How to add hair to your amigurumi

This is how I add hair to my ami dolls, I hope it helps! Please write if you have questions and I'll add the answers to this post.

**I'll post the little pattern tomorrow, and Amigurumi 2 is coming in September 2009 :)**

I give hair to my amigurumi dollies as you would if putting tassels in a scarf: I cut a piece of yarn which is double the length that I want the hair to be, I fold it in half and put the loopy end through a stitch in the top of the head, starting in the front of the head, where I want the part to be. I then put the end pieces through the loop and pull so they are right next to the head. Repeat to form a vertical line right in the middle of the head (or where you want the part to be).

Once I’m done with one side of the part I do the other side, making sure to put the second row of hair right next to the first one:


After I’m done with the middle part, I move one of the middle parts all the way to the other side (see the first of the pics that follow) to work on the hair underneath the part (I hope this makes sense!):

I then do the same thing over and over so the whole head is covered by hair! I usually draw an imaginary line from ear to ear and put hair on the upper part of the line.

Pronto!
