How to Crochet a Messy Bun Beanie – 30 Minute Project
How to crochet a beanie with a hole for a messy bun or pony tail? In this tutorial, I show you how to create a very easy and cozy messy bun beanie. This is perfect if you are outdoorsy and need a beanie that will keep you warm as well as allow you to pull your hair up. I use this beanie when I’m hiking, running, and sometimes around camp.
This tutorial uses three strands of yarn to give the look of chunky yarn without the price tag. The yarn can be different sizes and weights, as long as they aren’t vastly different, then this pattern will work for almost any three types of yarn. I love to use chunky patterns when I am using thrift store yarn, as I don’t always know the size or type.
If you aren’t familiar with some of these stitches, I recommend trying out my Beginners’ crochet series. This will help you with any tricky stitches or quick overviews you might need: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUmcifMqZH5s3cLaL0U6V8qzPffPnsckA
