The
Noggins!
Finished
dolls measure approximately 3” tall.
General Tips & Techniques:
* Be sure to keep yarn tension firm and consistent throughout your work.
* At the end of each row, I have given the number of stitches you
should have.
This is just a guide. If you are off by 1 or 2 stitches,
don’t
worry about it.
Amigurumi is very forgiving.
