42. BLO: (skip 1 stitch, 1 sc) × 6 (6)
43. BLO: (skip 1 stitch, 1 sc) × 3 (3)

Fasten off, cut the yarn, and weave in the end.

Edging the Florets

Edge the florets with dark green yarn. Start with the center floret. Join the yarn in the middle and ch 3. Insert the hook under a previously unworked loop and crochet: (1 dc, ch 2) × 3.

Continue counterclockwise in a spiral, working (1 dc, ch 2) × 3 into each unworked loop.

Refer to the photo—you may work (1 dc, ch 2) × 2 into each loop instead. Adjust the fullness as desired.

Edge the side florets in the same way.

Finishing

Glue on the eyes. Embroider the eyebrows and smile. Add a little blush to the cheeks.

You can twist the glasses from wire. Search YouTube for a tutorial using the phrase “wire glasses for dolls.”
