This pattern, and all my patterns, are written in standard Canadian/US terms.

This pattern contains instructions to make both the closed top fitted Beanie style and the Messy Bun/Ponytail Beanie style, and is written for teen/adult size and worked in the round. If you’d prefer a more slouchy style or a different size, the pattern gives suggestions on how to accomplish that.

This Channel Beanie/Messy Bun Beanie is sure to be the perfect accessory for your fall and winter wardrobe. It is both stylish and functional. Recommended for Beginners and Intermediate Crocheters and works up very quickly. It has some terms that may not be familiar to beginners, such as foundation double crochet, but there are lots of videos online to help beginners… plus I am available for any questions you may have. Just send me a message.

Sizing is adjustable depending on the length of the hat band you choose, and by going up or down a hook size to get the right size for you.
