00:23Alright, so I'm going to go ahead and show you how I would just quickly sew the hair
00:29cap onto the doll's head. My hair cap already has all of the strands of hair that I want
00:35on my doll. I'm just ready to pretty much take this yarn end and sew it firmly and securely
00:45onto my doll. So first, try and position the hair cap in a way that suits your likes. Figure
00:55out how high you want the doll's forehead to be, or how low you would like it to be.
01:01Let me adjust this camera to be a little juicy bit. Alright, there. And once you have the general
01:13position locked in, what you're going to do is carefully, let me tilt the doll, begin to
01:22sew the hair cap at the very edges. So I go ahead and I'm going to push, as you can
01:30see,
01:30here's where my yarn end is. I'm going to push my needle in here to the next stitch. And it
01:38doesn't have to be the next stitch. Exactly, you could skip one. That's totally fine. In
01:44fact, I'll do that. I'm going to skip one. Push it in. Oops. And it could get kind of tricky
01:56working,
01:57um, with such bulky, bulky parts. Um, I've stuffed my doll quite a bit, actually. Um, so her head is
02:08very
02:08firm and I'm struggling to get my needle in. Okay. So I've got that in. So here, as you can
02:14see,
02:15it's just a couple stitches away from this yarn end, which is totally fine. We don't have to go
02:20stitch for stitch with the hair cap. Um, because using the same color as a hair cap, it won't be
02:27very noticeable if you miss a stitch. Plus, um, it will be plenty secure if you skip two or three
02:35stitches around such a wide hair cap. So I'm going to go ahead and push it back out. I've got
02:43my needle
02:44into the doll. And here it's coming back out from the doll, out of the doll. There we go. Pulling
02:53that
02:54stitch through. So I've got that locked in. And in the beginning, you're going to want to check your
03:01positioning, oops, of the doll cap, doll's hair cap frequently. Make sure it's still front and center.
03:09I want the midline right in the middle of the doll's forehead. So make sure that is still, um,
03:19in position before moving on to the next stitch. So here I'm going to push my, oops, push my needle
03:29in
03:29again and then pull it out of another spot in the hair cap. And I crochet pretty tightly. So that's
03:44going to be a bit of a struggle with this thick yarn needle, but gotta, gotta get those arm exercises
03:54in,
03:55huh? All right. Let me see that. Okay. Pulling it tight. Let's see how that's going so far.
04:09All right. Still in place. Check it and lock it in. Um, I'm going to try.
04:18Oops. Let's see. All right. Good. So I'm going to do this next stitch here again.
04:25Into the head.
04:29And out. Find a stitch to come out of. Oops. All right. Push that one through.
04:40As you can see, I have a hard time getting a hold of this, um, yarn because it's, this yarn
04:49needle's
04:49pretty big compared to the stitches I have here in this doll. All right.
04:56So, so far it is still looking aligned and in the middle. Um, what I'm going to do is keep
05:04working
05:05my way around. Now that I'm at the top, I want to make sure that, um, oops, here we go,
05:16that I stay close
05:17to the edge here. And the next one comes out. Let me push it out here.
05:36So I'm finding it easier sometimes when my needle gets pretty stuck to just push through the head
05:43first. And then dig under the hair cap. So I'm going to pull that, wrangle that needle out of there.
05:54Wow. It's like really working out those arms here. Okay. So now I'm going to go under a stitch
06:05of the hair cap. It's like breaking apart the stitch into two parts. So there we go.
06:13And that's for the sake of making it easier on my hands because I cannot, um,
06:21cannot push the needle through such thick parts sometimes. Okay. Now I'm going to stick this, um,
06:34needle in once more. Let's get that top of the head and come out the other end.
06:45Oops. Got to capture that hair cap as well.
06:58All right. There we go.
07:16And here's the mid part. Okay.
07:24Now I'm going to continue working my way down,
07:28down this area. Oops. Got that in. I'm going to push this in again. Yep. Like so. Oops.
07:41Keep it in the camera here. Let me fix that a little bit. Okay.
08:15Let's see how that's looking so far. Okay, great. It is still, we want to make sure you check the
08:25positioning every once in a while. Cause this hair cap is not fully in place until you come, um,
08:36some, a bit more than halfway. All right. And I'm getting there.
08:44I'm going to wrangle that one out. Okay. There we go.
08:49All right. Sorry guys. You're just watching me fight with this needle, huh?
08:54This is a tough one. Cause I've got such hard stitches here. I stitch pretty tightly and
09:01um, happen to be using a small crochet hook
09:06and that makes the yarn kind of stiff. Okay. There we go. And I'm just going to continue my way
09:13down.
09:14I'm going to keep going all the way around the hair cap. So I've got the stitch in and then
09:22come out here. Just somewhere close to the edge of the cap.
09:33There we go. I'm going to do a little back stitch here. So go back and then come out at
09:40the front.
09:44Really got to push it out there.
09:51All right. And just a little bit more of this until we reach the beginning where we left, where we
10:00started.
10:14Okay. There we go. So we've got the hair cap generally down. Um, what you can do
10:21is kind of take a look at it, tug on it to see how firm, um, the hair cap is.
10:28As you can see,
10:29um, I made stitches, um, every three to four, sorry, I sewed, um, the hair cap down
10:38every about three stitches apart. So as you can see there, there's the hold. So what you can do
10:46is, um, you can either keep it at that. Um, I do not have young children playing with my
10:53dolls. So I tend to go just one time around the hair cap for my art dolls that are more
11:01for display.
11:02But if you have young children who will be playing with a toy, I recommend, um, going around the hair
11:08cap once more, making sure it's extra sturdy and secure. And what's lovely about the hair cap is that
11:16if you have some extra strands of yarn leftover, you can just go ahead and, um, let's see, I'm just
11:24gonna pull it in here and make it a part of the mini bundles already existing. So I'm gonna, oops,
11:35pull
11:35through, oh, maybe here and take off that yarn needle and you've got one more strand of hair
11:43added to your doll. So there you go. That's sewing the hair cap on. And I hope that was a
11:52helpful
11:53video, even though you saw me really struggle with pushing that needle in through my super firm doll.
