YARN HAIR TECHNIQUE

Root yarn pieces onto crochet yarn chains

With this yarn hair technique you can make a wonderful lush hairdo. If you prefer the crochet cap can be a base to simply add braids or ponytails.

INSTRUCTIONS

Supplies: yarn, crochet hook (I used 4 ply yarn and a #5 crochet hook for this doll)

1) Crochet several 12″ Long chains. You can make more as needed.

2) Establish and mark a hairline on your doll. Pin a strand around that hairline. Tip: keep pins raised, for easy removal at completion of hair making.

3) Wrap chains around head as shown. Hand stitch chains in place. You can also totally cover the scalp if you prefer.

4) Decide length of hair.Wrap and cut a pile of yarn pieces to desired hair length.

5) Using crochet hook, attach yarn pieces one by one or several at a time to crochet cap.

6) Trim and style.
