Materials You'll Need:
Yarn: Choose two colors – one for the doll's body and one for the hair. A soft, medium-weight yarn like worsted weight acrylic is recommended for beginners. For a truly luxurious feel, consider using a blend that includes a touch of wool or alpaca. Approximately 50 grams of each color should suffice.
Crochet Hook: Select a crochet hook size appropriate for your chosen yarn. The yarn label will usually provide a recommendation. A 3.5mm or 4mm hook works well with worsted weight yarn.
Fiberfill Stuffing: High-quality polyester fiberfill is ideal for creating a firm yet cuddly doll.
Stitch Marker: Helpful for keeping track of rounds.
Tapestry Needle: For weaving in loose ends.
Scissors: For cutting the yarn.
Safety Eyes (optional): Choose a size appropriate for your doll.
Embroidery floss (optional): For adding facial details like a mouth or blush.

Abbreviations:
sc: single crochet
inc: increase (2 single crochet in one stitch)
dec: decrease (single crochet two stitches together)
sl st: slip stitch

Wavy Hair Pattern:

(Using your chosen hair color yarn)

This section utilizes a technique called "chainless foundation double crochet" which creates a lovely, wavy texture. You will need to create multiple strands of this wavy chain, which will then be attached to the doll's head.
Chain: Create a foundation chain of approximately 40 chains (adjust according to desired hair length). This will be one strand of hair.
Wavy Crochet: Using a chainless double crochet foundation (search online for tutorials on this specific stitch as it's too extensive to explain fully here), crochet across your foundation chain. This creates a naturally wavy texture.
Repeat Steps 1 & 2: Create multiple chains of varying lengths to achieve a full and layered hair look. Approximately 8-10 strands should suffice.
Attaching the Hair: Carefully attach each strand to the top of the doll's head using slip stitches. Slightly space them apart for a realistic effect. You can also braid or twist some strands together for added texture.

Finishing Touches:

Once the hair is securely attached, add safety eyes (or embroider eyes and a mouth), and add any other embellishments, like a simple dress or outfit crocheted separately.

Tips and Variations:
Experiment with different yarn weights and hook sizes to achieve varied results.
Add accessories such as hats, bows, or clothing to personalize your doll.
Try using different types of yarn for a textured look. A combination of a smooth yarn and a fuzzy yarn can create a striking contrast.
Don't be afraid to improvise! This pattern is a guideline; feel free to adjust the size and details to your liking.

With a little patience and creativity, you'll soon have a delightful wavy-haired doll to cherish. Remember to share your creations with us! Use the hashtag #WavyHairAmigurumi on social media to show off your amazing work. Happy crocheting!
