The Hat

Ch 36 (46). If you would like your wig to be longer, add more chains, and if you want it shorter, add fewer chains.

R: 1 - 1 sl st in 2nd ch from the hook and in the next 4 chs, 1 sc in the next 30 (40) chs, ch 1, turn. (5 sl st, 30, 40 sc)

R: 2 - Working in the BLO, 1 sc in next 30 (40) sc, 1 sl st in the 5 sl st, ch 1, turn. (30, 40 sc, 5 sl st)

The 5 sl st is the top of the hat, where we will gather closed when finished.

R: 47 (53) - 5 sl st, 1 sc in the next 15 (20) sts, ch 16 (21), ch 1, turn (I changed colors on this row).

Check to make sure the amount of chains line up to the other side of the wig, or you will have an uneven wig, unless you want an uneven wig, which might look pretty cool.

R: 51 (57)-76 (85) - Repeat R: 50 (55) and R: 51 (56) alternating rows.

Check to make sure you are staying even with your stitches and rows. If you need more rows for width, you can add them here.

Line up the back of the wig, wrong side out, and sl st the back of the hat closed. Tie off and weave in your end.

Finishing Touches

With a 24 inch piece of matching yarn, thread onto the yarn needle. Still working with the wrong side of the hat, sew and gather closed the top of the hat. Tie securely, so the hat stays closed. Cut yarn and flip right side out.
