Making a headnet

If you have a copy, Beyond Backpacking by Ray Jardine has a simple design. Actually three seams rather than one, but fairly simple. Basically it’s sort of a tube made of two pieces with a circular piece sewn at the top of the tube. The side seams don’t go all the way down so it fits over your shoulders. The tube is long so it tucks into your clothing.

You can see a picture of my daughter in one here

Unfortunately it’s hard to see how it’s made. I can send you a sketch if you are stuck.

Eric,

I made one that was just a large flat bag. Cut a long rectangle, fold in half, sew the two sides. Done. The creased side goes on top. you could fold over the open end about 1/2 to 3/4 inch (like make a cuff in a pant leg) and sew a drawcord sleeve. Alternatively, just poke holes every inch or two along the open end and weave a draw cord in and out around the perimeter (but this will probably tear out). Before you begin make sure you measure the size or even fold the fabric up and drape it over your hatted head and use some masking tape to help you get the size before you cut and sew.

>>Either way, this could be a fun project, and an easy way to save over $35.

Only if you sew, er make, two of 'em, though. ;)
