R9: (7 sc, sc inc) x 6 (54)

R10-19 (or until the hair cap fits as desired): 54 sc (54)

FO, leaving long tail for sewing. Move on to attach hair to the hair cap.

Below are photos of one way I like to add hair to a hair cap. 

Start with 2 cut lengths of yarn. Double knot them together. Insert hook into the top of the hair cap, and pull one strand of yarn through until the knot stops it from coming any further. Then insert hook into an adjacent hole between sts on the the hair cap, and pull another strand through. Repeat 2 more times so you now have 4 strands of hair in 4 holes. This method will prevent the hair from ever coming out of the hair cap.

TIP – When adding hair, always fill out the front and the middle top of the head, and then space out each 4 strands of hair by 3-4 sts as you go around the head. If you add too much hair the head will be too heavy. If you need to, you can always go back and fill in later.

Once you have added enough hair, sew the hair cap on to the head. Trim up and neaten the hair.
