Bobble Messy Bun Hat Crochet Pattern

When it comes to this crochet pattern, messy is the way to go. We designed this hat for you to throw your hair up in a bun and head outside the house. You’ll still look so cute that people will think you woke up early to get ready.

Completely banish bad hair days with this ultra-adorable crochet beanie pattern. Since you can opt to make it with an opening for your hair, you don’t have to completely hide your ‘do. Sweep it up into a ponytail that comes through the hat, or style it into a bun.

This easy crochet pattern gives you the choice to create three different styles of hats. You can choose to make a short ear warmer, the messy bun hat itself, or the full beanie. If you can decide, then just make them all. You’ve got options.

Check out the crochet stitch guide and make sure you know some of the stitches, like the foundation half double crochet and the beginning bobble. If you’re not familiar, that’s okay, too. You can refresh your skills by watching our videos and reading the instructions.

You might even want to make a few of these as gifts for all your friends who are going to be complementing your new look. So choose your yarn, choose your style, and start crocheting up a storm.

Hii wanted to know if you could share the multiple starting chain? I really don't care for the FDC chain. I never use it when I see a pattern with it. I usually just do the chain multiple. Tysm
