Finish Cukado Doll
If you have crocheted a single head for your Cukado doll, you first sew it with the opening to the body.Mark the center over the front of the head and the body.
Now we close the small openings that have arisen under the arms.To do this, pull the respective end of the thread from the arm to the outside and use it to sew the opening in a line along both edges.Then you secure the thread end inside.
A small opening has also been created between the legs on one side.Here you simply pull the thread end from the first leg to the outside and sew this opening together.Again, the thread end is secured inside.

Customize Cukado dolls
Now you have finished a simple Cukado doll, which can serve as the basis for very individual Cukado dolls. By simply creating some very individual details your Cukado doll will get a very personal touch and you can make almost everything out of it.
If you want you can crochet ears for your Cukado and tie them around the round under the eyes with 5?Stitch the distance to the eye on the right and left of the head.Be careful not to swap your ears and point the longer earlobes down.Perhaps you will get help in thetutorial to tie up small parts.
First, we will make the hair, which will completely change the look of your Cukado doll. You can create long, short, thin, thick, smooth or textured hair in a variety of colors to create a unique character. If you’ve never done this before, the hair tie tutorial will probably help you.
Now you can customize the face as you like by adding small details that have a big impact.
Darning yarn makes it easy to embroider eyebrows, eyelashes, a mouth or freckles in matching colors.
A nose you simply design with the yarn from the body with horizontal stitches around several stitches in the middle between the eyes until it has the desired volume.
With textile paint or acrylic paint, you can easily make cheeks and shades.
Lastly finish the clothes for your Cukado doll and give it a distinctive look. There are different instructions for very different clothes available that fit all dolls of the Cukado series! If that’s not all that easy for you just look for one of the ready-made designs for Cukado Dolls.
