Hair Clip Cap

Ah, the mythic Hair Clip Cap! The post that time forgot.

Sorry, I’d had this scheduled as a draft and didn’t get to it in time.

 

So!

I wrote a pattern for a hair clip hat.

Why?

Because I wear my hair up in a banana clip and I can’t fit a hat over the clip!

What you need to know to knit it—

Skills​

•  decreasing
•  seed stitch pattern
•  mid-row cast-on
•  crochet
•  picking up stitches (with or without crochet hook)
•  cutting your knitting (may require addition of alcohol) for steeks-photo instructions are provided
•  Having knit a sock heel will help, but isn’t required

Size​

•  Fits Women M-L and is easily adjustable up or down

Gauge​

•  Stockinette or Seed Stitch, 12 stitches = 4in

Yarn ​

•  Charisma, Loops & Threads, Bulky (CYA #5)
•  Light worsted in a complementary color for button band

Needle

• ​US 10.5 (6.5 mm) straight or circ
• US 9 (5.5mm) circ (at least 20″)

Notions​

• Stitch holder, stitch marker.

Right now I have the pattern on Ravelry (where the link below will take you) but I’ll be adding a link to the Shoppe soon, too.

I hope you like it as much as I have. On the windy days I think it could use an iCord tie, but 99% of the time, the bonnet structure holds nicely and it’s easy to get on and off.

Enjoy!
