How to make the hair;
Now we are going to make the hair for the angel. Cut a bunch of strands, how many depends on how think you want the hair to be. I think I used about 50 strands or so. I made my strands about 12 inches, but you can make them shorter however you see fit. The more strands you make, the thicker the hair will be. Cut the strands and make them about 12 inches
Fold the strands in half. We are going to attach them on the pink part on the head. Attach the hair on the pink part. Put the hook under the stitch, then grab the hair yarn with the hook. Pull through and pull up a strand from the hair. Yarn over and make a slip stitch here and let go of the strand. Like you’re making a knot but you’re using the hook to do it.
After you have attached the hair around round 9, work your way over the rest of the pink part. If you want the hair to be thicker just attach more strands on the pink back part of the head, when you’re done make a ponytail at the top of her head.
Body;
