I don't understand how row 1 can be 2 DC in each st around when there's nothing saying how many sts are placed around the band. Or am I not seeing it on this page?

amyscrochetpatterns said...

sorry, that was typo, I corrected, it supposed to be ch 3, and then 21 dc in the ponytail holder, for a total of 22 dc

Thank you so much for sharing your pattern. I just finished making one. It made up quickly and nicely. I used red heart super yarn. Thanks again.

amyscrochetpatterns said...

Glad to Hear!

Unknown said...

This is a great pattern and it fits nicely around the head.

What brand and size of yarn do you use?

Panda_Life said...

Thank you for sharing! Approximately how many yards of yarn did you use for the adult pattern?

amyscrochetpatterns said...

I used about 1/2 skein of yarn, I dont know how many yards

Will make this for my big granddaughter as soon as i can get ponytail holders

I've made a few messy bun hats, but I really like this pattern. It is so much easier to start the hat with the pony tail holder and work down; no seaming of the band, and I love the front post, back post ribbing at the bottom. This is going to be my "go to" messy bun hat from now on. Thanks for all the tips to make the hat smaller for different age groups! Thanks so much, Amy!!!

I really like this pattern, I have made the messy bun hats using both your patterns, this one seemed easier to me. I like the front/back post brim as well. Thanks for all your hard work and sharing it is really appreciated.

Glad it helped!

I love this pattern. I have had several friends ask for a messy bun hat and I am so glad I found your pattern. I have made 4 of them so far. They work up fast and are a joy to crochet.

amyscrochetpatterns said...

Glad you like it!

Unknown said...

You did not say to join in the first round but I have this big hole. Should i not slipstitch at the end of the first round to the first chain 3?

Unknown said...

Shouldn't I join at the end of round 1?

amyscrochetpatterns said...

yes I would join on top of the ch 3

Unknown said...

I love this patten. It is by far the easiest and fastest messy bun hat to make. Thanks

amyscrochetpatterns said...

Glad it helped!

I recently completed this pattern for my niece. The pattern was easy an quick...just my style. I need to create another for my other niece without the messy bun as she has short hair. Do you have a pattern like this without the messy bun part?

Unknown said...

For child and teen do you still start with 22 dc?

amyscrochetpatterns said...

here is the one I did for a child, http://www.amyscrochetpatterns.com/2016/12/crochet-messy-bun-or-ponytail-child-hat.html

Unknown said...

This is so great, my husband at times needs to use oxygen and forgets to put it on before his hat and cap/hood, with this he does not have to undo everything, but just move the mouth piece up, it will also protect him from the cold air. Thank you for the pattern.

Unknown said...

Can we make the childs one with the elastic?

amyscrochetpatterns said...

here is the child's version, its similiar but I changed the hook size, http://www.amyscrochetpatterns.com/2016/12/crochet-messy-bun-or-ponytail-child-hat.html

I have a question. I knit two sample hats for daughter to check the size, sending the sheet that suggested the yarn and hook. They were a good fit but she bought yarn (Fleece Lite not Red Heart) which calls for a size L hook. Can you suggest how to adapt/adjust the pattern with these changes?

Unknown said...

I have never made one of these before should I double the hair tie or just use as is it seeks like a large hole like 22 stitches doesn't cover it?

amyscrochetpatterns said...

not sure I understand your question, but the way I did is, Take the Ponytail holder and sl st into it with your yarn, ch 3, (Counts as first Dc), work 21 more dc in the ponytail holder -22 dc

Unknown said...

I don't understand what to to with the tail when making first slip stitch around the ring do I tie it off crochet over it confused.

amyscrochetpatterns said...

did you watch the video, I usually slip knot onto my hook then I slip stitch into the ring, then weave in your tail after you work all your stitches in the ring.

Unknown said...

Instead doing the fp&,BP could you continue to DC to length then sc last row
