Hair
When making hair for the doll, my technique I normally used a small book or you can use a piece of card board to hold yarn together it depend on how long of doll hair you want.
More detail on making doll hair on my previous Amy girl free amigurumi pattern.
For me my hair doll approximately 4 inch each side.
Then cut it one side.
Then we divided yarn into many groups and tight it up.
Then we sew it on the doll head but before that we should put doll eyes first because you can know and adjust the position of the hair.
We used the similar colour of thread or embroidery for sew the hair doll.
Finishing
Sew head to body first then arms.
Add decoration like button to the shoe or body by using craft glue.
Happy crocheting!
