WIG
For braid, cut 60 pieces of yarn each 1 yd. [1 m] long. Tie pieces together tightly in the center using a double strand of yarn. Fold in half at the tie. Divide yarn into 3 bunches of 40 strands each and braid. Fasten rubber band or ribbon tightly around end of braid to secure. Trim ends. Repeat for second braid.
Cut remaining yarn into 6 in. [15.5 cm] pieces for bangs. Attach pieces to ribbon with double-sided tape. Position bangs with yarn-covered side of ribbon against inside front of hat. With glue gun, glue bangs in place. Glue a braid inside hat on each side.
Cowgirl Wig Reviewed by Rebecca Jones on 2009-09-25
We made this wig for Halloween 2009, we adapted it to look like "Anne of Green Gables", we used half of the strands, so we got some thinner braids, and we attached them to a straw hat and added green ribbons. Thanks so much for this fun and easy pattern.
Peace,
Rebecca and Katie(age 10) from Alberta, Canada
