You are welcome to sell finished creation using my pattern.

Notes for following my patterns!!

✿ Work in spiral. Don’t finish the round with slip stitch (slst) unless it
states in the pattern.
✿ I recommend to use a yarn thread as a stitch marker. This will help you
to find the right first stitch of round. Once you finish the round don’t
forget to move marker in the next round’s first stitch (by the end of
round1, lay the yarn across your work so that it falls after the
last stitch in round 1. Work over it into the first single crochet.
✿ Alternative way for magic circle: Chain 2 and crochet 6 single crochet
in it.
✿ for more tie stitches you can use yarn under instead of yarn over.
✿ Using invisible decrease instead of decrease makes the final result
nicer.
✿To change color The most important rule is that yarn color is always
changed in the end of the previous stitch. For example if you want to use
new color from the beginning of round 4, you have to change it on the
last stitch of round 3. Or if you want to work the 3rd stitch of the round in
a different color, then you need to change it in the end of the 2nd stitch.

parts front part in front of the ears and back part behind the ears. This youtube
video (which isn’t mine) will help to show you sewing air but we do it on a hair
cap
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhQtxizXAOs

another hair ideas:

I would suggest to mark the hair margin first with pencil color then
start embroidering the yarn.

Also, you can comb the wool, then

use hair straighter or even iron it.
I suggest to add 2 drops of hair
serum give it a good look.
You will have a good hair look as
shown in the photos.
It takes a lot of time but it
deserves the trial.

You can also edit the cap to make Such hair by

working all the rounds in blo, don’t fast off
continue with the hair as following 👇
Then in the last round start making: (ch23,
from the second ch of the hook, 22sc, 3slst), fasten off,
weaven in ends.
Skip the round before the one we worked in.
Then join in blo of the one above it making( ch23,
from the second ch of the hook, 22sc, 3slst), fasten
off, weave in ends.
repeat in the same way till the end.
Note that you can increase hair length by increasing
number of chains.
