Notes
I made this amigurumi doll using the “Yarn Under Single Crochet”
technique. This technique makes the stitches tighter and appears
more aligned.
I also used a half-color changing technique to achieve cleaner lines
when changing colors from one row to another.
When working on the hairpiece, I used the underside of the piece
as the “outside” or the side that is showing. The curls of the
strands will follow a natural curl towards the face.
I used the invisible fasten-off method to neatly finish the work
before I weaved in my ends.

Cut and leave a long tail to attach the body to the head by threading
the yarn tail through the hole on the bottom of the head. Then sew it to
the top of the head and then sew it to the neck again to secure it. Do
this a few times to make sure your head is secured.
