Skill Level: Easy

Hello to you all! This is my first attempt at designing a messy bun hat. I’m using the same weave pattern that I’ve used previously in my Ginger Basket Shawl. While I kept the making process easy, I still wanted to give this hat an exceptional style, so I paired an easy pattern with a vibrant colored yarn with small flowers sprinkled all over it. I also added a ribbon to the top opening so it can be adjusted to the head size and hair. So grab a skein of your favorite stashed yarn and a ribbon and make this messy bun hat for you or your little ones in just a few hours. I’m preparing another easy to knit project using the same type of yarn, so keep an eye out for it. Have a lovely knitting day!
