00:22So, let's get started.
00:25Here's the basic hair cap and I already have some strands of hair and ties on the hair.
00:34And what I'm going to do is show you first how I attach some of the strands to some additional
00:40spots on the hair cap.
00:42So the method that I use is quite simple.
00:46What I would do first is cut out strands of hair.
00:54I have some yarns that are already tied up and ready to go here.
01:05So what I would do first is cut out two long strands of hair and the two strands would be
01:13double my doll's desired hair length.
01:16So, assuming this is the top of her head, I'd like the hair to be about this long, yay
01:24long.
01:25And I would recommend going slightly longer than what you would like so that there's always
01:31room for cutting and trimming at the end.
01:36So, what you're going to do first with your two strands, let me move this out of the way,
01:43what you're going to do first with those two strands is to tie a knot in the very middle,
01:49right there.
01:50So, um, you can either tie a knot this way, like that, that takes off some of the hair,
02:01but it makes a nice big knot and that's what we want to do, make a nice big knot.
02:08Or alternatively, you can also tie it this way, loop around and pull that yarn end through.
02:18So, let's see, let's try and make it as even as possible, around there, oops, there we go.
02:30So here's the knot and I don't want to make it too tight or too small because that might
02:36pop out of the hair cap.
02:39So, once you've got that, look to see where you want the hair cap, the hair strands to
02:46be coming from out of the cap.
02:50Now, what I'm going to do, I like to place it somewhere here, I'm seeing that there's
02:55an empty spot.
02:56There are already quite a few strands coming out of other areas.
03:01So I'm going to hook in, let's say I'd like it to come out here, now hook in and, oops.
03:18So looking at the hair cap, find the spot where you'd like your strands of hair to come out
03:23of.
03:24Um, what I would like to do is add some more to this bold spot here, and to do that,
03:34I'm
03:35going to first have this, um, our knotted bundle on the inside of the cap.
03:41You're going to push your crochet hook into the hair cap, and then take one end of that
03:55bundle and pull it out.
04:01As you do so, you'll feel that the knot stops the hair, um, bundle from pulling out completely.
04:11And so you'll have half of the, um, bundle out, now we've got to get the other half out.
04:18So I'm going to reach in, um, let's say I'd like it to come out around here.
04:23So I'm going to reach in and pull that second half of the bundle out.
04:35There.
04:37Now at this time, I have, my bundle consisted of two, um, two strands of yarn.
04:45So now I had it doubled up, so I have four strands of yarn or hair coming out.
04:53There we go.
04:54And as you can see, I kind of, um, tied up bits of the hair here and there.
05:00Uh, I'll explain the, um, how I part the hair and organize the hair in a little bit.
05:08But I'm going to show you one more time how I attach one of these bundles.
05:14So starting from the beginning, again, you have, um, two strands of yarn.
05:19Tie a knot in the middle, like so.
05:22And you're going to find where you want your strands to come out of.
05:28Let's say I'd like it to come out of somewhere here.
05:32Push that crochet hook in.
05:35Oops.
05:38Pull out half of the bundle.
05:42Like so.
05:44You'll feel that stop over there because of the knot.
05:48And you're going to insert your hook and pull out the second half of that bundle.
05:59There.
06:00So these are the additional four strands that I just added onto the hair cap.
06:06And you're going to want to do that all around the head.
06:10So, uh, let me quickly explain how I organize it.
06:16And, um, it's good to work with, um, some sort of order and structure, um, for the sake of managing
06:24all of these strands.
06:27Um, so first things first, um, I like to start from the midline where there is a, um, hairline.
06:37And what I do is I normally start from the very, uh, front of the hair cap at midline and
06:43I keep working back like so.
06:46Then I take all of these front strands and I tie them together.
06:52After that, you can work on the opposite end, making sure I went through the same stitches actually to make
07:00it nice and tight.
07:02Um, so that there isn't a gap in between.
07:05And after you go through from the, from the front working towards the back in a row, you're going to
07:13tie that bundle up as well.
07:16So that it doesn't, uh, get mixed up with the other layers below.
07:21So I've got those two bundles first.
07:24Then I work underneath, as you can see underneath that, um, that first midline bundle.
07:32Um, I add some additional strands and tie them up.
07:38So here, the ones below, um, feel free to make it sparse and not as thick and, um, um, in
07:48line as the first midline bundle.
07:51And the reason for that is because if you make, if you add too many strands, what's going to happen
07:57is that your doll is going to end up having a whole ton of hair and it might become very
08:04bulky, very unmanageable, et cetera.
08:07But of course, if you like that style, if you want to have a lot of voluminous hair, feel free
08:13to.
08:14Um, after you lift that up, again, I have this, um, side part a lot more sparse.
08:23And I'm only putting in strands, um, you know, maybe two or three stitches apart instead of just one stitch
08:32apart.
08:34So that's that.
08:37And, um, if I set this down, this is the front of the doll's head.
08:42Um, we want to pay attention to the back side a little bit as well.
08:46So I added just a few in the back, like so.
08:50Um, I didn't bother tying these together because it's just a small bundle back here.
08:55And if desired, if you don't want to see all of this back showing, feel free to add some more
09:02sparse strands here and there.
09:05Now, after that, you can, if you want to see whether or not you have enough hair for your doll,
09:13you can fit it onto your doll like a wig.
09:16So the hair cap, um, uh, if you use my crochet patterns, you'll notice that the hair cap is the
09:23same size as the doll's head.
09:26Um, stopping only, um, usually a little past, um, half of the doll's head.
09:33So it's the same instructions for the head, but you only use rows one, two, perhaps halfway or a little
09:40more than halfway.
09:42If I fit it horizontally over my doll, as you can see, it's about halfway on my doll's head.
09:50But of course, we're not going to add the wig like that.
09:54That would look rather silly.
09:56Um, you're going to put it at a, I like about a 45 degree or maybe a wider degree, maybe
10:0550 or 55 degrees.
10:08And see how you would like that.
10:11Uh, this gives my doll a bit of a, quite a large forehead.
10:15So I'm going to push it down a little bit more.
10:19And you can always sew the hair cap on like this, or you can sew bangs onto the doll as
10:26well.
10:26And I'm choosing not to sew bangs or a fringe onto my doll, onto this doll in particular, because I'm
10:35going to use her actual hair strands here, um, to make a fringe.
10:42And that's just one of the ways you can style your doll's hair.
10:46So, um, what you'll do next after attaching all of the strands of hair, go ahead and take, um, I
10:58have a yarn, a loose yarn end that comes from crocheting the hair cap.
11:03So I'm going to use this to sew the hair cap onto my doll.
11:08And you can do that as well.
11:09Or if you do not have a yarn end or a yarn tail, feel free to just get a new
11:14strand of, um, the same colored yarn and sew it onto your doll's head like so.
11:34I'll leave back as a nice brown as kind to knit all the bands that I've designed to develop and
11:34access it on my kind of fabric is not怎么 round.
11:34So, in there you can also see that it's actually very spooky.
11:34If you look at the two and then게요 it was a very pastel cách…
11:35Wildness and all this व is up to the begins Ahh!!
