~Creating Hatsuharu~

-Eyes:

Stop at Rnd 19 and start crocheting the eyes.

Helpful Hint: Mark spots for eyes and mouth with washable marker

-Colors: Gray, silver, black, and white

Iris: Ch 6 then sc tail

(to do this: pull tail through center ring and sc it like you would on a regular working chain)

Change to gray and sc around

F/O w/long tail for sewing

Eye

Pupil: ch 2, 

                   5 sc in ring, sc tail

Highlight: 

w/white Ch 7

Sew on the eyes where you marked. Make sure the whole pupil is sewn down. 

Take the highlights and pull one tail through a loop in the black pupil and the other tail just outside the iris. 

This gives him the "anime-eye" effect. =)

Eyelids:

This is very simple. Just cut four strands of yarn and sew them across the top and bottom of the eye. Voila!

-Eyebrows:

 Angle them slightly since Haru usually has a bored or pensive expression but keep them relatively straight.

-Mouth:

 Just a single string but very hard to get the right angle. Most of them look like they're smiling when I do it.

-Ears:

w/skin color ch 6

hdc 3, sc 2, then sl st in last st

F/O 

-FOR OPPOSITE EAR:

w/skin color

ch 6

 sl st, sc 2, hdc 3

F/O

I usually put them about 3 rows from the eye.

-Hair: 

White top w/ shaved black

- Make the hairlines with a washable marker.

 Sc on top of the line and then go down the next part until the area within is filled.

1 2 3 4

-For the white part: Simply add and cut. This is really fun.

The back part of the white hair needs to be almost a bowl cut.

For his bangs, have the ones on his forehead short and the ones next to them a little longer.

He has two long strands going down the side of his face below his ears.

Bangs Bowl Cut

-Arms: skin color only

-Earrings: 

Take silver string and tie through earlobes. Hide tails from view but don't cut them. They'll stick out.

-Belts: w/silver and dark grey

ch 29 and tie.

~Your Hatsuharu is complete~ =)

Hope you enjoy your new 'Rumi! =)
