Now we knit by the front p / p of the same row, i.e. turn around and knit into another
side in a spiral for the front p / p: SS, 35vp and from the second loop from the hook 34 SS, SS
to the next. We continue to knit like this to the end of the row, making strands through one loop,
those. in one loop we knit a lock, in the next we simply join SS and again SS,
but only without a strand (i.e. skip 1 loop). The strands should be staggered with the previous row. When is the last circle left from the crown again
we knit locks more often, i.e. into each loop.
We get such a wig.
Now we sew the wig to the head. We apply a wig, combining the middle
(the top and middle of the wig), secure with a pin. Sew on. Then we put
