Symbols:
* An asterisk is used to mark the beginning of a portion of instructions that will be worked more than once.

() Parentheses are used to set off and clarify a group of stitches that are to be worked all into the same space or stitch and to provide additional information to clarify instructions.

† The dagger identifies a portion of instructions that will be repeated again later in the same round or row.

SPECIAL STITCH: js (jump stitch): Draw up a lp in next st of previous row, below the row you are working - 2 lps now on hook, yo and draw through both lps on hook. Do not work in the current row behind js. This will create the zigzag pattern on dress.

BELT FINISHING
STEP 1: Place belt around doll’s waist with ends in front. Pull ends even. Pass ends through heart concho, crossing one end over the other. Pull ends so belt fits waist snugly.

Using tapestry needle and working into sc row ends, lace boot tightly up front opening. Tie lace ends into a 1-1/2-in. bow at top of boot. Knot yarn ends about 1in. from bow (to keep from unraveling), trim ends close to knot. Rep for other boot.

TRADING BEADS
Cut 39-in. black cord into three 13-in. (33cm) pieces. String 24 assorted colored giant seed beads onto 1 piece.
