Mark your rounds with a stitch marker or safety pin. Gauge is not important as long as you keep your tension even through the entire piece. Using a smaller yarn and hook will give you a smaller doll, as well as increasing the size of yarn and hook will give you a bigger doll.

For attaching hose and hose connectors, place small tail of hose through middle of the connector. Tie together with the tail you used to pull your ring tight. Clip tails of knot. Do same for other connector at opposite end of the hose. Now place one hose connector on head and sew in place. Place other hose connector to oxygen tank and sew in place. When sewing in place run one of your stitches through the hose from underneath as well to make it more secure.
