Assembly

Wrap the Haneri piece around your Mini Mimi doll’s neck to create a Vneck and wrap the ends around the doll’s waist. The ends won’t show
once you dress them in their crochet Kimono.
The Haneri piece gives the illusion that there are multiple layers to the
Kimono.
Dress your Mini Mimi doll in the crochet kimono. The Kimono should be
snug around the body.

Put some snap buttons or hook/eye fasteners on both ends of the
obi/obiage to close it when wrapped around the crochet kimono.
