Curly Hair

Using soft taupe, crochet a chain longer than you want the hair to be. Work 3 sc’s into each chain. Be sure to leave a long tail at the beginning and end of each curl to attach to her head.

Play around with different starting chains until you get the lengths that you want.

Pull hat onto head and get it where you want it. Figure out the placement of her eyes, but don’t put the backs on yet. Sew hat onto head, then attach hair underneath hat so that it falls over the loops.

Use the long tails to tie each curl in place. If you want eyelashes, be sure to sew them on before you put the eyes in place. Once you have the hat and hair on, make sure the eye placement is where you want it, and attach the backs. You can sew on a nose and/or mouth if you want to, but I always choose to leave those off because it makes her expression more neutral. You can also use a bit of blush on her cheeks to give her face some color.
