Finishing
Stitch head to body using matching color.

I use a hard cover book to wrap hair yarn around then cut away from book. This will give you pieces of a consistent length. Attach hair to head using a crochet hook to pull a loop through stitches then pulling ends through the loop pull tight.

  12. Mark I used an F hook and Vanna's Choice yarn. I just love the way Vanna's works up in amigurumi.
