every other row for a striped shirt.

Hair
Watch a private video of me assembling the hair HERE (and subscribe to my
Youtube channel! There are free pattern tutorials on there!)
With desired hair color chain 27 and fasten off. Repeat that 11 more times and by
the end you will have 12 strands of hair.

Place the chains on the left side of the head first in a straight diagonal line from
the top center of the scalp to the middle of the left side of the head. Hot glue the
chain closest to the center of the face first and then add more going away from
the center of the face. Fold the excess chain behind the head and glue it down.

Do the right side of the head next. Make a curved, swooping bang from about
three stitches left of the top center chain to the middle of the right side of the
head. Glue more and more going away from the center of the face, folding the
excess behind.

Really place the chains close to one another so the skin doesn’t show in between
the strands of hair.

High Bun With hair color, make an oval.

Round 1: Chain 8, hdc in the third chain from the hook, hdc 4, 3 hdc in the last
chain and rotate your work so you are working on the other side of the chain. 4

next 4 hdc, 2 hdc in each of the next three stitches, hdc 4, 2 hdc in the next 2
stitches. (20 hdc)

stitches, *2 hdc in the next stitch, 1 hdc in the next stitch*repeat from *-* two
more times. Hdc in the next 4 stitches, 2 hdc in the next 1 hdc in the next. Repeat
