This messy bun beanie is super quick to make.  This is a great project for a beginner or even a simple project for a more advanced crocheter.

I love projects that I can do in the car and this beanie is one of them.  It takes me about an hour to make one, so these are perfect for last minute gifts.  I used I Love This Chunky yarn.  The Pic above is the color Peacocktails.  I Love This Chunky is a #5 Bulky yarn and comes in quite a few different colors.

Things you will need:

• 1 skein of I Love This Chunky
• I / 5.50 mm Hook
• Yarn Needle

Abbreviation:

• ch = chain
• dc = double crochet
• blsc = back loop single crochet
• Sl st = slip stitch

Gauge:

• 10 st x 6 r = 4”

Make sure to use correct hook to obtain the correct gauge.

Notes:

On rounds 1-9 I use a tall chain.   You can chain 2,

But I like the look of a tall chain, it helps keep the

Spots where you join with a slip stitch

less noticeable.

On a tall chain, you just pull up your loop on your

hook to the height of a double crochet and pull

the yarn through.

Go!

Ch. 20, sl st into 1^st ch to form a ring

If you would like, you can use a ponytail holder instead of ch. 20 it would make the opening stretch wider, but I have allowed a good bit of room.
