Messy bun/ ponytail beanie

A ‘new’ crochet trend is making its way around the internet this week.  The concept has been around for a while but really took off this week.  A standard beanie with a hole at the top to allow for a ponytail or a bun to peak through.  I have made two different types.  One option uses bulky yarn (5 ply), the second option uses standard red heart super saver (4 ply).  Both patterns below are for a standard adult hat approx 20in circumference.  I hope you find the patterns helpful!  Please leave a comment if you have any questions!  Thanks!

 

For bulky yarn-

1/2 skein of bulky yarn 5ply (serenity charisma shown)

L hook

pony tail holder

 

Row 1           Start with a standing double crochet  around the ponytail holder.

DC 22 around and join with a slip stitch.

Row 2          Chain 2, DC in the same stitch.  DC in next stitch, 2 DC in the next stitch.                            Follow DC, 2DC  pattern around, and join with a slip stitch.

Row 3          Chain 2, DC in the same stitch.  DC in next 2 stitch, 2 DC in the next stitch.                            Follow DC 2, 2DC  pattern around, and join with a slip stitch.

Row 4          Chain 2, DC in the same stitch.  DC in next 3stitch, 2 DC in the next stitch.                            Follow DC 3, 2DC  pattern around, and join with a slip stitch.
