FO. Sew gap closed.

Hands: Follow the pattern for the hands in the video. You can either sew the hands into the arm holes or glue them. Gluing them didn’t work as well. I sewed them on instead. Since you are using medium worsted yarn to sew the hands into the arms, you won’t see the seams as much because the Bernat Blanket yarn is so thick, it hides the yarn in its fluffiness.

Finish off for the first 3 fingers. Do not finish off for the fourth finger because you will continue to crochet onto the other fingers from here. Please watch the video for more clarity. Take any finger and crochet 2sc. Then take another finger and crochet 2sc. Take the last finger and crochet 4sc. Then continue onto the next finger as you crochet around the hand. Crochet into the next 6sc. You should have a total of 16 stitches. This is Rnd 6. Place a marker here.

Rnd 7. 16sc. (16)
Rnd 8. This is where you connect the thumb. The thumb is the same as the other fingers but with one less row. Continue to crochet onto the thumb with 4sc. You should have a total of 20sc. Do 1sc to completely join the thumb. Add a marker here.

For the eyes, please see the video for clearer instructions. Position the middle of the buttons 10-11 stitches apart. Insert them between Rnds 14 and 15 of the head. The total height of your doll is approximately 9.5 inches.
