To make the curl, hold the piece you just made where the "flat" part is flat on your plam. Cut an extra lenght of Baby Pink and attach it between rnds 2 and 3. Roll the bang up where it will meet with the open end, stitching the piece so it will be held in place as you go.

Putting it all together
I'm crap at explaing how to put an ami together. The best I can tell you is look off the pictures, and pin things in place before you start stitching. The wings can be made with the felt that is a darker pink than your yarn, if you don't feel like crocheting them. Cut out little "blush marks" from the same slightly darker pink felt. I hot glued all the felt features.
I am having a crazy hard time trying to figure out the ears.....
