Hair construction:

1. For the hair, pin many strands of black yarn (length reaching shoulders approx.)
and begin to sew with back stitches, a straight line from front to the back until it
covers all the scalp.
2. Make a few stitches on the sides to the scalp too, so that your little tails don’t move.
Prepare your hair round buns. The remaining hair of your doll’s tails will act as a
stuffing. If you need to cut them more do it carefully with scissors.
3. Cut yarn and thread through a tapestry needle draw it through the remaining
stitches of you hair round buns and put tail hair inside and pull tight. Sew it in
place.
4. Embroider a little fringe with black yarn. Eyes and nose with thick black thread
and thin black thread. Then embroider smile and add blush.
5. Pin neck line and sew it with invisible stitches.

The hair for this doll is made the same way, but this one has triangular hair buns. Sew
sakura flower with invisible stitches and embroider branches with brown yarn with
back stitches, making sure all branches match upper and lower body. Add pink round
beads for buds. If you don’t have round beads you can embroider them with bullion
stitch.
