How to Make a Yarn Wig

Attach pieces to the back.

Refer again to the diagram on step #6 and note the yellow circles. You need to attach three bundles of yarn at the back of the head, a 1/2" under the first bundle you attached to the crown of the cap.

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.
