I do not close the opening right away. I bring all threads for sculpting and face details through that opening, tie them together in a knot, and hide them. Only then do I close the head.

Sculpting

1: Lower points 1 and 6 are at the bottom of the head between rows 13 and 14, symmetrical to each eye.
2: Points 1 and 6 are exactly in the middle between rows 13 and 14. Embroider the eyelashes, eyebrows, nose, mouth, and define the whites of the eyes.

Now you can close the head by tightening the opening.

Hair

I also made the hair from plush yarn using elongated loops (choose the length you like). The diagram shows the direction for crocheting elongated chain loops. Embroider the bangs separately with another thread.

1: dc around
2: dc around
3: hdc around

Fasten off and hide the yarn ends.

Bows

1: in MR crochet: 2 ch, 4 dc, 2 ch, sl st, 2 ch, 4 dc, 2 ch, sl st.

Tighten and tie around the tails. Embroider the sundress straps: I use matching yarn and simply embroider long stitches.

That's it, our doll is ready!
