Girl Doll Hair Wig Cap Base: Crochet the same way as the first 7 rounds of the head (up to 42 stitches). Curls: When you reach the outer edges of the wig cap; ch 15, then make 2 half double crochets (hdc) in each chain stitch working your way back down. Repeat around the rim to create wavy hair strands.

Sew the top edges together to form the hood, then rest it on the doll's shoulders. Boy Doll Hair (Short Spikes) Wig Cap: Start with 6 sc into MR and increase up to 36 sc. Spiky Strands: Insert your hook into the wig cap stitches randomly; ch 6, then sc 5 back down the chain. Repeat this all over the cap to create short, spiky hair strands.

Assembly and Finishing Touches Neck Support: To prevent the doll's head from wobbling, insert a plastic stick or a piece of wire into the center of the stuffing, extending from the body into the head. Head and Body: Align the 12 stitches of the head with the 12 stitches of the body, and sew them together using a seamless invisible stitch. Outfit Stripes: To get clean, sharp lines, use a seamless color-change technique (changing colors on the last pull-through of the previous stitch). Accessories: Shape a thin black wire into round glasses and secure them to the face. You can also crochet a small backpack or purse by working a basic chain foundation and building a small pouch.
