I think these two might be my favorite. The pictures don’t show how sparkly she is. I also love their expressions and striped arms. Since they are hot and cold, Katy Perry music runs through my head when I look at them.
Look at all this sparkly hair.
I also love how long I made the arms.
Let me know if there are any problems or any of the instructions are unclear. They have not been tested. If you make one use #drunkenauntwendy when posting so I can find it.

Note: Entire project is worked in the round. Use a stitch marker or a scrap piece of yarn to mark the beginning of each row. Then you don’t have to count every row. Do not join unless instructed to.
Parentheses indicate a repeat. Repeat the stitches in the parentheses for the number of times indicated.
The bracketed number [] is the number of stitches at the end of each row.
I spread my increases out so there isn’t a seam on the finished piece. If you do not like this method, you can do regular increases.
If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at drunkenauntwendy@gmail.com.

HAIR
Frostina only
Cut several strands of diamond fifteen inches long. Fold in half and attach with a slip stitch.
Leave the first two rows without hair to sew the head flames on.
I prefer to attach hair every other row.
After you attach the head flames, you can add some more hairs to fill in any visible bald spots.
MOUTH – Make one
Both have the same mouth it is just turned a different direction.
In Black
Ch 7
Round 1: SL ST, SC, HDC, DC, TC, DTC, CH 1.
