A skully is a slang term for a hat that fits closely onto your head. This type of hat is usually knit from wool or cotton.

Nevertheless, the skully is a fashionable way to keep your head warm and has been for a long time. With a bit of "know how" you can fashionably wear a skully.

Things You'll Need

• Comb
• Bandana (optional)

Instructions

1. Choose your skully depending on your needs for a hat. There are skullys with wider, more open weaves for warmer climates as well as dense, thick skullys for extremely cold weather.

2. Comb your hair so that it will not get in the way of your skully. You can wear a bandana underneath the hat so that it does not mess up your hair if you desire.

3. Place the skully on your head, preferably while looking in the mirror. Place your head in the large, open end of the skully and pull it down over your head evenly from the sides. It should fit tightly and be centered on your head. Your forehead will be mainly covered as well as your ears.

4. Adjust the skully so that it fits your head well. You can pull it down low near your eyes or wear it higher on your forehead for a different style. Make sure that it is comfortable and that you can still see while wearing it.
