Laali’s bun cover
Clare’s little school friend Laali has very long, thick, dark hair. When her mother discovered that I crochet, she mentioned that Laali needed a bun cover for ballet. A quick search of Ravelry for a pattern, a quick rummage through my yarn stash for some appropriate yarn (Cleckheaton Bamboo) and an hour of time later, it was done!
You’d get a better idea of how it looks on a person than on a ball of yarn, but this was all I had available to photograph.
We tried it on Laali at school the next morning and it’s perfect; it really complements her beautiful hair. Very satisfying – marrying form and function!
Lara, that is super gorgeous. Sell them – please!
Its extremely gorgeous. I’ll just have to make one !! I wonder if I can add sparkly bits . . . . fluffy and fun yarns . . . . embroider little angels onto it, add BEADS! . . . . oh no !! You’ve passed the baton !
That is precious! I love it.
So lovely to see them in omething other than ointment pink. *sigh* I wish I crotcheted…..
That is lovely. I’m sure she will feel like a princess.
Oh wow – what a great idea. You could make all sorts of colours….did it take long?
Very sweet! I never realized how much ballet stuff there is until I started taking it as an adult. Those little girls need so much stuff!
Aaahhh, well that does bring back memories for me. I used to wear one of those when I did ballet MANY years ago!!! But mine were definitely not as pretty as yours. That is super sweet and gorgeous colours.
Nice work; it’s quite lovely.
Do you sell these? I would be very interested.
