Hair and beard

For the hair, cut 13 cm strands of gray yarn. You can sew them to the head as shown in the photos or knot them onto the head. It's up to you! To finish, trim the hair to shoulder length and separate the yarn strands for a wavier look. Do the same for the beard and tie a gray thread around it.

Glasses

For the glasses, all you need is wire and something cylindrical to shape it around. You can cover the wire with gray yarn for a nicer finish.

Finishing touches

Finally, embroider some eyebrows. Your Albus Dumbledore is ready!
