Thank you so much for this tutorial, it's always the hair that lets me down when I knit dollies '~) Now I have a good image base to learn from Thank you. You really should publish a book Janine as many people have mentioned before, it would be a fantastic way of getting young ones to take up & learn knitting, this one could be about Granny Square going to the hairdressers '~)

Oh gosh – she's fab! I was given a whole load of flesh coloured knitters fabric (off cuts from the museum covering a maniquin I think?) that would probably be ideal for doll making – any good to you?
