Assembly Instructions
- Attach the back and front wired frame parts together to form the frame cross and sew the fixation points securely so the frame holds its shape.
- Sew the cradle to the frame by pinning it into position and stitching the cradle outer border to the frame attachment points on the back and front parts.
- Insert the plastic oval between the two base pieces before joining them, then join with 90sc around to form a stable base for the cradle.
- Cut, wrap and insert wires into the back, front and lower frame parts, then bend the wired tubes at the indicated rounds (approx rounds 21-22 and 47-48) and fix them to the frame.
- Sew the four wheels to the carriage frame symmetrically, ensuring they are evenly spaced and secure for balance.
- Position and sew the doll onto the cradle or place the doll inside after finishing; attach arms and ears with sewn thread mounts and weave in ends neatly.
Important Notes
- 💡Use stitch markers to keep track of rounds and to mark bend points and eye placement positions for precise assembly.
- 💡Wrap wire ends with adhesive tape before inserting to prevent poking through the crocheted tubes and to secure the wire inside.
- 💡Cut the plastic base to match the size of the crocheted base parts and place it between the two base layers before joining for a rigid cradle bottom.
- 💡Work with consistent tension and stuff gradually to maintain smooth shaping and avoid lumps in small parts like the head and wheels.
