Mm @Wwf/@imm Patented Dec. 25, 1951 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 3 Claims.

This invention relates to apparel, and has more particular reference to a cap-type of head covering resembling a doll and made of yarn.

The primary object of the present invention is to provide a simple and attractive doll cap which may be readily constructed of two hanks of yarn, yarn ties, and a knitted cap member adapted to t over the head and representing the skirt of the doll.

The exact nature of the present invention will become apparent from the following description when considered in connection with the accom panying drawings, in which: f

Figure 1 is a front perspective view of a doll cap constructed in accordance with the present invention.

Figure 2 is a horizontal section taken on the line 2-2 of Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a central vertical section of the cap shown in Figure 1.

Figure 4 is an exploded view showing parts used in constructing the cap of Figure 1.

Referring in detail to the drawings, 5 indicates a vertical hank of yarn which is constricted near its upper end by a yarn tie 6 to form a neck and create a head 'I above the neck, and which is constricted at a lower point by a plurality of yarn strings 8 to form a waist line and create a torso 9, the strings 8 being tied in a bow I0 at the front of the torso. Facial elements, such as eyes I I and mouth I2 are preferably embroidered on the front of the head.

A second hank of yarn I3 passes through and is centrally constricted by the torso portion 9 of the hank 5 between the tie 6 and strings 8 so that the projecting ends thereof form the arms of the doll. A ring-like head gear I4 for the doll, in the form of a knitted strip having its ends overlapped and stitched together, is sewed on to the back of the head.

The hollow body I5 of the cap is continuous and knitted to fit over the head and to resemble a. hoop skirt, said cap body having a central opening at I6 through which the lower end of the hank 5 is extended. The opening at I6 is relatively small so that the part of hank 5 disposed therein is constricted thereby, and the cap body I5 may be stitched or otherwise secured to the hank 5 at said opening.l The lower part of cap body I5 is given fullness to resemble a hoop skirt by knitting the same with additional ribs I'I between the ribs I8 that extend the full length of said cap body. Also, a bib extension I9 is knitted on the cap body I5 at the front of opening I6 and is disposed over and stitched to the front of the torso 9 to represent a bodice front for the doll.

From the foregoing description, it will be seen that I have provided an attractive novelty in the form of a yarn doll cap which is simple in construction and easy to create.

Having described the invention. what is claimed as new is:

1. A yarn doll cap comprising a rst vertical hank of yarn, aa yarn tie extending about and constricting said rst hank of yarn near its upper end to form a neck and create a head above the neck, a plurality of yarn strings extending about and tied in a bow at the front of said first hank of yarn at a point spaced from and below said yarn tie and constricting said rst hank: of yarn to form a waistline above the lower end of the rst hank and create a torso between said yar-n tie and said yarn strings, a continuous hollow knitted cap body resembling a hoop skirt and having a central opening constrictively receiving a portion of said first hank of yarn immediately below the yarn strings and secured thereto, and a second hank of yarn constricted by and passing through the first hank of yarn between the yarn tie and the yarn strings and having its ends projecting beyond opposite sides of said rst hankv of yarn to form arms.

2. 'I'he construction dened in claim 1, wherein said cap body has a bib extension knitted thereon at the front of said opening, said bib extension being disposed over the front of and secured to the torso to represent a bodice front for the doll.

3. The construction dened in claim 1, in combination with a ring-like head gear secured on the back of the head and comprising a knitted strip having ends at the top overlapped and secured together.
