Buffalo Plaid Messy Bun Beanie
My take on the super trendy messy bun beanie takes it to a new level with the addition of festive buffalo plaid! Worked up in extra chunky wool blend yarn, this hat makes a warm and festive gift for the messy bun wearing gal on your list!
If you’re not a fan of plaid, you can make this hat in any color you like - example images are shown of some of the cute hats people have made in solids and stripes!
Written in US terminology
Size: Adult, 21”
Yarn: Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick and Quick or Loops and Threads Cozy Wool - I used a mix of the two. Or substitute your favorite super bulky weight yarn. You will need less than half a skein in the following colors:
White or Off-White for the brim - (I used Wool Ease Starlight which has a metallic thread woven through it)
Maroon
Red
Black
Yardage: Approximately 50 yards of each color for a total of 200 yards.
Gauge: 10 stitches/ 16 rows in a 4” swatch of stockinette stitch with 9mm needles.
Needles: 9mm 16” circular needles or size needed to achieve gauge. For the decreases at the top of the hat, you will need a longer cable for magic loop or double pointed needs.
Other materials: stitch marker, large tapestry needle to weave in ends
Difficulty: Advanced Begginner to Intermediate - This is a very simple beanie. The color work is the only challenging aspect.
Stitches (st./st.’s) used: knit (K), purl (P), knit two together (K2tog)
The hat is worked in rounds from the bottom up.
When asterisks appear in the pattern, repeat everything between the asterisks as many times as instructed.
