General instructions
R 1 (4 sc, sc inc)xN, 7 sc [74]
BLO Insert your hook underneath the back loop only and make the st.
FLO Insert your hook underneath the front loop only and make the st.
TLO Insert your hook underneath the third loop of the st.
{ ... } Make all the sts inside curly brackets in the same st.
sk N When it is written sk followed by a number, it means that you will have to skip that
number of stitches of the previous round, you will not crochet that N number of stitches.
FLO* [...] When you see that a round or row begins with FLO (just FLO), it means that you will
crochet the whole round in front loops only, but, when you see FLO * [...], it means that
you will crochet only in front loops the stitches placed inside the square brackets, and
make the rest of the stitches of that round on both loops.
Now get your yarn and hook and let's get started!

Strands
Always start making the strands in the 3rd chain
from hook.
F48 First layer
Do not cut yarn, you will now make the first layer
of strands, which will be joined to the last round
of the base with slst. For every 2 stitches of that
round, one strand will be made (20 strands in
total).
Strands 1-20: ch 54, (hdc, hdc-inc)x8, 36hdc
[60]. Skip the next st of the base and join to the
F49 next one with slst (F51).
Second layer
Turn your work, and with the wrong side facing
you, make 2 slst to get to the back loops of
round 4 of the base. In this layer, you will make 16
strands (1 for every 2 stitches of round 4). Repeat
the same sts as before for the strands.
Third layer
F50 Make 3 slst to get to the front loops of round 1 of
the base. In this layer, you will make 4 strands (1
for every 2 stitches of round 1). Repeat the same
sts as before for the strands (F52).
When you finish the last strand, FO.
In total you will make 40 strands of 60 sts each
one.

Headband
Measure the top of the doll’s head, from one
side to the other. Cut a piece of wire, the length
of your previous measurement multiplied by
two, and add about 2cm. Once the wire is cut,
fold it as shown in F75, placing both ends of the F81 F82
wire in the center. Then twist the wire and cover
most of it with tape, leaving the ends uncovered
(F76-F77). Fold the wire as shown in F78, the
folded wire has to match the shape of the doll’s
head (F79).
Then with brown yarn, make a slipped ring and tie
