My sister tends to get attached to a hairstyle. In the 90s, it was the perm and big bangs, of course. In the new millennium it evolved to big loose curls with the sides and bangs clipped up. She got a good 10 years out of that one. But for the past few years, it is "Le Bun." I get it, it is quick and fuss free. And she looks great in it! But when
Last But Not Least started drawing aunty with a circle on her head, some sisterly ribbing was in order.
Enter:
Le Bun Hat. A Winterpeg-suitable toque with a hole in the top, just perfect for the bun! I adapted it from
this free pattern on Ravelry.
I gave this to my sis as a snarky little Christmas gift. She was properly amused :)
And she has even put it to good use the past few weeks with the crazy cold snap we had here ("had"….hoping that is indeed the end of it!).
I gotta say….I think I may need one for myself! Babes of the Buns unite!
I love that. You come up with the best ideas ever!!!
ReplyDeleteBwahahaha, love it!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteTotally cute. Your sister is rocking it with style!
ReplyDeleteI am totally an everyday bun girl especially in the winter when my curls just get crushed by my hat/scarf/jacket combo. This would eliminate the problem of my bun making my hats too short :)
ReplyDeleteI love it! I very rarely shower before taking Addy to the bus stop, so I'm often sporting Le Bun as well. ;) Care to share how you adapted the pattern?
ReplyDeleteYou've got to admit, a lovely hat will not give you hat hair if you are wearing a bun. You truly do need one too.
ReplyDeleteI love! I think I need one as well since unfortunately this cold snap is back on tomorrow :( I could even put my ponytail through the top - which is my style of choice.
