Head

Fasten off the 1st leg you make; do not fasten off the 2nd leg yet.

Body

To form the body, we are going to join the two legs together.

With the 2nd leg still on your hook, insert hook into the last stitch on the 1st leg and make a sc stitch to join them together. Place your stitch marker in this stitch. (See images below)

Assembly

1) Pull the dress over the body. It should fit pretty sung. Pinch the edges of the dress to form the pleats.

2) Roll the collar of the dress down to expose the neck so you can sew the head to the body.

3) Sew the head to the body. Hornet’s head should be slightly tilted back at an angle, not straight up and down. Once the head is sewn on, roll the collar back up.

4. Cut out two small oval shapes from a sheet of black craft felt that are approx. 2.5 cm tall. Apply them to the face with hot glue or a felting needle.
