\"Crochet<\/a><\/p>\n

I am loving the doll frenzy I am into right now. I am a little bit OCD when it comes to details. I want the hair to be perfect. Or at least look like good hair (when perfection is impossible).  I did a lot of researching and googling before settling on the way I did it.  I encourage you to do the same, because every technique is interesting and works for a different style, mine is great for buns.  For a larger image, just click on the one below to see it in more details, the order of the images is from left to right, top to bottom.

 <\/p>\n

First of all you will need to make a crochet chain that barely goes around your doll’s head at the hairline. Slip stitch into the first chain and do a round of single crochet.  Use the same yarn you will be using for the hair.  This looks like a headband and it will serve as the hairline and where you will be stitching the hair.<\/p>\n

Pin it around your doll head, do this slowly and carefully, try different styles and placement.<\/p>\n

Sew it onto your doll’s head.<\/p>\n

Using craft wire insert into a stitch and bring it out again to form something like a skinny U.  This will be used for the bun.  Again do this slowly, because changing where it is changes the whole look.<\/p>\n

Using a threaded needle with the hair stitch into the headband and then take the yarn around the wire, keep doing this until the entire head is covered with yarn hair.  <\/p>\n

Next wrap yarn around the wire until it is completely covered with yarn.  I kept going until it was quite thick because I wanted a full bun.<\/p>\n

Because I am making a Granny doll, I added a little bit of white to one of the temples and wrapped the rest around the bun to give it a fun look.  You can skip this or do it with a different color for a totally different and cool look.<\/p>\n
