Hair: with shocking pink

Followed the basic idea of the troll hair from this website:
http://www.justcraftingaround.com/crochet-pattern-poppy-hat/
Cut strands of yarn 12" long. Fold each strand in half. Start at the top of the head and loop each
strand of yarn through each sc. Skip a round and do the same to the next round with the yarn.
Continue until you reach round 17.

Sew the ears on one row below the hair.

This is the front of poppy.

 The back of poppy will be uneven because of the rounds. Finish the row in the back so
the hair will have an even line.

Back of poppy after evening the row. Add more hair in the back until you reach round
25. Just working in the back.

Back of the head

Front of poppy
The gab that you see is where the headband should fit.

Unwind each strand of yarn. There

should be four separate strands
twisted together to form your yarn.
Separate each strand.

Brush out in rounds starting at the top and working your way down with a wire
brush. Something like this one.

Brush until you have all the rounds brushed out.

It will look similar to this when you are done.
