The final product, bonnet underscarf hijab

You need
- 0.5m (1/2 yard) fabric, stretchy material suits best
- 1/2" wide x 15cm (6”) long elastic band

Cut the material in the following sizes
- 34cm (13”) x 100cm (38”) for the front piece.
- 28cm (11”) x 40cm (16”) for the back piece.

Fold the larger rectangle in half with right sides together. Sew around the edges leaving an opening for turning - see Diagram 01. Turn the right side out, fold in the raw edges of the opening and sew it closed. Repeat the same process to the smaller rectangle.

To stitch the front and back pieces together - see Diagram 02
- Find the centre of the front and center of back pieces and pin them together
- Sew from the centre down to the end of the back piece and do the same again to the other end.

Place the elastic band along the folded edge of the back piece. Stretch it to fit the width of the back piece and sew it in place with zig-zag stiches. This way it gathers the back piece to hold your hair snuggly under it.

Place this bonnet style underscarf on your head and tie the two long end at the back of your neck.

This type of underscarf sewing patterns looks a bit more tedious to do compare to the tube style underscarf. But the end product is superb and it will also provide you more flexibility in adjusting the tightness of your underscarf.
