Spacing a hole for the face

With this next step, I made a whole bunch of strings of 4-in-1's, each string was 7 4-in-1's long. 

I wanted to make sure that I was able to find the correct spacing for the face hole. 

I added a sting of 4-in-1's all along the edge of the finished head band/cap piece, I was able to put 5 stings along the cap piece, and it left a perfect amount of room for a hole for the face.  I was pretty happy with how that worked out.


For now I left each string just attached to the cap piece, and not to each other.  When I added the new strings of 4-in-1's I was not sure if I would end up having to take some off or adjust.  So I left the sides un-connected.

I might leave it undone for a bit while I work on some small sheets of chain maille to attach to each piece to extend it down towards the shoulders. 

If I were to attach the sides at this point, it would not longer lay flat on the work table.  Which is one of the reasons I left the sides detached.
