Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail for sewing. Stuff the body firmly.

Remember those front loops we left on Round 19? Now we’ll attach the skirt to them! Use gray yarn.

Stuff the arm up to approximately Round 25. Then, work enough extra stitches to position the thumb to the side. Make 1 turning chain and crochet both sides of the arm together with 7 sc. Cut yarn, leaving a long tail for sewing.
