Messy Bun Hat Crochet Pattern

Hey there! I hope 2017 has been good for you and yours so far! 

The messy bun hat has been all the rage lately, so I thought I’d throw my hat into the ring 🙂 with my version of the messy bun hat crochet pattern!

This pattern is really easy to work up as the most complicated stitch is DC2TOG (crochet 2 double crochet stitches together). There are several ways to do the DC2TOG, and several tutorials online that will show you how. 

This pattern is meant to be a one size fits most for women. This pattern fits me a bit snugly, but I have a big head – my hat size is 7 5/8. 🙂

Materials:

  • 1 Skein (192 yrds / 175 m) Loops & Threads Impeccable worsted weight yarn in Luxury Ombre. Red Heart Soft Yarn works nicely with this pattern too.
  • Crochet hook in US I / 5.5mm hook
  • Scissors
  • Yarn needle

This post contains Amazon affiliate links to help you find the yarn I used to make this pattern. I make a small commission if you order through my links, but it doesn’t cost you anything more! If you do, thank you! ?

Stitch Guide:

  • CH = chain
  • SC = single crochet
  • DC = double crochet
  • DC2TOG = double crochet 2 stitches together
  • ST = stitch
  • SL ST = slip stitch
  • (#) = signifies number of stitches you should have after finishing round

  1. Ch 9, sc in second ch and each ch across (8)
  2. Ch 1; sc in each st across. Repeat until you have 70 rows total.

    I just made my first one yesterday and was pleased with it. I had used a chunky yarn and it is so so warm. Now, I’m trying a skinner yarn and see how different it comes out. Love your beanie!! High Five for Messy Bun Hats! #TurnItUpTuesdays

      Thanks so much Selena! 🙂 I’ve found making these to be quite habit-forming- I’m on my third one already!

    What a brilliant solution for that lump of a bun or ponytail under my hat. I’m pinning now so I can make my own hat later. Thanks for sharing at the #ThisIsHowWeRoll Link Party.

      Right? I love crochet hats, but always hated how I would have a big lump where my hair bun was. When I saw these bun hat patterns popping up all over Pinterest, I said YES! And I knew I had to make a bun hat pattern of my own! 🙂

      I’m glad you like it, and thanks for hosting the link party!
