Sorta like a hairglove. I think I'll have to give this a try for my biking. Ponytail tube

Here's my "review" of the ponytail tube:

I went out at lunch and picked up some "Sugar 'n Cream" cotton yarn. I had the crochet hook in my bag, so I quickly started the pattern. Basically it is a simple single crochet rectangle. The instructions are not professionally written, and I had a bit of trouble with the popcorn buttons. I decided it would be too difficult to button the thing on behind my head, so I improvised.

On the one side you make little loops (button holes), so I did the same thing on the other side. I then made two chains and laced them through the loops to be tied at the bottom of the tube. I made my tube to be about 8 inches long - enough to protect my hair at my neck.

It stays amazingly well! Cheesy

If I were to wear it bicycling, I would put a scrunchie or elastic tie at the top to make sure it did not slide down. I think if I did another one, I would do some double crochets for a lacier effect on the laced side.

The whole thing took me about an hour to make. I may just have to do another one, longer and with lacier stitches!

Do you think it can be made with regular yarn? Or even crochet thread - you can probably get a lacier look with crochet thread. I'll have to put it on my "to-do" list.

A popcorn stitch is similar to the bobble - except it is done with double crochets and pulled together before doing the sc in the next stitch.

Here's a page that shows how to do a popcorn stitch.

Wearing it was very comfortable. I think it would be a bit heavy if made much longer, but making it lacier should help eliminate some of the weight.

I can even imagine making really skinny ones, pulling your hair up in a high ponytail, and wearing a bunch of skinny ones. kind of a funky, spikey, kind of look. Nice sweater, Lisabelle! Cynde
