Raggedy “Hair” Tutorial from ORP! To get
started we will start with Picture #1-Wrap a strand of yarn around your
fingers several times to form loops as shown in picture #1. Picture
#2-Starting hand stitching these loops at the top/center of
the raggedy’s head. I hand stitch the loops right down the seam line
of the head. Picture #3-When the hair on one side is finished, continue
stitching the loops down the other side of the head. I usually try to
not go any further down the head then the temples with the hair.
Picture #4-This is the “wild” shot. The top is now finished. One more
step to go. Picture #5-Start stitching the loops across the back of the
raggedy’s head in a straight line. When you are all finished you can
go back and clip the top of each loop or you can leave your raggedy’s
hair “loopy”. I like to clip each loop but leave a few “loops” in the
bang area. I especially like to leaves some “loops” on my girl
raggedies.

Thank you for sharing. Your dolls are the cutest. I think I'll try my hand at this.
ReplyDeleteVery cute! Back in the day I used to make Raggedy Ann/Andy dolls and always used the loop technique, but sure would have loved to have known about your method. It looks so much better!
