Ive just started making Messy Bun hats and cant say enough nice things about using a hair elastic as the base. One word of cautionTEST your elastic by stretching it a few times before starting your hat. You dont want to have it break after the hat is completed. This pattern has plenty to recommend it, but I do wish there were some photos to help explain working the Half Double Crochet in the back loop.
