Magic Circle Alternative
If you’re not comfortable with using a magic circle, you can use an alternative method to make round 1 of the pattern. This method is just as effective and might be easier for beginners.

Crown for the Elsa Wig Crochet Pattern
For size 0-3 months, work the first row of the crown between the stitches in the second to last row. For larger sizes, start the crown a few rows higher. The crown will be on the front half of your wig. Ensure your stitches are divisible by three.
Use blue yarn.
Row 1: ch 1, sc across the front half of your wig, turn. For my 0-3 months size I made 27 sc.
Row 2: ch 2, dc in each st, turn
Row 3: ch 1, *sc in next st, chain 5 and (sc in 2nd ch from hook, hdc, dc, tc), skip a stitch and slip stitch in next st*, repeat across.
Fasten off leaving a long tail and sew the crown points to the wig.
Outline the crown in gray yarn.
Braid for the Elsa Wig Crochet Pattern
Cut 60 strips of yarn, each 40″ long for a 0-3 month size wig. Attach 6 strands to each of the 10 stitches on the right side of the wig, pulling each strand halfway through. Divide into three sections and braid. Fasten the braid with a light teal yarn bow and trim the ends evenly.
Finishing the Elsa Wig Crochet Pattern
Weave in the ends.
