthwise, right sides together. Whipstitch around the hands. Turn the pieces right side out and join the side seam using mattress stitch. The arms do not need stuffing.

  Sew the legs to the outer edge of the lower edge of the body. Sew the arms to the side of the body with the tops of the arms ⅜ inch (1 cm) below the turtle neck edge.

  Fold the hat brim in half lengthwise so that the right side is on the outside and the eyelets form a picot edge (see page 15). Whipstitch the bound-off edge in place, then join the short edges to form a circle. Whipstitch the hat brim in place.

  Using black sewing thread, attach the back belt about halfway up the back of the cloak by sewing a small button to each side. Sew another button to the front of the cloak, through both layers, to join the two sides of the cloak together. Using black yarn, work a row of running stitches along the mohair trim of the cloak.

  For the boot buckles, using metallic gold crochet yarn, work a small square of chain stitch on the top of each boot.
