Mint Cardigan Assembly & Fit Check

Slip cardigan on from the sleeves first, then body. Button the three buttons so the fronts meet evenly with ~2–3 mm overlap. Sleeve cuffs should end just at the wrist bump, hem right above the dress waist.

---

Final Assembly & Styling

1. Sew arms to body at the shoulder line so hands reach the dress side seams.
2. Place shoes on feet and secure straps.
3. Dress lamb: slide on dress from feet up, rotate so the dots are centered; the hem should sit below knee.
4. Put on cardigan and button.
5. Place hat slightly back on the head so ears peek out below the brim.
6. Sling cassette crossbody from right shoulder to left hip; bag rests at hip level.
7. Slip the crochet ticket into the left hand with a few tack stitches or a tiny thread loop so it looks “held.”

Face & Finishing Touches

• For a soft blush, lightly brush a hint of dry cosmetic blush onto cheeks.
• Secure any knots inside the head/body.
• Steam-block only clothing and accessories from a distance to relax stitches; do not steam the stuffed body.

---

Troubleshooting

• Topples forward: Add a small washer/plastic coin inside each shoe sole before stuffing, or a pinch of pellets enclosed in a scrap of fabric.
• Cardigan too snug/loose: Adjust foundation chain by ±4 sts, keeping even counts at armhole split.
• Dress rides up: Add a thin elastic thread through the waistline or one rnd of BLO sc to grip body fabric.
• Hat brim curls oddly: Re-steam and pin while drying; if needed, add one more rnd with (7 sc, inc) ×6 to widen.
