Special Instructions: Begin pattern with the first row of 3 orange beads. To make the 3-D hair, using 1 strand, add on 1 regular and 1 mini orange bead. Go back through the bead marked #1. With the same strand, add on beads 2, 3 and 4. Go back through bead 3. Add on beads 5 & 6. Now with the other strand, go through beads 6, 5, 3 & 2. This completes this row. With one strand, make the ponytail and continue with the rest of the pattern. For help with the feet, see the Otter pattern. If desired, before tying the last knot, you can attach Misty’s hand to her hip by going through the last bead of her hand as shown. Pull tight and tie a knot.
