Hair and Hats (Doll Variations) A. Curly Hair Technique (All Dolls) The curls in the image are made using the chain-and-crochet method. Wig Cap Base: With the hair color, 6 sc in mr, increase each round (12, 18, 24, 30, 36) until you have a cap that fits the top of the head. Curls: Attach yarn to the stitches around the edge of the cap: Chain 15–20, starting from the 2nd ch from hook, work 2 or 3 sc (or hdc) into each chain. This forces the strand to curl naturally. B.
