All of the previous Huggable Buddies have had Sleepy Eyes. Someone that didn't quite suit her! This little lady is ready to dance & definitely isn't about to fall asleep. I tried quite a few different eyes before settling on these 15mm solid black eyes.
Betsy is 18 inches tall & has built in tights, leotard, tutu & ballet slippers. Her hair is in a bun & is made in one piece. All of the limbs are made first & attached as you go so there is very little assembly! All of the little finishing details really make this girl special: the bow & headband in her hair, the laces on her slippers, & the braided straps on her leotard. There are step-by-step directions on how to do all of them!
To make Betsy you'll need:
- An 8mm (L) hook
- Bernat Blanket Yarn in 4 colors:
- Hair: 25 yards
- Tights: 30 yards
- Skin: 55 yards
- Outfit: 70 yards
- Lots of stuffing!
- Blunt needle large enough for Super Bulky yarn
- 15mm eyes
