Instructions using U.S terminology

Please note that I start all my rounds with a ch 1 turning chain for ease.

Please check the top of this blog for video tutorials of all the stitches used in today’s pattern.

Please read through the full sheet before you pick up your hook n yarn.

For today’s pattern we’re going to have a few general notes.

This hair net can fit almost all bun sizes.

The final size is about 4” and this should work for a tiny to medium sized bun. For an extra large bun, you just need to work a few more rounds.

Instructions

I have used 6 beads in one color and 1 bead in contrast color.

You could use all 7 beads in one color as well.

We start by stringing in our beads, just like we did in yesterday's pattern.

To start pass your yarn through the 6 beads in similar color and join / knot the yarn together, leaving about 4-5” yarn tail at the end.

Tie a tight knot. Do not cut.

Now pass the yarn through the last contrast bead.

Fit that bead into the centre hole created by the first 6 beads.

Pass the yarn around the beads on the opposite side and then under the beads to tie tightly.

Now you have seven beads all neatly secured.

You can fasten off and cut off that starting yarn.

I suggest you leave a longish bit of yarn and stick this down securely.

Now what we are going to do is work with the long length of yarn and work sts in between the beads.

You have six beads, so there are six spaces and that’s where we start. For convenience, I’m going to call this just a space.

Round 1 : work dc 2-tog in the 1^st sp ;

(ch 3, dc 2-tog in the next sp) ;

rep (to) all around ;

ch 1 + dc and join to the 1^st st.

Note : Working a ch 1 + dc brings you to the centre of that last sp.

In case you are not happy with this finish, work ch 3 and join to the 1^st st.

You will, however, need to sl-st into the 1^st sp to start our pattern every time.

Round 2 : Increase round :

sc in the 1^st sp ;

ch 3, sc in the same 1^st sp ;

(ch 3, sc in the next sp ; ch 3, sc in the same sp) ;

rep (to) all around ;

ch 1 + dc and join to the 1^st st.

Round 3 : sc in the 1^st ch-3 sp ;

(ch 3, sc in the next ch-3 sp) ;

rep (to) all around ;

ch 1 + dc and join to the 1^st st.

Round 4 : Rep Round 3

Round 5 : Increase round :

sc in the 1^st ch-3 sp ;

ch 3, sc in the same 1^st ch-3 sp ;

*(ch 3, sc in the next ch-3 sp) ;

rep (to) once ;

ch 3, sc in the same ch-3 sp* ;

rep (to) all around ;

ch 1 + dc and join to the 1^st st.

Rounds 6 – 7 : Rep Round 3.

Round 8 : Increase round :

sc in the 1^st ch-3 sp ;

ch 3, sc in the same 1^st ch-3 sp ;

*(ch 3, sc in the next ch-3 sp) ;

rep (to) 2 times ;

ch 3, sc in the same ch-3 sp* ;

rep (to) all around ;

ch 1 + dc and join to the 1^st st.

Rounds 9 - 10 : Rep Round 3.

Check the diameter of your circle.

You should have about 4 – 4 ½” for a small bun.

If not, then work one round of increase and then one or two rounds without increase. Remember to keep checking diameter.

Now comes the fun part. We need to attach on the elastic.

So hold your elastic against that last round, and work sc all around looping it around your elastic as well as the bun stitches.

2^nd Last round : We work 2 sc in each ch-sp all around and join with a sl-st.

Fasten off and weave in ends.

Note that when working with elastic, you will need to stretch the elastic a bit and ease your stitches around as you work.

Last Round : (with elastic)

In case this video on working with elastic does not come on, go to https://youtu.be/T5Qc3q2N0ds

To finish with elastic : Hold the elastic near the first st, and work the first stitch into both the elastic and your hair net.

Work 1 sc in each sc all around, stretching the elastic gently as you work all around.

Join to the 1^st st.

Fasten off and weave in ends.

Finishing :

Remember to turn your hair net over and fasten off that first starting yarn and glue all ends down.

As this is a hair net and the last round needs stretch, remember to glue just the end of that final yarn.

Do not glue too long a length, as it reduces stretch.
