I've been working on some hairnets recently. I find I have a hard time making the same pattern over and over several times without wondering how or what to change.
I started with the Simple Hairnet. A fairly basic pattern.
Round 1mesh stick: 3/8”Form a grommet with 40 loops, the last loop tied with a Connecting Knot (CK). (40 loops in the round)Rounds 2-29mesh stick: 3/8”Net 1 knot in each loop. (40 loops in round)

Then I began to wonder what would happen if I used fewer loops in the center and put some increases in the first few rounds. I decided to start with nine loops in the center, put 2 knots in each loop for the next row, and then put six increases evenly spaced the next few rows.
That gave me the Windmill hairnet.
Round 1mesh stick: 3/8”Form grommet with 9 loops (last one tied by hand with CK). (9 loops in the round)Round 2mesh stickNet 1 more knot in loop formed by CK, net 2 knots in all other loops. (18 loops in the round)Round 3mesh stickNet 1 knot in next loop, net 2 knots in the next loop, *net 1 knot in each loop for 2 loops, net 2 knots in next loop*; repeat from * to *, tie the CK. (24 loops in the round)Round 4mesh stickNet 1 knot in next loop, *net 2 knots in next loop, net 1 knot in each loop for 3 loops*; repeat from * to *, ending with net 1 knot in the last loop, tie the CK. (30 loops in the round)Round 5mesh stickNet 1 knot in next loop, *net 2 knots in next loop, net 1 knot in each loop for 4 loops*; repeat from * to *, ending with net 1 knot in each loop for 2 loops, tie the CK. (36 loops in the round)Round 6mesh stickNet 1 knot in next loop, *net 2 knots in next loop, net 1 knot in each loop for 5 loops*; repeat from * to *, ending with net 1 knot in each loop for 3 loops, tie the CK. (42 loops in the round)Round 7mesh stickNet 1 knot in next loop, *net 2 knots in next loop, net 1 knot in each loop for 6 loops*; repeat from * to *, ending with net 1 knot in each loop for 4 loops, tie the CK. (48 loops in the round)Rounds 8-30mesh stickNet 1 knot in each loop. (48 loops in round)

Windmill Center |
As I was making this hairnet, to double-check the instructions, I found myself wondering what the center would look like if the increases were in the small increase loops. Finally, to satisfy my curiosity, I tried it.
It looked like a small asterisk, and since, according to sources online, asterisk means "little star", so I had another similar, but different, hairnet - Little Star.
Round 1mesh stick: 3/8”Form grommet with 8 loops (last one tied by hand with CK). (8 loops in the round)Round 2mesh stick: 3/8”Net 1 more knot in loop formed by CK, net 2 knots in all other loops. (16 loops in the round)Round 3mesh stick: 3/8”Net 2 knots in the next loop, *net 1 knot in the following loop, net 2 knots in next loop*; repeat from * to *, tie the CK. (24 loops in the round)Round 4mesh stick: 3/8”Net 1 knot in the next loop, *net 2 knots in next loop, net 1 knot in each loop for 2 loops*; repeat from * to *, ending with net 2 knots in the last loop, tie the CK. (32 loops in the the round)Round 5mesh stick: 3/8”Net 1 knot in each loop for 2 loops, *net 2 knots in next loop, net 1 knot in each loop for 4 loops*; repeat from * to *, ending with net 2 knots in the last loop, tie the CK.
