Knot hands and feet Join side seam of hat. Join hat to head using a back stitch, making sure the hat conceals the side seams of the head. Tie a knot in the top of the hat.

Large Teething dolly In the Round

This version is worked in the round, from the legs up. Use an 80cm circular and work with a magic loop.

Abbreviations
TyoL TyoR yo Twist yarn over left - knit into the back of the yarn over Twist yarn over right - reverse yarn over, then knit into front of yarn over yarn over

Instructions
These instructions produce the same outcome as M1L (make 1 left) and M1R (make 1 right). Instead of lifting the yarn between stitches a yarn over is carried out in the row below. This is necessary as there are increases in every row, instead of alternate rows TyoL similar to M1L This will close the yarn over up and give the stitch a left lean TyoR similar to M1R Slip yarn over knitwise, then insert LHN back into yarn over from the back and place on LHN in reversed position. Now knit the yarn over through the front of the stitch (a bit fiddly at first) this will twist the yarn over so that it leans to the right
