Laney Messy Bun Hat Crochet Pattern is warm, thick and squishy. Lines and tiny bobbles give this bun beanie a texture. The stitches used make it a little thicker giving you that extra insulation.

It uses a number of stitches namely, single crochet, extra extended single crochet, slip stitches, half double crochet, camel stitch pattern and stitch decrease. The written pattern is supported by photo tutorials and links to videos for parts needed. Once you get the hang of first few rows, it works up real quickly. There is a 1-1.5 inches diameter space at crown for a ponytail or a bun.

Pattern can be adapted easily to make a regular beanie if you like. It is available in 8 sizes from infant to adult. Use monochrome to make it classy or add 1-2 more colours to make it stripey or use warm and vibrant colours to give a boho look. Experiment with colours and hook away.

It would make a great gift for any great girl or woman in your life or even for gifting to a not so great relative. :-)
