Hair
With grey, use a tapestry needle to cover Impa’s head with hair. Use a silk stitch to go from her brow line to ponytail, leaving a loop at the nape of the neck with each stitch. Cut these loops and then tie together in a ponytail with another piece of grey yarn. Stitch in some yarn for bangs.
Detail (optional)
Cut an hourglass shape from a small piece of black or dark blue felt and attach to doll from choker to cleavage. You can use thin tipped fabric puffy paint to make the design or embroider it if you so desire. I found I liked my doll better without the choker detail so I left it off.
Use puff paint to put a silver accent under each eye.
The version of Impa on the left above was an earlier doll. I had accidentally skipped a row at her stomach and had originally written the pattern with an additional row of skin between the armor and the neck. This row of skin made for rather deep cleavage and gave better room for the choker design, but I just felt like the breasts looked too saggy, the hips were too small and the legs were too big around. I Include this image so you can see what the choker is intended to look like as well as to illustrate the detail I try for.
