Brave Primrose Messy Bun Hat

"As a woman who wears her hair long, I can totally appreciate the messy bun hat movement! This is a wonderful way to accessories a messy bun or ponytail hairstyle and looking super cute in a hat at the same time! I like making them from the top down, working the first round of stitches around a pony tail holder. This has a ton of stretch, and holds its shape very nicely, too. If you prefer a hat without the hole - that is a simple modification, too! Start with a circular medallion and increase to the number of stitches of the first round of a messy bun hat and continue as instructed. This pattern includes several helpful video tutorials that can be found embedded into the free pattern page or on Kristin Omdahl's YouTube Channel."
