Now we are going to make some hair on rounds 1, 2 and 3 of the the head of the Alpaca. Only on the front of the head. If you are using cotton or other sturdy yarn, you can make the hairs like this:

Cut 22 strands of 4 in / 9 cm of pink yarn.
Take 2 strands and fold them. Thread the folded strands onto an embroidery needle and attach them over round 3 (photo 4-5). Instead of using an embroidery needle you can use your crochet hook to pull the hair through the head (photo 6-8).

You can also watch the video above to see how to make the hair.
Sew 5 double strands over round 3. 4 double strands over round 2 and 2 double strands over round 1.
Cut the yarn to the desired length.

If you are using chenille or other fabric yarn that comes apart when cutting it, create the hair with chain stitches.

CH 6 and now attach the chain to the head with a slst, ch 6 again and attach the hair to the head again with a slst. Do this many times to create the hair. I made a video on how to do this.
