(a) Knit some I-cord for awhile.
(b) Cast on something like 14 stitches on each side and then six stitches in the middle that are done in stockinette the whole time. Switch knitting and purling every 4 rows or so on the edges to make some kind of stockinette ridges. Leave the middle as stockinette the entire time. .
(c) When you're about out of yarn, sew the middle column together into a column, make sure you've got the I-cord placed in the middle when you do it.
(d) Pull the drawstring to scrunch it up a bit into a frilly collar.


Because I finished this during Shrek rehearsal and I'm sick of my pandemic hair, here's a new wig you haven't seen before.

Flare the collar up.

Fold the collar down.
