About the Pattern *Francisca is crocheted in continuous spirals without joining the rounds. You will need a stitch marker to keep track of where the be- girning of each round starts; move the marker up to the first stitch of the next round after fin- ishing the previous one. *When you are changing yarn color, begin the sc with the first color. After the yarn over grab the second color with the hook and bring it through both loops on the hook to complete the stitch, thus allowing the next stitch to be entirely the second color. *Also when you look at the pictures and use them as reference, | just want to let you know that 1am left handed and so the direction in beg- Beginning ch- Chain, cont Continue de2tog Double Crochet 2 jogether (a decreasing st) dec- Decrease inc- Increase hde- Half double crochet md- Round fep- Repeat sc- Single Crochet sc2iog- Single Crochet 2 together (a decreasing st) sl st- Slip Stitch st(s)- Stitch(es) {l- Sets apart a group of stitches to be repeated as awhole. which the rounds are going, and the way the hook is positioned is opposite for those of you that are right handed. *The yarns used for this project are isted in the Final Notes section on the last page. near the images if you're interested in using the same colors and yarns that made this little girlPattern Head *Reminder- do not join the rounds crocheting will be in a continuous spiral, the rounds will increase and decrease in increments of 5.

Final Notes * At this point if you want jointed arms put a craft eye inside of the arm making sure that it’s poking out in the right direction to face the body through both the arm and sleeve. Using a yarn needle and the remairing yarn, pinch the top of the arms together end sew each arm together, then weave in the end. Decide upon the placement of the arms on the body, and with each aim poke the part of the craft eye sticking out of the arm and into the body, then with the fastener on the inside of the body, tighten it as much os you can so that it's securely attached, but also ensure that you can still move the arm with ease.sit you aren't mcking a jointed am, then just pinch each sleeve together ond sew it closed, and then sew the ams to the boy where ver you'd like them to be. + Sew the body to the head going around until you Te comfortable with the security of the stitching, when you've ued up mest of the ycrn finish by by inserting the needle through the neck ond pul- Ing It out the ether side then deing that agcin and tugging tightly while yeu snip the remaining yan, 5 closely as you can get te the neck, move the heed ereund a bit and the end will work iF way bark into the bocly + Decorate the wings by replicating the pattern I've Used, or chy otherway you'd Ike, Iuied 2 of my litfle boy's animal encyclopedias to get ideas forhow to embroider the pattern on the wings. you haven't embreidered the har mouth, this would be the time to do il!
