4. Curly Hair Wig (Yellow Yarn) To achieve the dense, bouncy curls seen in 1000105361.jpg, we will crochet long chain strands that curl naturally. Round 1: 6 sc in Mr (6) Round 2: FLO 6 inc (12) Starting the curl strands: From each stitch, Ch 45. Turn and starting from the 2nd chain from the hook, work 2 HDC in each chain stitch. This extra density makes the strand spiral automatically. Secure each finished curl to the next base stitch on the wig cap using a Sl St. For the Bangs/Fringe: For the 5-6 strands that fall over the forehead, Ch 15 instead, and work 2 HDC in each chain to make shorter curls. Place the wig onto the head, secure it with pins, and sew it down subtly using yellow yarn. 5. Fluffy Dress (Green and White Yarn) The dress is crocheted separately and opens at the back to easily slide onto the doll. Row 1: Ch 25 (do not join). Starting from the 2nd ch from hook: 24 sc, ch 1, turn. Row 2: (2 sc, 1 inc) * 8 (32), ch 1, turn. Row 3 (Sleeve Separation): 4 sc, ch 6, skip 6 sts (sleeve opening), 14 sc, ch 6, skip 6 sts, 4 sc, ch 1, turn. Rows 4-10: Work even along the upper bodice (32 sc), ch 1, turn. Row 11 (Skirt Base): Work 3 DC in each stitch across. (This rapid increase expands the skirt drastically to create the pleated, voluminous look). Rows 12-18: Join into a continuous round or work in rows, 1 DC in each stitch around to the desired length. Skirt Trim Ruffles (White Yarn) Attach the white lace yarn to the bottom edge of the green skirt. Ch 3, 1 DC in the same st, skip 1 st, Sl St into the next. Repeat this shell pattern all the way around the hem. To achieve the layered petticoat look seen in the photo, you can attach white yarn to the inside loops of an upper row (e.g., Row 14) and repeat the ruffle process. ???? Assembly and Finishing Touches Securing the Head: Wrap a thin layer of fiberfill around the wire sticking out of the neck. Push the head firmly onto the wire frame. Sew the neck stitches to the base of the head using skin-colored yarn. Use tweezers to stuff extra fiberfill into the neck during sewing to prevent a wobbly head. Collar Detail: Using white yarn, crochet tiny chain-loop picots around the neckline to make the lace collar. Sew the gold heart charm right in the center. Hair Bows: Using green yarn, work into a magic ring: (Ch 3, 3 DC, Ch 3, Sl St) x 2 to make two simple bows. Sew them to the sides of the head as shown. Shoe Straps: Attach green yarn to the back-side of the shoe, Ch 8 across the instep, fasten to the opposite side, and decorate with the tiny gold heart accent.
