It is now summer and its hot. Sometimes I just do not want to do my hair and I want to tuck it away in a hat. Problem is most of my hats are made of wool and they just will not work so I decided to make a turban hat with knit fabric.I looked for a tutorial on-line and could not find one with everything I wanted so I took a bit of everything I liked to come up with this tutorial.
