Solomon’s Hair Net: Free Crochet Pattern

Are you looking for a chic, quick crochet pattern for a hair net? A snood of sorts? This Solomon’s Knot hair net crochet pattern is stylish and SO FAST to crochet. Make one today using this free crochet pattern in TWO options!

Solomon’s Hair Net

There are TWO patterns included in this post. The first is for a headband style that has a button at the top. The second uses less yarn and is quicker to crochet and has ties for closure instead. I find the tie closure to be both easier to put on/wear, and more comfortable. You decide which you prefer and find both of the two patterns separated out below to make sure you’re working the intended version.

Since I work from home, and rarely leave the house for a variety of reasons, I let my hair air dry 99% of the time. Because my hair is half way down my back, while wet it sits on the back of my neck and gets my shirt wet as it dries. Not a huge deal of course, but enough of an annoyance that I find it helpful to have my hair up and off my neck.

This hair net is basically a snood, a net that is intended to hold hair up and off the back and contain it in a beautiful, yet chic way. This net checks all those boxes!

*option #1

*option #2

Materials:

Dishie 100% cotton yarn
-approx. 20 yards for option #1 (chain tie closure)
-approx. 35 yards for option #2 (headband style)

Pattern Notes: 

Pattern written in US terms.

Tr = Treble Crochet (tutorial here)

For this pattern we are using the Solomon’s Knot stitch – also known as the Lover’s Knot stitch. Abbreviated as “Lk” (Lover’s Knot) instead of “Sk” because the Sk looks too similar to “skip” in crochet terms.
