I looked about for different ways to do eyes and settled on one I could do without going out to buy more things. I crocheted them out of #10 crochet cotton and sewed them on. I think this method has a lot of potential for different shapes and colors and styles, all resulting in flat, secure eyes safe for anyone to chew on.
Then I looked at hair. I loved one tutorial using yarn fringe (link), but I wanted to try out the look of crocheted locks. So I made lines of locks and sewed them on in four layers, starting at the bottom and working up to the part on top.
Her hair is beautiful, but rather heavy. It’s certainly not for the faint of neck.
Her mouth is just a wee line of embroidery with #10 crochet cotton. I’m not sure about the shape and may try again.
Next: to figure out some clothes!
Happy Yarning.
