That’s a very cute hat, but I can’t help but notice… does your doll have nipples?? Never seen that before lmao.
I have found it so difficult to crochet with hooks that small. This is amazing and really impressive!
Thank you!
I thought it was a reference to Lenna at first. Also, sorry if this is a little crude, but since when does Barbie have nipples?..
The purple-haired Barbie was originally a mermaid:
It’s a cheap playline Barbie, but it’s popular among doll collectors because of her head 😅 People usually buy her and replace the original body. I used a MengF body. Here is my old post. I covered her breasts, but there’s no NSFW. You can see more photos of the body in this article (not mine!). It’s in Ukrainian, but you can just skim through the photos 🙂
Hehey, so she got her legs! I hope she can still sing! :) That’s cool, I had no idea about any of this. It’s uncanny how much the details on the collar bones add to the realism of the body.
The hat is perfect, it’s incredibly tightly and cleanly crocheted once you consider the scale!
Thanks 🙂
Wow that’s really cool!! How does she crochet something so small? Does she have to use some sort of magnifying glass?
Thanks! No magnifying glass, but she used 0.75mm hook.
My wife says her smallest is 2.25… I had to ask her. She makes Luffy hats. The straw hat for that pirate kid on One Piece. She watches it. I only vaguely know what he looks like. But there’s a Netflix show now, it’s popular, those hats move.
Cool! A friend of mine likes Once Piece, so I’m familiar 🙂
These dolls are somewhat small (1:6), so tiny patterns look more natural on them, which is why she used a very small hook.
Yeah, my wife asked me to repeat the hook size when I told her what you said your wife uses. She thought I misread. She doesn’t think she can use a hook that small, though now she might be inspired to try it.
My wife is relatively new to the hobby (year and a half or so), so she’s constantly learning, and improving. So maybe she will go that way eventually. Her latest kick has been grid patterns, which is popular with knit and cross stitch, but can be crocheted as well. So as I understand it, a smaller hook will result in a smaller product, which means a bigger grid will be the same size or similar to a smaller grid made with a bigger hook, so she could get more detail in. But that is something she will have to work towards.
Yeah, there is some special kind of fun in small things 🙂 And yes - your understanding is correct.
