All right, so I'm going to go ahead and show you how I would just quickly sell me your cab on to the DA let's head. My hair cap already has all the strands of hair that I want on my doll. I'M just ready to pretty much take this yarn end and sew it firmly and securely on to my double so first try and position the hair cap in a way that suits your likes figure out how high you want the dolls forehead to be or how low You would like it to be, and once you have the general position locked in what you're going to do is carefully took the doll begin to sew the hair cap at the very edges. So I go ahead and I'm gon na push, which you can see. Here'S where my yarn end is I'm going to push my needle in here to the next stitch, and it doesn't have to be the next stitch exactly you could skip one. That'S totally fine, in fact, I'll do that. I'M gon na skip one push it in and it could get kind of tricky working with such bulky bulky parts. I stuffed my dog quite a bit actually, so our head is very firm and I'm struggling to get my needle in okay said got that in so here. As you can see, it's just a couple of stitches away from this yarn end, which is totally fine. We don't have to go stitch for stitch with a hair cap because using the same color as the hair cap, it won't be very noticeable if you miss a stitch plus, it will be plenty secure if you skip two or three stitches around such a wide hair Cap, so I'm gon na go ahead and push it back out. I'Ve got my needle into the doll, and here it's coming back out from the doll out of the doll there. We go pulling that stitch through. So I've got that locked in and in the beginning, you're gon na want to check your position at the doll cap. Dolls, hair cap frequently make sure it's still front and center and want the midline right in the middle of the dolls forehead so make sure that is still in position before moving on to the next stitch. So here I'm going to push my push my needle in again and then pull it out of another spot in be your camp crochet pretty tightly. So that's gon na be a bit of a struggle with this thick yarn needle, but I got it. I got ta get those arm exercises in huh. Alright, let's see how this guy to fire, alright still in place, check it and walk it in I'm, going to try. Let'S see alright, so I'm gon na do this next stitch here again into the head and out find a stitch to come out of alright push that one through. As you can see, I have a hard time getting a hold of this yarn gets this. Your needle is pretty big compared to the stitches I have here in this doll, alright, so so far it is still looking a Lund and in the middle. What I'm going to do is keep working my way around now that I'm at the top. I want to make sure that here we go, then I stay close to the edge here. My next one comes out when you push it out here, so I'm finding it easier, sometimes when my needle gets pretty stuck to just push through the head first and then dig under the hair capsule pull that ring that needle out of there. Well, it's like really working out those arms here. Okay, so now I'm gon na go on under a stitch of the hand cap so like breaking apart the stitch into two putts. So there we go and that's for the sake of making it easier on my hands, because I cannot cannot push the needle through such thick parts. Sometimes, okay, now I'm going to use stick this. You don't need once more just get that top of the head and come out. The other end got ta capture that hair cap as well. All right there we go: here's the mid-part okay! Now I'm going to continue working my way down down this area. Oops got that in I'm gon na push this in again, like so oops keep it in the camera. Here. I'M really fighting with this needle here all right see how that's working so far. Okay, great it is still, we want to make sure you check the position. You only once in a while, because this is your cap, it's not fully in place until you come a bit more than halfway. Okay, there we go. Are you all right? Sorry, guys you're, just watching me fight with this needle huh. This is a tough one, because I got such hard stitches here. I stitch pretty tightly and happened to be using a small crochet hook, and that makes the yarn kind of stiff okay. There we go and I'm just gon na continue my weight down. I'M gon na keep going all the way around to be your cap, so it got stitch in and then come out here. Just so, I'm very close to the edge of the cap do a little back stitch here. So then, coming off the front really got it push it out there all right. Just a little bit more of this. Until we reached the beginning, where we loved, where we started. Okay, there we go so you've got the hair capture going down. What you can do is kind of take a look at it tie on it to see how firm the handicap is. As you can see, I mean stitches every three to four sorry. I sewed the hair cap down every about three stitches apart. So, as you can see, there there's two hold, so what you can do is you can either keep it at that. I do not have young children playing with my dolls, so I tend to go just one time around the hair cap for my art dolls that are more for display, but if you have young children who will be playing with the toy, I recommend going around the Head count once more making sure it's extra sturdy and secure and what's lovely about the hair cap is that if you have some extra strands of yarn leftover, you can just go ahead and let's see I'm just gon na put it in here and to make it A part of the mini bundles already existing, so I'm gon na go there. You know maybe here and take off that your needle and you got one more string of hair. Add it to your doll. So there you go. That'S sewing the hair cap on, and I hope that was a helpful video, even though you saw me really struggle with pushing that needle superfriend doll. Alright.

Miriam Olsen: If you use a rubber glove or something similar it will help you pull the needle through easier as it gives a better grip on it. You don't even have to wear the glove to do this.
