Elise of Zippypops recently contacted me to let me know that she had some tutorials up on her blog. Elise is a very talented doll-maker and you can view and purchase her beautiful creations from her shop.
In this tutorial she shares how to make a doll’s wig using synthetic hair (purchased from a craft shop or costume store) and how to attach it securely to a doll’s head creating this two-bun hair-do:

Elise also shares how you can make these basic doll shoes, which you can then embellish to your heart’s content or keep sweet and simple:

Both tutorials are very clearly written with excellent pictures for each step.

Here is an excellent tutorial by Crafty Sheep on how to create a gorgeous thick head of hair for a doll (not just for Waldorfs - you could do the same for any kind of handmade doll):

The photos and step-by-step instructions make this tutorial a real winner - it also helps that the doll being worked is just so darn adorable!

(How’s that for a lengthy post title ?!)
Here’s a great tutorial on how to make and attach yarn hair to your doll - not just any yarn hair mind you, but awesomely luxurious yarn hair

The steps and accompanying pictures are very helpful. In my almost obsessive search for good yarn hair how-tos, I think this is one of the easier methods and actually seems very do-able - still time-consuming but at least you don’t need to know how to crochet or knit to make it. I also like the idea of using different types/colours of yarn.

This is a comprehensive article providing different ways of making hair for amigurumi (i.e. crocheted softies). I suspect that you could also adapt some of the ideas in the article to knitted or sewn softies.
