Sewing

For the chin you will sew in the middle of the face about the first 3 rows of the head. Make sure it is in the center before sewing.

The hood you will sew on the back of the neck where the white and black join. Place the V shape around the neck and sew. Make sure it is even on both sides of the head.

Skirt

In black

Turn the body upside down to make sure the correct side of the rounds are facing outwards.

R1: surface crochet around round 6 (24)
R2-R7: SC around ~6 rounds (24)

R5: (3SC, INC) X8 (40)
R6-R14: chain 1 and turn, 40 SC around and repeat. (40) ~9 rounds. *Add more if you want a bigger hood.*
For a baggier hood add (4SC, INC) X8 (48) and continue with the rest of the rounds.
There will be a split, almost like a V.
Turn the hood where the V is up and you will regular decrease to make the hood fit the neck better for sewing.

No-sew chin

Make the chin first and do not stuff. Fold in half and 4SC close. Weave in tail.

The next round in the [J] is attaching the chin. You may need to adjust chin placement to line up with the side depending on your tension
