HOOK + MATERIALS

Scissors
Tapestry needle
Measuring tape
Style 1: 1” or 2” / 2.5 or 5 cm elastic hair tie

GAUGE
24 HDC x 16 rows = 4” / 10 cm blocked and laid flat

SIZING + FIT
This pattern is graded to five sizes, which are written throughout as Size (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) / (Toddler, Youth, Adult Small, Adult Medium, Adult Large), intended to fit circumference (16-18, 18-20, 20-22, 22-24, 24-26)” / (40.5-46, 46-56, 51-56, 56-61, 61-66) cm. Ease for all sizes is -2” to -4” / -5 to -10 cm. If you prefer a tighter fit, choose the smaller size or size down. Know that you may lose about .5” / 1cm in width because of stretch if you size down. If you prefer a looser fit, choose the larger size or size up. Keep in mind the wrap may stretch after wear.
I have a 22” / 56 cm head circumference so I fit Size 3 or 4. For Style 1, I prefer Size 4 with the extra ease as it didn’t want to slide up and off my head. For Style 2, I prefer size 3 with less ease and a tighter fit.
Detailed notes included for circumference and width modifications.

STYLES
This pattern is graded for two styles. Style 1 uses an elastic hair tie to create a closed head wrap with lots of stretch. Style 2 is an open wrap with two ties at the end to tie in a knot around your head.
