We picked out a skein of multi-color yarn in warm colors. Our winter hat had a little purple in it, but it mostly matched and will work just fine. It is important that the yarn match the hat because while you move, the hat may become visible between the threads of yarn. When the hat matches, no one notices the spots that the yarn doesn’t completely cover. Not having to completely cover the hat is what makes this project so quick and easy. If you are making a Corpse Bride wig, use dark blue and white yarn. Next, we’ll measure the yarn. Wrap your skein of yarn around the pillow 30 times. Make sure that your last wrap stops on the same side you started on. Snip the yarn from the skein. Next, you’ll tie off and cut the yarn. Next, cut the yarn on the other side of the pillow, where your loose ends are. You will be left with a bundle of yarn that is tied in the middle. Make 11 of these yarn bundles. Later, you will make smaller bundles for the bangs. Next, we will attach the bundle to the hat. Poke the crochet hook through the hat again, this time, just to the left of the chalk line. Pull the other end of bundle tie through the cap. On the inside of the cap, tie the two ends together. Secure with a double knot. Now, let’s see a diagram of where to attach your bundles. Next, you will thread and tie more bundles of yarn down the front of the cap. Your hat should start to look like the one shown here. Don’t worry about the blank space in the front, that is where we will now attach the bangs. Just like the green circles in your diagram in step #6, we will attach four sets of bangs along the front of the hat, right under your last center bundle. You’re almost done. Now you need to work on the back and sides of the wig. Attach the rest of your long bundles of yarn. Attach 2 bundles of yarn on each side of the hat. These are the pink circles in your Step #6 diagram. Try on your wig and see if you are getting the kind of coverage you want. This is meant to be a center-parted wig and is suitable for putting into pigtails. Now is the time to trim your bangs to the right size, or add more bundles of yarn if you need more coverage. To make a side-parted wig, run bundles to the side instead of straight down the middle. See the finished wig.
