Creating the Turban Look
To create the turban look, take about 1.5 feet of yarn and attach it to your yarn needle. Make sure your seam is in the back and sew in the front. Take your yarn needle and sew in the center of the hat and sew into the back loop of round 8. Sew around Rounds 8–16 many times, as seen in the picture above. Fasten off and weave in the ends.
