Bun Cover Pattern for Joo
Sep 13^th, 2005 at 7:49am

If you have been following my journal, you know that I've been attempting to crochet bun covers. I made a third bun cover over the weekend, which should fit most people (not just big-bunned people.) If you would like it, here it is!

This is my first time writing a pattern, so I'm open to any edits that would make it clearer. As well as any corrections in case I goofed. Here are some visual references:

Slst into Ch 1, tie off work, and weave ends into work.

Elastic ties, ribbon, or yarn can be used in lieu of hair elastic.

PS You don't have to use that yarn, but I didn't know what size it was, so I figure I'd just link to it. It's bigger than size 10 - about 2mm in width, 100% mercanized cotton.. If you use smaller yarn, your cover will be smaller, but I'm not sure by how much.

I am so excited that I found this thread, about three to four years ago I decided to learn how to crochet, and you know how that goes...I then attempted to crochet everything! I have an afghan started, a scarf started, several completed pot-holders, hats that don't fit so well, and just crocheted "things"! Tongue

I really enjoy doing it and learning, but i've been away from it for about a year or so...and the urge to start more projects has been creeping up on me...so i think that this is the perfect starter-upper-againer-project for me! I have never made or worn a bun cover, but I love it! You did a beautiful job, khrome- thanks for the re-inspiration!

Not because of your instructions, khrome, but because I have gotten so rusty! I had to keep looking back into my beginner book to remind myself how to do the different stitches. I'll keep trying, though, because it truly is a beautiful pattern that you came up with!

If I could help clarify anything, just let me know. I also have to break out my stitch chart when I haven't crocheted in a while. I even forget how to do a double stitch sometimes - I end up making something that's like cross between a double and a triple. Cynde
