Childs’ Messy Bun Hat Free Crochet Pattern
Pattern #: LW5607
Designed by: Katy Petersen
Skill Level: Beginner
Using jumbo yarn and a big hook, this bun hat can be crocheted in record time. Working around an elastic band ponytail holder for your first round leaves a hole just the right size to allow your messy bun to stay outside your hat.

RED HEART® Grande™: 1 ball 275 Nectar
Susan Bates® Crochet Hook: 11.5mm [US P-16]
Yarn needle
Elastic ponytail holder
Gauge/Tension: 6 dc = 4½” (11.5 cm); 4 rows = 4″ (10 cm). CHECK YOUR GAUGE. Use any size hook to obtain gauge.
Hat measures 18” (45.7 cm)” circumference at brim.
Notes
