Craft Adventures: Adjusting Messy Bun Hat Patterns for Dreadlocks
Things have gotten a little crazy with this crochet habit. I've not worn this out yet but it is currently the only comfortable solution for my dreads to do a high ponytail. I adapted a youtube tutorial on how to make a messy bun hat, making the hole much larger for my hair.
For those who understand crochet speak, I changed the pattern instead of starting with a standard chain of 24 to make the smaller hole featured in many tutorials out there up to like a chain of 36 or 40 I believe and it was still tight. I just followed the directions for increasing the rounds, adjusting to make it fit to my head. It was an adventure, a blurry one at this point. Eventually I'll make another for John with pictures and a tutorial to share.

I like the unique niche quality of this garment. I bet its nice to have the dreads out of your face when you need them to be. @hempress is starting an organic fabric/plant dyed clothing company right now. She just did a post with her modeling some cloths from one of her seamstress friend's line.
She should smuggle me some fancy yarn next year then :)
I will see what we can find! Thank you for supporting her, she has a few garments she is finishing up she will be posting soon as well. I am out of votes for the day, I will get this comment tomorrow night.
I also upvoted her post, I've been watching her adventures from afar :)
Nice work looks good. I attempted to knit once ended up with stab holes in my fingers and a big knot haha 💯🐒
I used to knit but couldn't wrap my head around anything other than a scarf. They were clumsy honestly now that I can use a crochet needle I feel silly for knitting. Especially cause I can do knit stitches with crochet needles lol
Good work guess I need some more practice then haha. I get onto it at some point maybe 💯🐒
Crazy hair, gotta love it! And your bun-hat looks super cool! Good to see things are back to todo tranquilo en Acapulco. Keep steeming on!
Thank you! It was worth the effort, I took it out and wore it today. The looks I got were awesome lol
Awesome! What a great idea for the dreds!
It'd be great if you could join our Ultimate Crochet Contest run by @foxyspirit and me.
