Made a Pointy Witch Hat for the Doll


 I did get some more of my crochet for my doll done.
This time I used Make It Mine doll by Goodreau to model the outfit. I wanted to make sure it fits several 1/4 scale dolls.
 No witchy outfit is complete without a pointy hat. So I made her one. I put a big red button on it with some jingle bells. I made little loops like belt loops around it so it could be threaded with a ribbon. That way the ribbon can be tied to loosen or tighten the hat if needed. I made the hat to fit my alabaster doll head with her wig on, so it just barely fits MIM doll. The MIM doll is more like a size 7/8 wig. My doll is about a size 6. I just loved the silly buttons bells and ribbons for her. They are cute and help pull the outfit together.
 This is the side view. I also found out that the dye on the jingle bells is not fast. So I will have to be careful when I wash and size this. This thread has a lot of lint too. When I took the dress off the doll, she had black lint all over her body. I bought the name brand Red Heart too. I am looking around for new threads now. This is just not the thread I remember ever using. 

I put bows and jingle bells on the pockets too. The bells are so small they sound like sand shifting and don't really jingle but maybe in the doll's world the sound is jingling along. 
 This is the back view of her hat.
I hope to make her some matching jewelry to complete her look soon. But for now I need to get back to making her arms and legs.
