I have a problem in attaching hair to amigurumis. Seems that when I added a stitch, the head seems so squished on the area where I sew on because Im trying to make a ponytail. It seems so hard to everything into 1 hole to make the ponytail look. Im getting discourage with my work. Any advice?

I simply use a slightly larger hook and make a copy of the first part of the head up to where the ears would go approx. then fit it on the doll like a hat and stitch it all around the edge so it fits like a natural hairline. Then I hook the hair through the cap stitches, rather than directly onto the head stitches.
I make a hair cap. Crochet the same pattern as for the head until it´s the size of a natural hairline in the hair yarn, but use a bigger hook. Sew the cap onto the head and then use the stitches of the the cap, rather than the head for adding the hair. Hope this makes sense. I did this for these fairies -
Thanks for advice. Do you stitch the yarn or use the hook? I was doing hatsune miku pattern which sews the yarn directly into the head and I made a awful squished head. Dont know how they do it.
