To Assemble Voodoo Doll
Gently press the two knitted pieces.
Place a circular piece of white felt for backing behind the face and embroider or sew buttons for
features.
Place the two pieces together, knit side facing out. With the yarn ends bind together the two pieces
using overcast stitch. Start at the feet and end at the “shoulders”.
Stuff the feet, body and arms. Insert small amounts of stuffing at a time, pushing into the arms and legs
with a finger or knitting needle. Stuff firmly.
Continue sewing round the head, stuffing as you go.
Thread the yarn for hair through the edge of the head.
Sew heart button or felt shape to body.
