Purple Braids Wig
Lion Brand® Glitterspun® - Microspun - Incredible®
GAUGE: 15 single crochet = 4 in. [10 cm] BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

| Purple Braids Wig Reviewed by Debra Fjeld on 2011-09-28 |

| I made something similar to this for a friend of mine that had lost all her hair from chemo. I made it the same color as the hair she lost. She loved it! Instead of all the little braids, I made two big ones down each side. To do this, you have to cut the braids longer. So, she had two braided pigtails! Very cute!
