Kuho’s face is done in flesh plarn with a spiral of sc’s. Her eyes are two huge buttons. The white spots in the center of the eyes are paper cuttings from a paper puncher. Her lips is also a button - a leaf-shaped button. I am so lucky that button is in my button stash.

But for me, the crowning glory of this pattern is the hair. The stitch is inspired from the popping cables stitch that I found in the book Crochet Stitches: Visual Encyclopedia. I just modified it a bit to serve my purpose.
