Head Huggers
Someone asked me to make something for them. For all of us that have a ton of hair to put under a hat... This is what I came up with by looking at a few pictures. They are very easy and quick to make.
I used an H hook. The fall colored one is Red Heart Super Saver, the Earth tones is Lilys Sugar and Cream
Rnd 1) ch 62, sl st to first ch to form ring, being careful not to twist, ch3, (counts as first dc and ch1) * skip next ch, dc in next ch, ch1, repeat from * around. sl st to 2nd ch of ch3
Rnd 2) sl st into ch 1 space, ch3, * skip next dc, dc in next ch1 space, ch1, repeat from * around. sl st to 2nd ch of ch3
Repeat rnd 2 for desired length mine was about 8-9 inches.
Next rnd) ch1, Hdc in same st, hdc in each st around. st st to top of first hdc. Repeat this round for 8 more rnds.
Next Rnd) Reverse single crochet around. Fasten off weave in ends
Tie) Chain 65 add beads to each end, weave in first dc round.
Please feel free to use or sell your own creations, but please give me credit for the pattern.

ReplyDeleteYou are so talented...this is cute!
ReplyDeletewhat an awesome pattern. Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteYou come up with the most adorable ideas! I love this.
ReplyDeleteThat is wayyy cool!!!
ReplyDelete(this note is not relating to this post, but wanted to check in with you) I noticed that you haven't made a post in a while and wanted to make sure that you were alright!) Do hope that all is well with you.
ReplyDeleteAll is good here... just REALLY busy! Thanks for checking!
ReplyDeleteso glad to hear that!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea. Thanks for sharing it. My son has long hair, usually ties it back out of the way. I was considering making him a rasta type of hat but didn't think he'd wear it. This might do the trick - or could be that his wife will steal it! Maybe I should make 2.
ReplyDeleteTwo might be a good idea!
ReplyDeleteGreat pattern!! I can't wait to make it. My brother and I wear dreadlocs and this would be the perfect gift for him. I have to show mine off as well! Thanks so much and happy holidays to you and your family!
ReplyDeleteohhh I have the perfect person on my christmas list for this hat!! You're the best for sharing with us!
ReplyDeleteJust made this - worked out perfectly, awesome pattern, thx!
ReplyDeleteI have tried this twice...but before I get to the rounds with the hdc, my circle has begun to get smaller. I can't figure out what I am doing wrong. I am new to making hats, but I am in love with this pattern. I want to make them for my granddaughters. Also, how much of the Sugar & Cream yarn do I need?
ReplyDeleteI tried this hat out for the first time yesterday. only took about 2 hours to make and I love it. so easy to read. I used Lion Brand Wool-Ease (wood color) to make mine. I can't wait tomake more. A frieend of mine has already asked for one. THANKS!!! You can see it at Winter's Wears on facebook
ReplyDeleteThis looks cute -- I wonder how it would do in crochet thread? Hmmmm....
ReplyDeletei love this!
ReplyDeletethis is great, now I know what to make my daughters and nieces! thanks so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing. I have real thin hair because of chemo treatment and this will definitely hide my bald spot! Plus keep me warm and let my longer hair hang out so I don't look bald!
ReplyDeleteLove it !!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWould this be a good size for an 8 year old girl?
ReplyDeleteMy hair is falling out due to treatment and I need to make one for myself. would you have any idea how big I would make one for an adult or would I just use a larger hook
ReplyDeletethanks

This is so cute! I live in FL, so I often use Knit Cro Sheen instead of yarn, or peaches and cream, and I have a ton of hair and am letting it grow. I also cook at church in our kitchen, etc, and need something to hold all of this hair back. I am hoping this does the trick. Thank you for such a cute pattern!
ReplyDeleteI made this hat and it fits an adult head. What number of chain do I need for a child around 8 years old? Also how many rows of each? I am no good at figuring it out my self. I follow exact patterns. Please help!
ReplyDeleteMeasure her head and then make chain that length
DeleteLove this... but quick question for either Valorie or anyone who's done it successfully... in the 1st round.. does the "skip next chain..." repeat after the dc and chain 1.. all the way around? Thank you for any help!
ReplyDeleteYes
DeleteCan I see a video of this? That's the only way I can learn how to make something.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing. Love the pattern.. and yes will be doing a few as Xmas gifts.. thanks again...
ReplyDeleteGreat pattern next on my to do list thankyou for sharing
ReplyDeleteThis is very similar to the mamba socks(Sox?) we snowboarders wore in the early 90's! Those were usually made of flannel though. I'm going to have to try this pattern for my kids.
ReplyDeleteThis size is more for child?
ReplyDeleteHas anyone figured out how to make the seam less obvious? In working on my first and my seam is very obvious.
ReplyDeletetry doing continuous round,no slip stitch at the end of each round. Just use a stitch marker. Just an idea.
