Crochet a Frenzy Bun Hat
Ponytail hats, Messy Bun Hat, whatever you want to call them have been around for a while. But now they are hitting the internet in a frenzy! Yarnspirations has the Pebble Texture Hat and Mikey has a tutorial for it.
Laura Jean's goal is to modified their pattern so you can use the skills learned here at The Crochet Crowd to make your very own.
The written pattern is Crochet Pebble Texture Hat on Yarnspirations
The tutorial is at this link.

Crochet a Frenzy Bun Hat Pattern
Materials:
Laura Jean used the worsted weight and a size H hook/ 5.00mm and skipped the first three rounds. Let’s rock this thing! And get started.
- Instructions:
You will need a foundation to build your hat on.
Chain 24 and join with a slip stitch to the first chain to form a loop.
Round 1: crocheting into the loop made. Chain up 3, you will count this as a dc. Make 32 more dc into the ring. (33 dc)
GO now to Round 5: Follow the written pattern from this point on.
If you are following the tutorial Mikey starts working on Round 5 at the 8 minutes 30-second mark.
Just follow the pattern and or tutorial to finish your new Ponytail Hat. UPDATE AND ADDITIONAL HELP: Stitch counts as follows:
Rnd 4: 33
Rnd 5 and 6: 48
Rnd 7 and 8: 62
Rnd 9: 68.
Note: On the dcfp as in the tutorial Mikey is skipping the ch-3 dc from the previous row; then doing the first dcfp in the next dc and the second one that crosses over will go around the same ch-3dc just skipped.

Nina Gilchrist says
Mathematically the stitch count doesn't work. It doesn't work in reality either unless you don't use the chain 3 in your Crfpdc. The crfpdc is worked over 2 stitches ergo the stitch count would always be even. If this isn't right please explain it to me because I did not come out with an even number with which to work at the end of row 7 or 9. Row 5 worked because I ch 3 & skipped the next dc. Dcfp around
post of next dc, then dcfp around post of skipped dc thereby not using the ch 3 of previous row at all.
Thank you

Hi Nina - we have added an additional notes and stitch count. Hope this helps - LJ

I'm going to do my foundation stitches around a ponytail holder and see how that turns out. Just a thought. ?
Laura Jean Bartholomew says
Great idea! The only thing if the hair is thick it maybe to small of a hole to get the hair through? Just a thought - LJ
Gina says
Hi Jacqui! I was thinking of adding a ponytail holder, too. Just wondering if you had completed the hat yet with one and how it turned out?

If I was making this for a 2-4 year old do I still start with the same number of stitches (as per above) and then just follow the toddler hat version tutorial again from round 5? Many thanks Fiona x

Hi Fiona- all the hats are exactly the same clear up until round 6. Then follow the Pebble Texture Hat Pattern from Yarnspirations or follow Mikey’s tutorial and you should have great success! ~LJ
