Make the wire frame. Cut two sections of wire 18 1/2 inches each. Holding both
sections together, (measure 8 inches) bend in a 90 degree angle, (measure 2 1/2
inches) bend again. This forms the legs. Cut two sections 8 inches long. Holding
both sections together wrap about an inch around the center of the leg section
(where the crotch would be). This forms the body. Cut two sections 15 inches
long. This is the arm. Holding both sections center it at the top of the body and
using the body section fold about an inch around the arms. Wrap the entire
frame in tape to secure it.
Insert the wire frame into the legs. Carefully work the frame down the
center of the stuffing. Stuff the rest of the body as you go.
Tip : using the wooden dowel from the fiber fill, twist back and forth while
slowly pushing down all the way to the bottom. Remove the dowel leaving
a void in the stuffing to insert the wire frame into.

At the end of rnd 91, continue to sc until you are at the center of the back.
This is to shift the start point for the next rnd. I did 7sc extra. Do the
number of sc you need to end in the correct place. You will be connecting
the arms in rnd 92. When connecting the arms pay close attention to the
position of the arms. Before beginning rnd 92, put the arms on the wire
frame. Work the frame down the center of stuffing in each arm. Use the
same tip as with the legs.

Cut slits around the collar, bottom, and cuffs. Be careful not to cut into the

on to make it look burnt.

Insert the safety eye into the center of the magic ring. Place the eyes on
the head with the safety eye in the center. The 9sc are the top eyelid and
the 9sl sts are the bottom eyelid. Position each eye with the ch 1 sps
(corners of the eye lids), at a tilt. Sew the eyes into place by sewing along
the post of the sc and into the chain sps.

Remove the safety eye and put super glue in the space it belongs in. Put
the safety eye back in, hold for a few seconds while the glue dries.

Sew the mouth into place on the

head with the ch 1 sps (top corners
of mouth), in the indents created
under the cheeks during the face
sculpt (the green pins).
With red eye shadow put random spots on the head.

Using Buff yarn, make chains. I made three chains 75 chain spaces long,
one chain 200 chain spaces long. Sew the chains around the spots
connecting spots as you go.

Cut a long strand of Buff yarn, weave this strand back and forth through
the chain spaces in random placement.

Use photos as a guide.

Sew the hat to the top of the head.

Sew the ears to the sides of the head. Sew over top of the burn design
you have already worked on the head.

Insert the wooden dowel into the body, leaving about 4 inches to place the
head onto.

Put on the head and sew it into place.

Congratulations, your insomnia doll is now done! I hope you enjoyed

making him as much as I did. The doll now contains small parts and wire
which are a safety hazard for children. The doll is not intended for children.
