Set aside your work without cutting the yarn. Now, let’s add facial features.
Sew the muzzle between rows 3-4 and 15-16. Fill the muzzle as you attach it. Sew the nose to the upper part, leaving a gap of 2-3 rows from the first row (center) of the muzzle. Fill the nose as you attach it.
Use black yarn to create the mouth. Insert the needle with black yarn inside the head and bring it out just below the nose, dividing the muzzle vertically in half. Insert the needle at the bottom of the muzzle, bring it out inside the head, and connect it with the beginning of the thread. Gently pull the mouth, tie a knot, and cut the yarn.
Leave a gap of 2 rows above the mouth on the head and insert the safety eyes, spacing them about 5-6 sc apart from each other.
Now, let’s continue crocheting the head.
Fill the head firmly.
22 Row: (4 sc, dec) x 6 (30)
23 Row: (3 sc, dec) x 6 (24)
24 Row: (2 sc, dec) x 6 (18)

26 Row: 6 dec (6)
Cut the yarn, close the crochet, and hide the end. Now, let’s move on to the facial features.
Embroider the eyes with white yarn as shown in the photo. Insert the needle from the back and bring it out at point 1, insert it at point 2, and repeat the same for the second eye.
With a gap of 2 rows above, embroider the eyebrows. For the girl, you can also make eyelashes.
Now, sew the ears between rows 22-23.
Let’s move on to crocheting accessories and clothing for the boy and girl.
For the Boy:
Cap
1 Row: 6 sc in magic ring (6)
2 Row: 6 inc (12)
3 Row: (1 sc, inc) x 6 (18)
4 Row: (2 sc, inc) x 6 (24)
5 Row: (3 sc, inc) x 6 (30)
6 Row: (4 sc, inc) x 6 (36)
7-8 Row: 36 sc (36)
9 Row: (7 sc, dec) x 4 (32)
Continue by crocheting the cap’s visor as follows:
1 Row: 8 sc through the front loop only, ch 1, turn.
2 Row: 8 sc in the front loop only.
3 Row: dec, 4 sc, dec.
Crochet 3-4 sl st along the edge of the visor, fasten off, and leave a long end for sewing.
Attach the cap to the head between rows 23-24 at the front and rows 19-20 at the back. The cap should be tilted slightly and cover the ears a bit.
For the Girl:
Bows (2 pieces)
Large Bow:
Chain 20 and join to form a ring. Crochet in the round.
1-4 Row: Ch 1, 20 sc, sl st.
Fasten off, cut the yarn, and hide the end.
Small Bow:
Chain 9 and join to form a ring. Crochet in the round.
1-3 Row: Ch 1, 8 sc, sl st.
Fasten off, cut the yarn, and hide the end.
Take the larger bow, fold it in half so that the seam is in the middle. Insert the larger bow into the ring of the smaller bow to create a bow shape.
Sew the bow to the head.
Overalls
In the 17-18 row (the last row of the pants color), find the center and leave a gap of 3 sc on both sides.
Starting from the post of a stitch, crochet 4 rows of 7 sc for each leg.
Don’t cut the yarn; continue crocheting the shoulder straps:
The shoulder straps cross at the back.
Chain 20, join at the back, skipping 3 sc from the center.
Work 7 sl st along the body, then chain 20 and join to the other side of the overalls.
Dress
Find rows 18-19 on the body.
Turn the toy inside out so the dress is on the outside. Fasten the dress color yarn at the back and start the first row around the post of the body stitches:
1 Row: Ch 1, 42 sc, sl st.
2 Row: 2 ch, 42 hdc in the back loops only, sl st (84).
3-4 Rows: 84 hdc.
Now, make the crab stitch edging:
