Here are the knitted babes I made for my nieces at xmas. Got them to do a little fashion show for you. Their names are Elle McSpence (long blonde one ) and Bibi Buttons (Rainbow hair!) Hope you like them.
Hi sherri, I cut the lengths of hair and laid them over the dolls head then backstitched them to the head using a backstitch. Then I added more strands where needed, strand by strand like you would attach tassels. Thread a needle with your wool pass through one stitch on the dolls head and then back through, leaving a loop. Pass the ends of the wool through the loop and pull tight. repeat as needed. Hope you understand me!!

Just browsing through your babes again and they are positively lovely...such a great use of colour. Think I'll go knit another!
