Make a Comment ( 1 so far )Okay, these fortune cookies are not ntechnically “softies” but we can get around it by suggesting that you could actually add a tuft of stuffing into each cookie to puff them up a bit and thereby create crocheted fortune cookie softies

Too cute not to make, don’t you think?

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.
