Top knit tips
Your doll is made up of several pieces, and it may not be immediately obvious how they go together. The body sits within the base which can't be seen once the doll is fully assembled as it's covered by the skirt. Secure the body within the base, using the cardboard as support, then attach the skirt to cover it. Use the photo as a guide to assembling the different pieces of the petal hat, to ensure you attach them in the right order.
