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.

Marina says
I love this hat, but I have crocheted this hat 2 x and both times it is not coming down as a hat, it looks more like a floppy ufo. What am I doing wrong?
Please advise
Jeanne - The Crochet Crowd says
It's pretty hard to say without seeing it, but usually when clothing doesn't fit, it's because the gauge is off.
Lisa Templer says
Do we still go to 7 inches when doing the messy bun hat before we do the border or does that reduce?
Laura Jean Bartholomew says
I laid my hat down, visualized where the top of the hat would be and measured down from there. I hesitate in telling you how how many rows as our tension and gauge may vary. Consider if you want your ears covered partially or all the way. -LJ

Hello! If you're doing the messy bun version of this hat. After you do round 10 how many of the plain crossover rounds plus following DC rounds do you need to do to reach the quote 7 inches. As we started on round 5 I'm unsure of how many to do
