Wartime styles for covering your hair without the need for a trip to the salon.

Which girls, was a treat at best during this hard time, so something practical

and cheap was needed and something nearly everyone could do, knit or

crochet a turban! Mission accomplished!

Turban No. 1

The soft springy pattern of this turban gives it a particularly good grip

on the head. It's knitted in two sections and joined and gathered beneath

a narrow strip at the front of the head, fitting over the head like a cap.

MATERIALS : 3 ozs. (90g) of Fingering or 3-ply,

pair of No. 1 1 and No. 6 knitting needles.

MEASUREMENTS : Turban is about 23 inches long from front

seam to ends and 5 inches wide

The needles are old sizes so I have included a conversion chart to help
