 Hello!
My name is Dasha and I'm a fan of
amigurumi!
I create and crochet brooches,
toys and also make patterns to
them.
I've been keen on handmade since
my childhood, but only crocheting
has been thrown me into!
Recently, I've started to blog my
cozy Instagram about crocheting

Cut thread for hair of about 15,75 inch. Attach hair to the head as it's
shown in the video below.
There are 2 hair attachment technique in the pattern. You can choose the
best technique for you.
Lengthening technique
Fringe attaching technique

Attach hair from the back in the top of the fringe with horisontal rows
down in each stitch until the ear line.
Then attach some strands of hair along hair line from the side to the ears
(the places are depicted with pins in the photo of previous page).

Then I recommend to attach hair in the back of the head, using

stretching technique.
The width and number of rows of stretchings are done up to you. It
depends on the thickness of your yarn and hair volume. I usually make 2
rows of stretching and 6 rows wide from smooth yarn, and 1 row and 10-
12 rows wide from fluffy yarn.
Attach hair to the empty row after stretching, using one of the
mentioned above technique. Cut hair.
