There are curious facts when changing the size of a design. In this case, I changed the shape of the head, added details like buttons and boots. These details should follow the color palette of the character and enhance its essence.
In the previous post, I had not yet put the head on it. When I did, I felt it was asymmetrical. I didn't stay curious and added one more twist, moved the position of the eyes and pinned his ears.
I did this because it is a new design and this is the right time to make changes to the pattern and play with the shapes. Then I will keep the final design.
These wooden buttons are my favorites when designing overalls. Also, as a kid I loved to wear jumper dresses and carpenter style pants...I would run all over the place (and fall down too, jaja).
For this reason, Juana wears a removable dress. Juana small size does not wear buttons, although her dress is also removable. True, I think these buttons give her a vintage style, as if to reconnect with our childhood.
The first time I saw this type of stitch was for the classic Tunisian, then I made a modification for Prisilla's dress. Now again I modified it for a large size dress (the doll is 20 cm tall).
According to the results of a survey I did a few days ago on instagram, composite stitches are common. Soon I will upload a video detailing the types of stitches used specifically in this dress, because I haven't seen it before.
- I say composite stitches when 2 complementary rows or rounds are necessarily required to obtain a specific texture.*
Juana comes recharged and ready to scurry the insects in the fields of Quinoa. Here I emphasize that in the design of Mini Juana, the slippers are crocheted as part of the body. This time I did it separately, so that it would be a more didactic toy and above all, as it is a removable piece, it can be washed without complications.
I'm very, very close to finish Juana and start with the design of her pet. Guess which animal it will be?.
