JOIN HEAD TO BODY
To make the head of your amigurumi movable, thread
yellow yarn and insert the needle from the center of the
magic ring on the wig and out from the neck opening
(see figure 1). Count down 8 rounds from the top of
the neck. Now insert your needle through the neck at
this point, back through the neck opening on the head,
bringing it out again from the magic ring on the wig.
Slide the head down the two strands of yarn until it sits
perfectly on the neck. Knot the yarn ends together a few
times to secure. Clip off excess yarn.
CAP

Row 1: With red, ch 5. Starting from second ch from
the hook, sc across, ch 1, turn. (4)
Row 2: sc across, ch 1, turn. (4)
Row 3: With green, BLO sc across, ch 1, turn. (4)
Row 4: sc across, ch 1, turn. (4)

Row 6: sc across, ch 1, turn. (4)
Repeat rows 3-6 until there are a total of 30 stripes
(each stripe = 2 rows).
To join the ribbed band, bring both ends of the band
together and join with a sl st. We will now continue
working in rounds.
