Hair
Cut yarn strands twice as long as desired hair length.
The easiest way to do a lot of these is to wrap the yarn around something. I used the shorter side of a DVD case. Then, cut across one side of the wrapped yarn.
Hair is attached in the latch hook style. Insert hook from front to back where you would like strands. Fold strand in half, catch in hook and pull through about 1/2″. Yarn over with both strands and pull through loop. (Same as if you were attaching fringe to a project). Repeat for everywhere you want hair. (See video for help!)
For eyebrows, I took apart the plies on the yarn I used for the hair and used a single ply to embroider eyebrows to ensure it matched the hair perfectly. I embroidered her eyebrows 3 rows above the row with the safety eyes.
One more week and Morgan will be done!! Her dress and boots will be the third and final part of our CAL. Click here for the last part of the CAL!

Hi Amanda been to buy PDF and says $3.59 in ravelery , it says $2.99 on here is there a coupon I’ve missed or something else thankyou xx
amanda
That’s so weird! When I go to check my Ravelry it says $2.99. Maybe yours is set to other currency? That happened to me on Etsy the other day and the patterns I was looking at were over $14! But they were really $3.99 once I logged in. 🙂
