HAIR
Cut out a 3.5 inches wide piece of cardboard (width of the desired hair length). Wrap black yarn around the cardboard many rounds until the length of the hair piece reaches 7 inches. Slip stitch these individual loops of yarns by using the 1.5mm hook. Make sure that the length of the hair piece should be long enough to form a nice hairline around Agnes head. Fasten off at the last loop.
Remove the ribbon of hair loops from the cardboard and pin around the Agnes's head to get your desired hairline. Using a sewing needle and black thread, stitch hair to doll's head along the hairline.
Tie the hair together into a super high ponytail at the top of the head temporary using a rubber band or scrap yarn. The length of hair should cover the bald patches on the head as you tie them up. Make another ribbon of hair of 3 inches long with a shorter hair length for Agnes's heavy bang. It is always better to be generous on the hair length as you can trim it later. Sew the hair along the front of the top hairline to form the bang. Use a pair of scissors and cut through the bottom loops of the yarns to form individual hair strands for both the bangs and the high ponytail. Leave longer strands at both sides of the face for side burns.
