Hair (brown)

Peter has a simple short hairline. You will embroider a short hairline using surface stitches.

• Cut small lengths of brown yarn. Using a tapestry needle, stitch short horizontal/angled stitches around the crown starting above the brow line to create a rounded hairline. Keep stitches short and sparse.

Face Details

• Eyes: safety eyes 9 mm set between R9-R10. Or embroider eyes with black and add white highlight with tiny white stitch.
• Eyebrows: embroider with dark brown or black thread above eyes with short satin stitches.
• Mouth: embroider a wide oval mouth using black or dark brown yarn; add a small white line at top for teeth if desired. Peter has a simple oval mouth shape. Add faint stitching for double chin lines at base of jaw for that characteristic look.

Shirt Collar & Buttons

Using white yarn, single crochet about 10-14 sts along the neck seam to make a narrow collar flap and stitch it down in place. Add 2 small French knot-like buttons with black or dark yarn down the shirt center.

Assembly

1. Sew head to body with whip stitch or mattress stitch so seam is neat; hide tail under hair/neck area.
2. Sew arms to sides between the white shirt rounds and upper torso; secure firmly.
3. Sew legs into the lower body opening; stuff and shape before closing. Make sure leg spacing gives correct stance.
4. Add hair and facial embroidery last. Use safety eyes before closing head.
5. Weave in all loose ends and trim excess yarn. Use a drop of fabric glue at the knot of safety eyes if desired for extra security (optional).

Options & Tips

• Use shorter rounds for a chubbier Peter: add extra increase rounds on the body to make a wider belly.
• For a removable shirt, work the white shirt as a separate tube with a back seam and sew a small snap or button at the back.
• If making for small children, replace safety eyes with embroidered eyes and secure all small parts.
• To get the cartoon silhouette, emphasize the belly curve and short legs.

Finishing

Block lightly by shaping with hands and a small amount of steam from a distance if your yarn permits. Avoid direct heat on safety eyes. Label the doll with care instructions: hand wash cold, reshape, lay flat to dry.
