Assembly

Sew the two legs to the bottom of the body, spaced evenly apart at Rnd 18. Attach the arms to the sides of the body between Rnds 12 and 13. Take the four bandage strips and wrap them haphazardly around the head and body to create the classic layered mummy look, securing them in place with small stitches using the yarn tails.

Finishing

Weave in all remaining loose yarn ends securely inside the doll. Ensure safety eyes are locked firmly in place before final handling.

Tips and Common Mistakes

• Do not overstuff the arms, as they should remain flat and flexible.
• Keep your stitches tight so the dark stuffing does not peek through the light cotton yarn.
• Count your stitches at the end of each shaping round to ensure correct shaping.
• Anchor the bandage strips with a few discreet stitches of yarn so they do not unravel over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a different yarn weight for this pattern?
Yes, you can use Worsted Weight or Sport weight yarn. Just remember to adjust your hook size accordingly to maintain a tight fabric and prevent stuffing from showing.

Are safety eyes safe for young children?
Safety eyes are not recommended for children under the age of three due to potential choking hazards. If making this toy for a toddler, embroider the eyes using black embroidery floss instead.

How do I keep my magic ring from coming undone?
Pull the initial tail very tight after working the first round of stitches, and weave the tail securely through the base stitches before cutting it.
