What I loved most about Anna was how unique she was, and how she embraced those differences that made her special! Just like Anna, we're all uniquely shaped snowflakes, no two are exactly alike. So never be afraid to flaunt your difference, since they make you the amazing person that you are!

Braids
Taking your burnt orange yarn, cut 3 strands of yarn, making sure every strand is at least 60 inches long. Then make a simple knot into a stitch at the bottom of your hat, on the right hand side (hat facing you).
In the next stitch, knot only 2 strands of yarn. Continue alternating between knotting 2-3 strands of yarn into the next 10 stitches. This will create that thick and luscious Disney princess hair that we all know and love!
Now braid the hair until it measures approx 15 inches in length. Tie a piece of yarn around the bottom of the braid to fasten it off, before trimming the ends of the braid.
Repeat the braid pattern on the left side of the hat (hat facing you), this time making sure to incorporate some white yarn to create Anna's signature platinum blonde streak.
