● Note: change yarn color in the last stitch of round 25. The first stitch of round 26 will be the
milk color.
How to change the color of yarn:
With the two loops from the previous yarn on the hook (fig 2), wrap the new yarn around the
hook, then pull the new yarn through the two loops of the stitch (fig 3).

How to close the end of the round: with a darning needle, insert the remaining yarn through all
the front loops of the stitches on the last round (fig 5). Pull all together at once and sew to hide
the yarn inside the part you are working on.

HAIR

I recommend you use a soft wool yarn, baby wool, merino wool. It’s possible to use acrylic yarn,
but don’t use cotton yarn.
Use pins to mark the line of hair. Put the first pin 6 rounds from the eyes (fig 7) and last pin in
the magic ring (fig 8). It will be beginning of the hair.

 7 8

Use the needle, bring it up through the head at your starting point. Insert the needle again at
the starting point and bring the tip up through the body a short distance away (one round).
Place the working thread behind the needle and pull the needle through the loop (fig 9). Insert
the needle again where it came through and repeat the process again to complete the chain
stitch (fig 10).
Make 12 chain stitches in the front side of the head (fig 13).

9 10 11

12 13

Make 10 chain stitches on the back side. The line of hair will be 2 rounds from the body (fig 15).

Take a very long piece of yarn and fold it in half (about 1 meter or 40 inches) and fix it to the
head.
I did it using a loop of yarn (fig 16). Go to the first chain of the front chain of stitches and insert
the needle across the loop (fig 17), then go to back to the side of the head and insert your
needle across the loop of the chain (fig 38).

16 17 18

The line of chain stitches Back side of head

on front side of head

Don’t make it too loose or too tight (fig 19).

Return your needle to the top and insert it again across the loop (fig 20), then go back to the
back side of the head (fig 21).

19 20 21

Do this 2 times on the front side and 3 times in the back of the head.

22 23 24

Once you have made 1/3 of the hair, go and work on the other side of the part (fig 25, 26, 27).

How to Invisible Fasten off: Using a needle, insert it in both loops of the second stitch after the
