Now you will start shaping the rest of the hair.

R13-R14: SC around, stop when there are 8 sts left, ch 1, turn. You have now completed the bangs and will continue to make the longer part of bob. (24 sts)

R21: SC in next 3 sts, SC 2 together across, bind off, leave a long tail for sewing. (12 sts)

You should now have a little, black hair helmet. Sew it onto Buttercup's hair, being sure to position it correctly. Once it's sewn on, fold up the bottom corners from front to back and sew them together to make the bob have more of that flipped appearance.

If anyone can think of a better way to make the hair, please let me know what you did! I am still not 100% satisfied with mine. Also, I forgot to write this down as I was making it, so I tried to figure out what I did by staring real hard at the hair on the doll. If you see any horrible mistakes, or if something seems impossible, please let me know! I want to share patterns that are actually easy to use. ;)

Sew all the body parts together, and you have a Powerpuff Girl!
