More Yarn Hair Styles! An EASY Tutorial for style-able rag doll hair

[@NatalieMoore-cf4zt]

Love this project! Will surely put a smile on a child's face. I'm thinking a little boy doll along with the girl doll would make a cute gift!

Your Doll designs are incredibly smart, fancy and so much fun to see them all come to life!!!! Thank you for sharing your skills & knowledge with us, we are very grateful for your kindness!!! .... I do have a quick suggestion for you to consider. Paper can be pretty expensive over time, so what if you used "paper napkins" instead? They would tear just as easy, or just wet them & lightly rub if a spot gets stuck as you tear. They would save you $ in the long run, so that your profit increases over time ... Thank you again for sharing your beautiful Doll with us, we love each one of them!!!

I too was a military wife for 30 yrs - so glad I found your videos - blessings from Nova Scotia Canada 🦋🇨🇦 .

Adorable ❤ and I love Matlock too 😊

So pretty! I love the rainbow hair and the sparkly hair! I need to get a new printer, but that's all that's stopping me from sewing new patterns at the moment. I plan on getting a few of the rag doll patterns from you. I love them! They're so cute! I also really enjoy your very easy going teaching style. I've made a few of the wonky houses and it's so therapeutic and relaxing. I think you're my favorite sewing channel...so thank you!

[@PinCutSew]

Thank you! 🤗

[@lynnries7729]

I love rag dolls and yours are stunning. Great yarn hair tutorial.

[@tml58]

Thank you for this tutorial. The best one I have found. You are so adorable. I’m looking forward to checking out your other videos.

[@dollysadlak5242]

Yay I love the mermaid 🧜‍♀️. I just ordered pattern on etsy❤

[@debbiebuttars5598]

So cute. I need to finish all the other projects you’ve introduced me to and Persephone here I come! 🧜‍♀️

[@Jessica_Jones]

"Put on an episode of Matlock..." I did not see that coming 😂🤣 (Side story: My dad and I used to watch that together from time to time and we always enjoyed singing along with the theme, often with me on the melody and him on the bassy part, lol) Your dolls and the hair are so beautiful! Thanks so much for this tutorial and the others -- I haven't made any dolls yet but am excited to very soon ☺️

[@rosalindhb]

These are so cute. I would love to see a side front part and Bangs ( if you haven't done it already.) 😊

[@aw76587]

I love these dolls! They are all so pretty! I hope to get around to making one or more soon.

[@zeejones4152]

I too still watch Matock. Thanks for this video, I will be making for a friend's granddaughter. 🤗

[@lauriepayseur5897]

I can’t hardly wait to make one of these for my two new grands

[@Scrabbledat]

May I suggest painting the scalp of the doll with fabric paint or dye to cover up the ball spots 😊

[@cindyschoen6086]

You can also sew the hair on a measured cloth circle that matches the head, with a turned edge, then hand sew the “wig” onto the doll.

[@Silvyrfir]

Stumbled on this video while researching how to do a long tail tuft on a plushie. Very nice glimpse into how hair is done in general! Definitely cute mermaids 🥰

[@rosemarymonty5399]

I made a crochet rag doll about 10 years ago. I used cotton yarn for everything including the hair. You were correct the hair was very heavy but it looked terrific when finished, however I could not donate as the head could not support the hair. So I changed the style. I’m really glad I found your channel this will help me complete that doll with wool of which I have an abundance. I don’t know why I did not think of that myself I guess I have tunnel vision.

[@notsomuch273]

Thank you so much! Needed to replace the hair on my childhood Raggedy Ann. You have shown me how! ❤

[@Chericherry4]

I’ve always wrapped the yarn around cardboard (as you showed in the video) and then I hand sew the yarn together, using the same yarn, then slide it off the cardboard and leave the bottom of the “hair” in loops. But I’ll give your way a try-looks faster!

[@PinCutSew]

You definitely could still leave the loops, that sounds cute!

[@patriciapaterson4391]

I’m grateful to have come across this video, as it answered many questions I already had on making doll hair with yarn…& I so appreciate this. Can you combine yarn with some thin strips of felt in the same colors???

[@patriciapaterson4391]

❤

[@PinCutSew]

That would be cute! I think I’d use wool felt since the poly kind pills, stretches and can break over time.

