Notes

Made this doll in ethnic style colors.

Adorned hair with flowers for decoration and to keep it tidy.

Used bigger needle for head and arms because that yarn was a little finer than the main yarn.

Recommendation:
All the increases for the designs in this book are kfb.
One’s pieces will look a little better if one works lifted increases. Doesn’t matter if it’s a left or right lifted inc.

Issue:
For me, the first arm, worked as written, yielded a left arm. Making the second arm would yield another left.
Figured out how to make a right arm.

Applying the hair takes patience, but it’s an important feature.

Helpful Tip:
Place hair strands sparsely over the entire hair cap and then fill in.

The yarn yardage listed does not include the hair, which uses a lot. One needs a couple hundred segments, 16”.
Used ~ 100 g, ~ 275 y for hair strands.
