Easy Edgy Messy Bun Hat

Easy Edgy Messy Bun Hat

"This messy bun hat pattern has a very clean, traditional, and put together style. It uses a 3rd loop stitch combined with traditional single, double, and half double crochet stitches to create crisp, linear lines. The messy bun hat is unique enough in concept, but when paired with this simpler texture, it makes it the perfect item for friends who like a more minimalist look. You could even introduce a second color for alternating stripes to customize the look. This pattern is also versatile in that it can be made into a full beanie. This is a great pattern for all levels of crocheters."

NotesWorked from the top down in a spiral. Chains do not count as stitches. Do not join at the end of the row and do not turn. Instead, slip stitch in the back bump of the second chain. Use your stitch marker at the beginning of each round. Working in the 3rd loop is easiest when you crochet loosely.
