Head and hair
Rnd 26 : (mark the beginning of the round with contrasting yarn, this will be the middle
of the back of the head) 19 sc, inc, [2 sc, inc] x 11, 19 sc (84)
Now we will add hair. Wind the blue yarn around a book, a notebook, a piece of
cardboard or anything suitable and cut strands of yarn approximately 30 cm in length
3
Fastening the hair goes as follows: push the hook from inside the head out, through the
magic circle. Hook a strand in the middle and pull it a bit inside, making a loop. With
this yarn on the hook, insert the hook into the next stitch around the magic circle, hook
another strand and pull it through to the inside if the head and through the loop on the
hook, making a chain on the inside of the head. Keep going around from the inside,
pulling in strands and hooking them in a chain. Tighten and pull each loop so that the
chain lies as close as possible to the head.
Make 8 complete rounds, starting from the center of the head and the magic circle. For
the first three rounds insert strands in every stitch, and for the next five in every other
stitch. If you are using yarn thicker than 250m/50g, you will need to unravel/un-ply the
yarn strands into thinner strands and use those. Keep in mind that this manner of
attaching hair makes for a thick head of hair.
Mark the hair line with contrasting thread, paying attention to the yarn marker you left for
the back of the head and making sure that it’s centered.

Continue adding the hair inside the hair line in every other stitch and every other row.
With thinner yarn, do every stitch in every row. At the hairline border itself insert hair in
every stitch in every row. Fasten the last hair strand with sewing thread, for greater
security you can paste glue on the hair chains inside the head.
Fasten off and leave enough thread to shape the mouth, eyes and nose afterwards. Fill
the head completely, making sure that it is full enough to hold the shape well, but also
that you can later tighten mouth stitches with the yarn needle when shaping the face.
Make sure that the head does not end up vertically stretched, it should be fairly flat.
Now, every hair should be divided further into four strands. Grab the thread near the
head, untwist it a little between the thumb and forefinger and separate a strand with a
hook, pulling it away from the rest. Do the same for the other three strands/plys in the
yarn and for every hair on the head. Gently comb the hair. If you want it to be straight
you can spray it with water before combing.

If you are making a doll from different weight yarn, you need to adjust your measures to
fit the head. The head circumference of my doll is 18 cm/7 inch (without hair), so the
width of an eye should be 1.5 cm/0.4 inch .To calculate the size of your eye you need
to multiply the head circumference in cm by 1.5 and divide by 18. Choose the
appropriate number of strands of floss and an appropriate hook to get the needed size
of the eye.
Change the thread to rapsberry and make a slst in the back loop only of the first stitch
of the previous row. Continue crocheting in both loops, starting from the same stitch you
slst into :

Cut the thread, leaving enough for sewing. Use the same thread to embroider the white
shine on the pupils.
Haircut
Tie all the hair on top of the head, comb it neatly and cut off any excess length.
20
Remove the tie and gently comb the hair again. Separate a small portion of hair for
bangs with a crochet hook (try to divide the strands so that there is no bald spot). Cut
the bangs to desired length (better cut less in one go, and readjust the length of bangs
to suit the face).
21
Ears
Embroider the curve of the ears using chain stitch and skin colored yarn. Without cutting
the thread, crochet 1 row of sc in the embroidered stitches, starting from the bottom and
going to the top. Fasten off, cut the yarn and weave in the end.
22
Sew eyes to the head. With black thread floss two-ply embroider eyes and eyelashes.
With brown thread embroider mouth and eyebrows.
23
Take a wire of about 15 cm/6 in. in length and form a frame, as in the photo. Fold the
wire and wrap the ends in masking tape. Insert the wire into the body so that a piece
is sticking out.
