So let's get started:

Firstly, I need a bottle of champagne in stock MANDATORY!

A model is

tried on it, proportionality is assessed, so without it ... From the beginning, we knit the head with columns without single crochet beige or pink yarn (I had Alize Cotton yarn, 330 m per 100 g, color 67, hook number 3). ..
The principle of knitting a ball I hope everyone understands, if not I will lay out a scheme ...
The head should not be a perfect ball, so the number of rows without increments and reductions should be a row or two less than for a ball ...

start knitting directly to the base of the doll ... Knit from the same yarn as the future caftan ( YarnArt Gold, 400 m per 100 g, the hook number 2)

Knitting circle columns with sc

Fold it in half

From the top of the fastening there are several stitches for visibility of the spout with yarn from which the head was knitted.

As a result, I left the scalp at this stage ...

You can completely make the head with the hair if you want. ..

Then the cap is glued to the head so as not to fly ...

Ku Clu will be removed and put on the bottle, the cap will fly off if it is not fastened ... it seemed to me that it is more convenient and practical to glue the cap ... well, then why are hair everywhere ...
