Making facial hair is a great way to add detailing to a face. There are many different ways to make moustaches, beards or both of them combined. Using simple yarn to sew on is the easiest. This time, I’ll be showing how to crochet it!
Using this method of making the beard can be combined with various hairstyles on the Amigurumi head. Though I tend to use this with wig caps so that all the hair is uniformly crocheted.

Other moustaches and beards
These are some other little moustaches and/ or beards which I have crocheted for my other little Yarnlings. If you see any of my old characters, can you spot which one belongs to who?
There’s a little chapter on making facial hair in my latest ebook... this short tutorial above is how I made the moustache and beard for my little dwarf (Gimli actually :).
If you have been seeing my last few posts (if you haven’t, **please check out the hair series**, it’s packed with useful techniques!**), then you will know that I’ll be revealing even more about my latest ebook.

Have you ever started an idea, with this amazing image in your mind, then half way through you regret making that choice but you power through anyways to far in it to back out now? 🖐🖐 That was the inner battle I powered through this morning. Her hair looks amazing now (three more curls to go as of this pic) but about 20 curls in I had serious doubts. Now to try and avoid the inner battle on what color her eyes should be. 🤦♀️🤷♀️👀🧜♀️🌈🧶 #crochet #crochetlife #crochetersofinstagram #crochetdoll #amigurumi #maker #makersgonnamake #crochetcreations #crochetaddict #handmadedoll #crochettherapy #happycrochet #amigurumidoll #amidoll #wip #rainbow #mermaid #crochetmermaid #rainbowmermaid #crochetcurls #crochethandmade https://www.instagram.com/p/CE64MthhI05/?igshid=73y8qbcbign6

Welp I think this deserves to be seen. Didn’t want to post on any social network. Yes it came from Snapchat but I have several unposted snaps that I don’t plan to ever post. I snap for myself, to look at my pics and videos and gas myself up because who else is going to do it. Lol
