Hair:

1 – Cut a looong brown yarn thread and passit through a tapestry needle. You are going tosew Katniss' hair (like a rudimentaryembroidery) just like you would do for a malehaircut. Try to follow the images bellow whenplacing the threads in order to achieve theexpected results:

2 – Make a yarn braid apart from the rest ofthe amigurumi. I used only 3 threads so thebraid wouldn't look thick. Aim for yourdesired size.

Now sew the braid to the base of the head,as shown above in the picture. Hide thethreads inside the head and cut the tips thatmay still be outside.

3 – To make the fringe, cut two yarn threads and attach them with a simple knot in the

middle of the threads, so there will be four resulting tips. Cut the fringe the way you like it better.

Pin:

The best thing I found to use as a pin was agolden paillette. Use a glue specific for fabricto attach it.

Bow

1 – You are going to use a medium size paperclip. Unfold it and mold it to a bow form. Usepliers to achieve a better result.

2 – Make a simple knot (the same you usewhen starting a crochet chain) and, foldingone of the endings of the clip with pliers, lockthe knot as shown in the picture bellow. Lockit hard so the yarns will not get loose whenyou start crocheting.

3 – Use the clip as you would do with a chain.We will use a single crochet stitch (sc). Insertthe hook in the knot of the previous step.Pass the hook under the clip and yarn overand bring it to the front (you will have twostitches around the hook, the previous andthe just made). Yarn over again, this time notpassing the hook under the clip, and passthrough both stitches.

Do this stitch as many times as needed towrap around the entire clip. The stitches areslippery due to the contact with the metalmaterial, so be patient.

4 – When the bow is completely wrapped, cutthe thread and make a simple knot tofinalize. Using pliers, fold the still unfoldedending of the clip to lock the last stitch.

5 – Use a brown cross stitch thread or otherspecific thread you may like to make thebowstring. Use the clip's folded endings toattach the string and cut the excess.Spread a little glue around the bow's endingsand roll up some yarn to achieve a betterfinishing. Wait for it to dry and cut theexcess.That's it, your bow if finished!
