Notes

One extra rnd of increases. An extra round of decreases at top of neck.

For the base, I cut 2 circles of corrugated cardboard. I put the ‘grain’ at right angles to each other and taped them together for strength.

I decided I needed to have a head that measures 18”, so I crocheted a cover for this head. I used the same yarn held double and a K hook. Increased to 36 stitches. I then determined this wouldn’t make it large enough, so I switched to fpdc for the rest of the cover.

I used 100g of yarn (approximately 230 yards)

When the cover is on the mannequin, it is a touch top-heavy. I may find I have to stableize the base or add weight to the base. But now I have a convertible mannequin!
