How to Make Brave Primrose Messy Bun Hat Crochet Pattern

How to Make Brave Primrose Messy Bun Hat Crochet Pattern

by Kristin Omdahl

As a woman who wears her hair long, I can totally appreciate the messy bun hat movement! This is a wonderful way to accessories a messy bun or ponytail hairstyle and looking super cute in a hat at the same time!

I like making them from the top down, working the first round of stitches around a pony tail holder. This has a ton of stretch, and holds its shape very nicely, too.

If you prefer a hat without the hole – that is a simple modification, too! Start with a circular medallion and increase to the number of stitches of the first round of a messy bun hat and continue as instructed.

What you will need:
120 yards worsted weight yarn
1 ball Be So Brave Yarn; 100% American Merino Wool, #4 medium, worsted weight yarn; 120 yards per 2 oz; shown in color American Beauty.
H/8 (5mm) crochet hook
Yarn needle
Scissors
Standard stretchy pony tail holder, approx. 2″ diameter
