So now I'm moving them here!
This is for my Dread Holder.
Worsted weight yarn. Wool is the stretchiest, but any yarn will do.
J (6mm) hook
darning needle
Pattern:
Ch until it’s big enough for your head. I made about 70 for wool, 74 for acrylic, and 72 for cotton. Make sure you have an even number. Join in a loop, being careful not to twist.
ch 4 *Dc, ch1, skip next st* all the way around. sl st in top of ch 4 to join in round.
With each subsequent row, ch 4 *dc around next ch1, ch1* all the way around. st st in top of ch4 to join.
And that's it! I like mine best 7-8 rows wide, but feel free to tweak as you see fit.
Thanks for the pattern, I love it! I am making myself a couple for my baby dreads. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have some skin cancer removed next week, from my forehead and along the hair line (about 4 inches long and 1 1/2 inches wide) and have been looking for decent patterns like this to cover the scars. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI'm a lil confused by the line "With each subsequent row, ch 4 *dc around next ch1, ch1* all the way around. st st in top of ch4 to join." - Do you mean that I 'dc, ch1' all the way around til I get to the beginning again?
ReplyDeleteConfusing me too. Did you figure it out? I haven't

DeleteShe does mean dc, ch1 all the way around, but you're dc-ing into the ch1 space of the previous row.
DeleteWhatever is between asterisks is always repeated until the end.
