The handles should be exactly centered on the sides. 6 sc, 6 sc with 1 arm (fold the arm in half and knit on both sides), 7 sc, 6 sc with the second arm, 1 sc (26)
36.26 sc, sl-st
Cut the thread, leave the end for sewing on the head.
We make out the eyes
Before we start knitting the head, we need to shape the eyes. Cut out white circles from felt, 4 – 5 mm larger in size than the size of the eyes. My eyes are 16 mm, the size of the felt circles is about 20 mm.
We insert the eyes into the felt and glue the eyelashes with super glue.
After you have prepared the eyes, you can start knitting the head.

We knit together 2 parts of the shell, fill in the process.
Skirt dresses
We attach the thread to the free half-loops, where we began to knit the dress.
1. We knit in a circle the increments in all loops dc, sl-st
2.dc, inc we knit the whole row, sl-st.
Cut the thread, hide the tip.
Face tightening
Mark with needles the places of the ties in the same way as shown in the photo. The mouth points are located above and below the 19th row, obliquely at a distance of 1 sc.
1. Insert the needle to the side of the head and output to 1 (.), Insert into 2 (.) And output to 4 (.). From 4 (.) We deduce in 3 (.), Then again in the original (.) On the side of the head.
We tighten the thread, fix the eyes. And we do the same thing again, they are the second time at the same points. We tighten the thread as we need it (do not overtighten it too much). We tie the ends of the thread together and hide it inside the head.
We made the first tightening.
Let’s move on to the second.
We insert tglu from the bottom of the head and output to (.) 5, from (.) 5 we output to (.) 6. From 6 (.) We output to (.) 7, from 7 to 8 (.). From 8 (.) We deduce to the original (.) At the bottom of the head. We tighten, and we go through the second circle at all these points.
We tighten, tie and hide the ends of the thread inside the head.
The second tightening is ready.
Third tightening.
We also insert the thread from the bottom of the head, and output it to 9 (.), From 9 to 10 (.). from 10 (.) we deduce to 11 (.), from 11 to 12 (.). From 12 we bring it to the original (.) At the bottom of the head, pull it up and make the second circle.
The third tightening is ready.
After we finished making the tightening, we need to glue the felt on the eyes to the head, because now it does not stick out beautifully with us. We embroider the mouth in the recess that appears from the dips. I inserted the needle into the lower points of the mouth weights.
Assembly:
Sew the head to the body
Sewing the shell in a circle to the back
Shoes design:

2 – 3. We knit in the same way, but we only hook the hook on both sides of the loop, 15 sc in rotary rows.
The end of the thread remained at the corner of the visor, we do not cut the thread, but we tie the cap.
We tie the side edge of the visor, then we tie the entire cap in a circle, and the other side of the visor.
