HookedColors

(Could have swore I posted this video here but i couldnt find it-)

Its like a 37 minute video of me struggling to make these wings (posted originallyon June 10, 2021).

(Not in the video) Hard to believe I then proceeded to torture myself and make two more wings (a Grian Wing and one for my friend)

Jester beanie! 🤡

This one was very fun. I modified the pattern slightly for the colors and also tapered the ears down to a finer point.

This is before and after of steaming the hair. Depending on your yarn, hook size, and tension you might not need this, but I'm making Huan Cheng and not little orphan Annie!

I started with a pin in the center of the hair base and place it in the top center of the head, then make sure it's all facing the right way.

Stitch the hair base down around the edges. You don't have to go every stitch. Do a couple stitches in the middle, too.

His hair was in two layers, so I put the second one up in a rubber band and pinned the first one in place. I use one stitch per pin to hold the hair down, I like it to be a little flappy.

For bits like bangs, you might want to sew them a little differently. I sewed closer to the tips to tame them a bit, since they didn't have the full weight of a long strand holding them down.

Don't mind the bald spots, they'll be covered by the second layer.

You can sew one level of pins around, or one strand at a time. Doesn't matter.

Second layer of hair pinned down. See? I told you the bald spots would be covered!

I added one more layer of six strands to bulk up his hair a little, and he's done!
