Notes

Gift for pain management Dr. I’ve always teased him about me feeling like a voodoo doll after my treatments. So I figured I’d make one for him for my 2 year anniversary

I’ve more than noted here for stash - plan to combine skeins if necessary

I should’ve read ahead in the pattern - once you get the legs and arms done, you take out the provisional stitches in the head then rip back 5 rows - if I had read that i would’ve put in a lifeline to make my life easier

Eyes were a bit tricky but that’s just my inexperience. Biggest issue is criss stitching the heart. Might have been better to do it before I stuffed body and closed it all up . For me its hard to make correct cross stitches when doll is stuffed. ..might be better to cut out a heart with pinking shears and tack it down
