ATTENTION: It is necessary to make the arms first, and then we will join them to the body.
Puff Stitch Tip: Click here to watch the tutorial. If you prefer not to make this stitch, feel free to continue with the work.
Only stuff the arms up to row 10; you do not need to add stuffing for the remaining part of the arms. However, if you feel it is necessary, you can add more stuffing. Keep in mind that if you add too much stuffing, the arms may appear too open when joining them to the body, so be cautious about the amount of stuffing you use.

First, mark 10 sc in the center of the front, centered on the bangs, as shown in photo 42.
Cut 50 strands of yarn, each 45cm long. Fill in the remaining stitches.
Pass the needle between the last 2 rounds as shown in photo 43.
Pull the yarn through with the needle as shown in photo 44.
Loop it with the needle as shown in photo 45.
You will get the result as shown in photo 46.
Hair/Assembly
Position the hair 6 rows above the eyebrows and secure it firmly with plenty of pins to prepare for making the braids. Divide 25 strands of yarn for each side, including the bangs.
Create the braids with patience to achieve a good result. After completing the braids, use a white strand of yarn to tie them off. Measure both braids and trim the ends; you can leave them at the arm’s length.
Once you have finished making the braids, remove the pins to prepare for sewing. You have two options for attaching the hair:
You can apply silicone glue only at the top and allow it to dry before sewing.
Alternatively, you can attach the hair solely using silicone glue. Secure it with pins and wait for the glue to dry for the recommended duration.
