Hair
Wrap medium brown (or one shade lighter if you prefer) yarn around a 2” piece of cardboard 14-18 times. Stitch up the middle to make a wig. Position the wig on the doll’s head with the stitch seam going from ear to ear. Arrange the hair so there is about three strands in front of each ear and then gather the remainder of the front hair into a pointy cluster over the right eye. Arrange the back half of the hair evenly behind the ears. You can stitch or glue the wig on, but I just stitched on the hat over the wig to hold the wig in place. Trim hair to page boy length for back and forelocks and to stick out as much as you like in the front, shaping the front bunch to a bit of a point.
