DOLL HEAD (worked in one continous round but I've divided it into steps so you can keep it straight):

STEP 1: Ch 2, 6 sc in 2nd ch from hk. Place Marker (PM) (6sc)
STEP 2: 2 sc in bl only of each of next 6 sc. PM (12 sc)
STEP 3: 2 sc in bl only of each of next 12 sc. PM (24 sc)
STEPS 4-8: * Sc in bl only of next 24 sc. PM
STEP 9: * Sc dec over next 2 sc. Sc in next sc. Repeat from * around. PM
STEP 10: Repeat Step 9 to marker. Sl st in last st and fasten off leaving a 6-8 strand to be used later to attach head to bottle.
TO ATTACH HEAD TO BOTTLE: Weave the 6-8" strand of yarn you left on Step 10 in and out through the stitches around the neck. Stuff the head with polyfil. Position the head over the lid of the dawn bottle and pull the string to draw the neck tight just under the lid. Tie a knot and weave in the end a bit before trimming.

HAIR:
Cut strands of yarn approximately 11" long and attach one strand (like you attach fringe) in the rem lps all over the head where you want the hair to be. {NOTE: you can cut shorter strand for shorter hair or trim the hair once you finish attaching it all.}

ARM (make 2):
Ch 20, hdc in 2nd ch from hk. 2 hdc in each rem ch. This makes the arms curly. Attach the arms to each side of the doll. Fasten the hands together and glue on rosettes.

FINISHING:
Glue wiggle eyes on. Stitch eye lashes on with black thread. Use the same color yarn you made the head with and satin stitch on a nose. (refer to picture) Glue on a red piece of chenille for the mouth.
