Step 01 

Measure your Dinkum Doll’s head (leaving an additional 2cm at the end to glue the tab) and cut a cardboard strip to size (approx. 2-3cm wide). With a hot glue gun or stapler, join the ends to make a circle. This will be the base of your knit hat.

Cut 30-40 pieces of yarn that are 40-45cm long depending on the doll's head size and yarn thickness.

Step 02 

Double up each piece of yarn and make a loop around the piece of cardboard. Pull the ends of the yarn through the loop.

Step 03 

Repeat Step 2 until the cardboard base is filled. Make sure to pull each piece of yarn tightly so it stays in place.

Step 04 

Twist and push the ends of the yarn through the hole so you turn the hat inside out.

Step 05

Use a piece of yarn to tie a double knot.

Step 06 

Trim off the excess yarn to create a pompom shape. And voila! A cosy, no-knit hat for your Dinkum Doll.
