Hello! I’m Kristi Simpson, author and designer over at Kristi Simpson Designs and I am so excited that Clover has allowed me to take over for a day and bring you a fun pattern.
I have designed the coolest messy bun hat that has just the right amount of texture and flair…yet totally cute! Oh, and if you would rather have a beanie…I’ve got you covered!
The Milli Messy Bun Hat is crocheted in joined rounds from the brim to the top. There is one size but it is so much fun to make—and I just know you’ll love it! It is a quick crochet project that will be perfect for gifts and for the upcoming cold weather!
Crochet hats are a fave to design, and with so many different designs out there, I have to get creative! Well, look no further-lots of texture is added wth the back loop only and a fun stitch that will have you asking for more… more hats of course!
Okay, let’s get this hat going!
