Crochet Simple Messy Bun Beanie **FREE Teen/Adult Size Pattern**

By -
Hi y'all! So today I have another one of my original designs to share with you. It's my own twist on the VERY popular Messy Bun Beanie! You've probably seen MANY other patterns like this one, this one, and this one. But I decided to go REALLY simple, and make one fully out of double and single crochet stitches. There is a border of crab stitches, AKA reverse single crochet, at the very end, but I promise you it's easy-peasy! So, let's get on with the pattern! Oh, and, here's a picture of mine. (Ya know, in case ya wanna see what it looks like before you go to the trouble of making it.)
P.S. the hat is made from the bottom up. :)

(Oh yeah! It's to fit ages 12 and up-ish.)

What you will need:
-Worsted weight yarn in your color choice! I used Red Heart Super Saver in Aran. I LOVE this color! *Heart eyes emoji x3*
-H/5.00mm crochet hook
-Yarn needle for weaving in ends.
-Scissors are probably a good idea too...

Stitch Abbreviations:
sc: single crochet
dc: double crochet
sl st: slip stitch
ch: chain
dc2tog: double crochet two together
st(s): stitch(es)

Crab Stitch Tutorial by Bella Coco: HERE

Pattern:
The Bottom Ribbed Band:
Begin with a slip knot and ch 9.
Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch sts across. ch 1. (8 sc sts)
Rows 2-68: sc in the BACK LOOP in each st across. ch 1. (8 sc sts)
"Row" 69: sl st BOTH ends of your now very long strip (which is the bottom band of your hat) together in the back loop only of Row 68. ch 1.

The Body of the Hat:
Rnd 1: sc in the end st of your ribbed band all the way sround and you should have 68 sts. If you don't, I suggest adding (or subtracting) a few till you reach that number, just so your count is the same as mine.
Rnd 2-5: ch 2, dc in each st around, sl st to first dc. (68 dc sts)
Rnd 6: ch 2, (dc2tog, dc in next 15,) repeat ( ) around. sl st to first st. (64 dc sts)
Rnd 7: ch 2, (dc2tog, dc in next 14,) repeat ( ) around. sl st to first st. (60 dc sts)
Rnd 8: ch 2, (dc2tog, dc in next 13,) repeat ( ) around. sl st to first st. (56 dc sts)
Rnd 9: ch 2, (dc2tog, dc in next 12,) repeat ( ) around. sl st to first st. (52 dc sts)
Rnd 10: ch 2, (dc2tog, dc in next 11,) repeat ( ) around. sl st to first st. (48 dc sts)
Rnd 11: ch 2, (dc2tog, dc in next 10,) repeat ( ) around. sl st to first st. (44 dc sts)
Rnd 12: ch 2, (dc2tog, dc in next 2,) repeat ( ) around. sl st to first dc. (40 dc sts)
Rnd 13: ch 1, make 1 crab stitch in each st around. fasten off, weave this end through the very first crab st to make it look evenly finished off. Now weave in your other end, and the hat is complete!

I hope you enjoyed this quick and simple, yet pretty, crochet messy bun hat pattern! If you did, be sure to leave a comment below and tell me!

Crochet Lamb Hat *FREE Pattern Modification*

After great reviews and many requests, here it is!  After I posted this photo: in one of the crochet groups I'm in on Facebook asking if I should write up the pattern, I got a TON of comments saying I should defintly do it, so I did! Although, it is not all my pattern, just the main part of the hat. The earflaps and the ears are part of the pattern posted by Sarah at RepeatCrafterMe. (Links to her website can be found below.) I made up the main part of this hat because I could never get the bobble stitches to "puff" enough. And lately, I have been making a lot of puff stitch slouchy hats, so I decided to make this lamb hat using the puff stitch. The puff stitch pattern I followed was the one from Ashley at Sewrella. (Her link can also be found below.)  They are my 2 favorite crochet bloggers, btw. ;) I hope you enjoy and it is easy for you to work up! If you have any questions, feel free to comment below, and I'll answer asap. Happy crocheting! ...
