OH - - IO!!

The Buckeye Blitz Beanie & Messy Bun Hat is a super fun hat to work up! I carry my yarn on the inside of my hats, so even though there are a lot of color changes in this hat - there are only 3 continuous strands to worry about sewing in the ends!

Although I’ve named this Buckeye Blitz… it’s a great TEAM SPIRIT hat! Pick the 3 colors from your High School, College, or Professional sports team… and you will have people asking Where’d you get your hat!?“

I love to pair this hat with homemade faux fur pompoms, attached with a button.. you can easily switch out the pom for a new look! (just remember to remove prior to washing - faux fur poms do not enjoy a bath!)

This hat does have post stitch, and a special join tutorial for a smoother looking seam!

Listed as a Teen/Average Adult size hat, but it can be easily changed to fit all sizes! It has a bit of a slouch, which looks great with the PomPom!

Can be made in solids, or 2 (or more) colors! (I have included instructions listed on how to make the striped pattern shown)

This pattern is worked from the bottom up.
You will need 3 colors of #4 WW yarn of your choice (I used Caron one pounder in Red, light grey and white)
I and J hook
Scissors
yarn needle
Pompom of your choice - yarn or faux fur both look great with this hat!
(I make my PomPoms 7.25 inches in diameter)

I hope you enjoy making this as much as I did!
