Suzan, is this a pattern you purchased, or a free pattern from somewhere on the net? If it's a free pattern, could you provide a link to it, so I can check it out and see what I can come up with? I would think that if it were a purchased pattern, you would be given instructions as to how to make the hair loops.

Here is a link to a web page that describes a loop stitch. Could this be what you are looking for?

I actually got so interested in someone else's knitting woes I decided to post the question over here = not a knitting expert, but those loops look perfect to me and thank you VERY much for posting that donna!
