Humidifier Mineral Hats

[darkcedars]

Tagged as "rerun" because I will remake these and am not going to make a new post every time. 

Disposable mineral catchers for my warm mist humidifiers. When I clean the humidifier, I take out all the removable parts to wash and fill the heating element area with vinegar. In a few hours I check, and throw away the used hat. 



Hook size - H (5mm)
Yarn - worsted kitchen cotton scraps

Rnd 1- ch 4, 9 DC in 4th ch from hook. Join (10 stitches).

Rnd 2- DC, fpdc in each around.

Rnd 3-4- DC in each around. 


12 Jan 21 - made 9, have been using up all my scraps too much and not starting new dishcloths. 
19 Jan 21 - made 6 more, definitely out of scraps now.
10 Mar 21 - made 22 more, from 2 rolls of 2oz Sugar n' Cream that I didn't like the color.  Closing this item for now as it is almost time to put them away for the year. 

Used humidifier hat - the yarn itself is stiff with minerals and buildup touching the element has come off with the hat.
