Assembly Instructions 🔧

Step 1: Prepare All Pieces ✅

Ensure all pieces are properly stuffed and loose ends are woven in (except sewing tails).

Step 2: Attach Head to Body 👤

Position head on body opening and whip stitch securely all the way around. Make sure head is centered and faces forward. 🪡

Step 3: Attach Legs 🦵

Position legs at bottom front of body, side by side with toes facing forward. Sew securely through both the body and top of legs, ensuring they’re symmetrical.

Step 4: Attach Arms 💪

Position arms at sides of body at shoulder level (approximately round 9–10 of body). Sew securely in place, ensuring arms hang naturally at sides.

Step 5: Add Hair Cap 💇‍♀️

Sew hair cap to top of head, covering rounds 1–10 of the head. Center it properly with the face.

Step 6: Add Hair Strands ❤️

If not already done, attach hair strands all around the hair cap. Gather hair into two sections on either side of head and tie with red yarn approximately 2–3 cm from the head to create pigtails. Adjust positioning to be symmetrical.

Step 7: Add Headband 🎀

Position headband across the top of head where hair cap meets forehead, over the hair. Sew in place at both sides and the back to secure.

Step 8: Dress the Doll 👗

Slip dress over head and down onto body. The dress should sit at neck level. You can tack it in place with a few stitches at the back neck if desired.

Step 9: Attach Apron 🤍

• Position apron bib on center front of chest, just below the neck
• Sew top edge of apron bib to chest 🪡
• Sew apron skirt to bottom edge of bib with a few gathering stitches to create fullness
• Take one strap from top left corner of bib, cross it over left shoulder, bring across back diagonally, and sew to right bottom of apron/waist area
• Take second strap from top right corner of bib, cross it over right shoulder, bring across back diagonally, and sew to left bottom of apron/waist area (creating an X in back) ✖️

Step 10: Attach Collar ✨

Wrap collar around neck over the dress neckline with scalloped edge facing outward. Overlap ends at back of neck and sew together. The collar should frame the face nicely. 🎀

Step 11: Final Touches 💫

• Check that all pieces are secure ✅
• Trim any excess yarn ends ✂️
• Shape hair pigtails evenly 💇‍♀️
• Adjust dress and apron positioning 👗
• Ensure doll can sit and stand properly 🧸

Styling Tips 💡

• For extra-full pigtails, add even more hair strands (up to 200 pieces total) ✨
• Tie pigtails with contrasting ribbon for variety 🎀
• Use fabric stiffener on hair if you want the pigtails to hold a specific shape 💪
• Add a tiny apron pocket with a small piece of felt if desired 👛
• Embroider “I love you” on the chest area for an authentic Raggedy Ann touch ❤️

Care Instructions 🧼

• Spot clean only with mild soap and water 💧
• Avoid machine washing as it may damage the doll’s shape 🚫
• Reshape hair and clothing after cleaning ✨
• Store away from direct sunlight to prevent yarn fading ☀️🚫
• Keep away from small children under 3 years if using safety eyes ⚠️

Customization Ideas 🎨

• Make her in different dress colors (pink, yellow, green, or red) 🌈
• Add tiny accessories like a miniature book, basket, or flower bouquet 📚🧺💐
• Create a matching Raggedy Andy doll as a companion 👫
• Make mini versions by using sport weight yarn and a 2.0 mm hook 🧸
• Add embroidered details to the apron like flowers or her name 🌸

Troubleshooting Tips 🔍

If the head wobbles: Add more stuffing or sew through to the body in multiple places for extra security. 💪

If arms don’t hang right: Make sure you didn’t overstuff the upper arm area. It should be flexible. 🤸

If legs splay out: Sew them closer together at the body attachment point. 🦵

If hair looks thin: Add more strands! Don’t be shy—Raggedy Ann is known for her full hair. 💇‍♀️✨

If dress is too tight: Add more chains to the starting chain (try ch 44 or ch 48). 👗
