Tie Off and Cut the Yarn

How to Make a Yarn Wig

Tie one end and cut the other.

Cut a small 5" length of yarn. One side of your pillow will have the two loose ends of yarn that you began and ended your wrapping. Gather and tie your locks together on the side that does not have the two loose ends of yarn. Make sure to tie these together as tightly as possible, using a double-knot to secure.

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.