[@Heheh-i8q]

Thank you I found this really helpful

[@celestya]

Thank you for these videos! Just saved my daughter's 6th birthday gift (a knit unicorn doll). I am not great at sewing by any means, and discovered that the sewing machine portion should be straight stitch and not zigzag (my mother's suggestion) or the paper gets caught in the stitches and you get to spend hours picking it out. lol. I would humbly recommend you try mohair yarn for the hair if you haven't yet. They actually have hair as opposed to wool/acrylic so it works up amazingly well. Plus you can get curly mohair which would give your hair a fun texture! Thanks again!

[@kathydunn8244]

Love her❤

My great grandma bought a doll pattern way back when. It's called a Laura Wheeler doll. Starting with my sister its become a family tradition for all the girls in the family to get one. So im making one for my 4 year old to get for Christmas. We do the hair very similar. We do a weft along the center, half a weft on each side, and then we hand stitch the bangs

[@PinCutSew]

I just looked up these Laura Wheeler dolls and they are beautiful! It looks like you can get reproductions on Etsy of the patterns and I'm quite tempted!

[@cynthiaporter8300]

Nice tutorial! You could try to wrap the yarn around a child’s hard backed story book. Would’nt bend like the cardboard 😊 Just a thought.

[@bbymks5]

They're so sweet!

[@cherylynn927]

I love that black sparkle yarn. Where did you find it and does it come in another color? Thanks and these are adorable!

[@PinCutSew]

It’s dark purple! Mine is from a local shop, but look on Etsy for wool yarn because there’s tons, I’m sure you can find black sparkly 👍🏻

[@kendrageiger7465]

This is just the cutest!!! 😄

[@shellyvoyer2796]

This is so adorable!!! Love it! I tried making angel ornaments last year and did something similar, but wish I had seen your video! Matlock...lol....just found a DVD set of the Rockford Files at a discount store for $3. I had forgotten about Rockford Files and Matlock! I might need to seek out Matlock series for a Christmas gift!❤

[@PinCutSew]

I have never heard of Rockford Files, I’m gonna have to look that up!

[@lynnries7729]

If you like Matlock, you'll love Rockford Files...James Garner in his prime...handsome and funny.

[@StacieRambo]

So cute and enjoy you as well!

[@giovannacasadio9600]

So so cute 😍 💓

[@ojoodolldesign]

Good❤❤❤

[@Tarz_2011]

Hello, how are you? Very beautiful dolls. Do you have courses in designing and making patterns for cloth dolls?

[@FrancesSmeby]

Can you brush yarn out and roll them in a small crochet hooks and press them with white vinegar to make them permanently curly?

[@PinCutSew]

I’m not sure, but you can use chunky yarn and unwind the strands for a curly look!

[@coloursinnature5484]

🎉🎉🎉❤

[@dellaharlee9887]

Can you do this on a crochet doll?

[@JulieJewelsWorld]

What is the light weight yarn you recommended? The name of it?

[@PinCutSew]

Any wool yarn is the lightest! Acrylic is great too, but I avoid cotton because it’s so heavy.

[@JulieJewelsWorld]

@@PinCutSew okay 👌 thank you so much, you do beautiful work! 😊👌

[@UOlover13]

This is a random question, but where did you get your clock from? It’s so cute!

[@PinCutSew]

Ummmm I cannot remember. Hobby lobby, maybe?

[@nathalyariasgarces935]

How can you make the hair curly?

[@PinCutSew]

You can buy chunky yarn and unravel the strands!

[@maiaafton]

Is there a way I cannot put the paper my sewing machine is 92 years old and I don't trust that the paper wouldn't break my machine

[@PinCutSew]

You could some tear away interfacing instead.

[@maiaafton]

@@PinCutSew ok thanks

[@dellaharlee9887]

What if you own a sewing machine or no how to sew?

[@danahammes1386]

I just purchased this pattern and received no pattern

[@PinCutSew]

Hi there, can you send me an email to pincutsew at yahoo dot com so I can help you? Thanks!

[@teresiastepp3551]

It says it is NOT FREE. Is that right?

[@PinCutSew]

That’s correct, the doll pattern is not free, it’s available in my pattern shop.
