Details:
Tina has quite a bit of volume to her hair, so I used felt to create a cap around her head, then took a layer of felt and laid it overtop of the cap in the shape of her hair, using my felting needle to shape her wavy bangs and using scissors to cut her hair to its shape. Don’t forget her little yellow barrette! Cut a small oval of yellow felt and glue or stitch it on the left side of her hair.
Her glasses are made from wire and a 2.5 mm hook. I cut a long piece of wire, manipulated it as much as I could to make it look like her glasses, making sure to get that subtle “point” in the frames like hers have. Once I had my shape, I attached my yarn at the bridge of the glasses and crochet a single, tight row of single crochet with the 2.5mm hook, all the way around the glasses. Once you fasten off, use the ends of your starting and finishing tails to fasten the glasses to her face.
