FACE SHAPING
Do not overstuff the head if you want to shape it properly.
Otherwise, it will be difficult to shape because there will be no allowance for
stretching.
After shaping the face, stuff it firmly and tightly.
Make sure the area between the two eyes is slightly indented.
Stuff the cheeks and forehead firmly with fiberfill.
EYE SCULPTING
1. To create eye indentations, thread a strand of yarn doubled over and insert
the needle through the back of the head. As shown in the photos, bring the
needle out at the side, top, and bottom of the eye area, then insert it again and
bring it back out through the back of the head.
2. From the point where the needle exits, insert it back into the same spot
and bring it out at the opposite side of the eye. As shown in the photos, insert
the needle at the top of the eye area and bring it out through the same point at
the back of the head where you first inserted it. Pull the yarn firmly to create
the indentation and tie it securely.
Repeat the same process for the other eye.
EYELASH EMBROIDERY
I embroidered the eyelashes using embroidery floss.
You can also separate the strands of cotton yarn and use them for
embroidering.
You may refer to the photos while embroidering.
For the white part of the eyes, embroider without separating the yarn strands.
EYEBROWS
Embroider the eyebrows 5 stitches above the eyelashes,
with a width of 4 stitches.
Insert the needle one row below.
MOUTH
Embroider the mouth 4 rows below the nose, over 3 stitches.
NOSE
Embroider 1 row below the eye, over 3 stitches, using the wrapping technique.
EARS
** I crocheted the ears using a 1.25 mm Crochet Hook.
LEFT EAR :
Count 6 stitches sideways from the eyelashes and 5 stitches downward.
Secure the yarn.
Work upward: 1sc, 1dc, 2tr into the same stitch, 1dc, 1sc,
ch1 and cut the yarn.
RIGHT EAR :
Count 6 stitches sideways and secure the yarn.
Work downward: 1sc, 1dc, 2tr into the same stitch, 1dc, 1sc,
ch1 and cut the yarn.
(The ear should be 5 stitches long.)

the head you crocheted, as individual tension may vary. Increase or decrease the
chain count as needed.

Repeat this process to make 9 hair strands in total.
12. chain 15, starting in the 2nd chain, 14 SL.ST,
Attach to the next sc on the wig with SL.ST - SL.ST.
Repeat in this manner until the end of the row to complete the hair strands. Make

15. Attach the yarn to the FLO loops from Round 9.
chain 15, starting in the 2nd chain, 14 SL.ST ,
Attach to the next sc on the wig with SL.ST - SL.ST.
Repeat this process until you reach the end of the FLO section, making hair
strands all the way across.
Pin the wig to the head as shown in the photos.
I sew the wig onto the head, but you may use glue instead if you prefer.
Crocheted Hair Strands (Make 2)
1. 6sc in the magic ring
2. (inc)*6 = 12sc
3. Begin making the long hair strands.
chain 75 - starting in the 3rd chain 73 HDC - Attach the strand to the small base
piece with a SL.ST, skipping 1 sc on the base.
chain 75 again, starting in the 3rd chain 73 HDC - Attach the strand to the small
base piece with a SL.ST, skipping 1 sc on the base.
Repeat this process until you have a total of 6 hair strands.
Then braid the strands very tightly to create a plait. The tighter the braid, the
more pronounced the curled effect on the sides will be. If the braid does not
curl enough, mix 2 tablespoons of glue with 1 tablespoon of water.
Apply this mixture to the hair strands and shape them as desired.
