Coat
Vita Coco yarn. Clothing color.
We collect a chain of air loops: 34 + 3 ch lifting. We knit in rotary rows.
3 ch lifts count as the first c1h.
We knit the raglan like this: 1 c1h, 1 ch 1 c1h – in one loop. Hereinafter, this combination is designated by the word “raglan”.
1) We knit in the 4th loop from the hook and then along the chain 5 c1h (shelf), raglan, 5 c1h (sleeve), raglan, 10 c1h (back), raglan, 5 c1h (sleeve), raglan, 5 c1h (shelf).

Trying on a fur coat for grandfather. If the length suits, then we fix the thread and cut it off.
Remember that the fur coat should be tied with two more rows of yarn, the length will add Xia.
Sleeve x2
We knit c1h in a circle
trailing rows of 6 rows.
Each row starts 3 ch of lift instead of the first c1h and ends 1 sl-st in the third ch of lift. We also try on a fur coat for our grandfather and notice the length of the sleeve.
Strapping
We tie the fur coat in white: we attach the thread to the first loop, with which we began to knit the fur coat. We tie it like this: (2 sc in, skip 1 loop)
– to end. In each corner we knit 2 sc in one loop.
We tie 2-3 rows with white yarn, fasten the thread, cut it off, hide the tip of the thread.
We tie the sleeves in the same way.
We tie the boots. We attach a white thread to the half-loops of 4 rows of boots and knit 1 sc by free half-loops in each loop. We fix the thread, cut it, hide the tip.
On the inside of the fur coat, I sewed on a small button, and on the opposite side I made a loop.
Assembly
Sew on the mustache in the center of the face between rows 18 and 19.
We sew a nose on the head. Sew for half loops 18 rows of the head and nose loops at the same time.
Mouth tightening Use strong thread.
Point 1 is in the 17-18 row above the center of the nose.
Point 2 is 2 cm below the nose and whiskers in the center.
Point 3 is two loops away from point 2.
Insert the needle into point 1. and display in v.2.
back off two stitches, insert the needle at point 3,
thread over the work. From volume 3 to volume 2. , from v.2 to v.1. Pull the ends and secure them with a strong knot. Hide the ends in the head.
We carry out a similar tightening on the other side: from point 1 to point 4, from point 4 to point 2, withdraw the needle in point 1, pull, fix, hide the ends in the head.
Sew a mouth in the place of the formed tightening.
Take your time, play with the decoration. Mark the places of each detail, pin with pins. And only when the result suits you, start sewing.
For toning my grandfather, I used watercolor pencils. You don’t need to tint a lot, don’t overdo it.
Sew on the ears. From the center of the indentation to each side 5-6 cm and sew at eye level between 16-18 rows.
We embroider eyes.
Sew a pom-pom to the hat.
We put the wig on, fix it with pins on the head, then sew it with ordinary white sewing threads in two folds.
With a slicker we comb the mustache, beard and wig.
We embroider eyebrows. If you wish, you can knit and sew them: 5-6 ch, we knit in the second loop from the hook and then along the chain 1 sl-st, 4 sc, 1 sl-st.
Decorate the hat, fur coat and boots to your liking.
