Build A Bun Warmer

Make this bun brilliant with your own bun warmer.


Nothing can save you from a bad hair day better than putting your hair up in a bun. And nothing can keep that bun from looking up-tight and schoolmarm-like better than decorating it with a bun warmer. Not just for ballerinas and snow bunnies, a crocheted bun warmer adds color and structure to an everyday bun. Instead of shelling out $10-plus for such a small knitted hair accessory, you can pick out your own yarn and build your own bun warmer at home.


Instructions


1. Chain four stitches, and join with a slip stitch to form a loop.


2. Chain six stitches. In a loop, chain three double crochets six times in a loop. Double crochet in the next loop. Chain one double crochet in the top of the first stitch to join and form your last loop.


3. Chain one single crochet in the same loop, and chain three single crochets seven times in the next loop. Chain one double crochet in the top of the first single crochet to form the last loop.


4. Chain one single crochet in the same loop, and chain five single crochets seven times in the next loop. Chain two double crochets in the top of the first single crochet to form the last loop.


5. Chain one single crochet in the same loop, and chain seven single crochets seven times in the next loop. Chain two treble crochets in the top of the first single crochet to form the last loop.


6. Chain one single crochet in the same loop, and chain five single crochets seven times in the next loop. Chain two double crochets in the top of the first single crochet to form the last loop.


7. Chain one single crochet in the same loop, and chain four single crochets seven times in the next loop. Chain two double crochets in the top of the first single crochet to form the last loop.


8. Chain one single crochet in the same loop. Single crochet in the next stitch; three single crochets seven times in the following loop; single crochet in the next single stitch; two single crochets in the first loop. Join everything with a slip stitch to the first single crochet.


9. Take your elastic hair band and single crochet in each single around the band, joining them with a slip stitch to the first single crochet. Fasten off your yarn.
