Hi everyone!

Thanks so much for the love about my doll wearing a hijab. As promised, I have worked on it the last few days and fine tuned the pattern for you. I’ve also put several notes in there for ways you can customize it and put 3 different hijabi style patterns:

the doll in pink has Hijab Style A,
the doll in blue has Hijab Style B, and
the doll in purple has Hijab Style C.

Please give me some grace as I’ve never written a pattern before. But I hope you enjoy, and if anyone makes them please send me pictures!
