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.

I tried making this hat, and I kept ending up with an extra stitch on each round after round 8. My issue was I was slip stitching into the chain 3, instead of the first FPDC. After I figured out my mistake it worked up beautifully.

I've been crocheting for 40 years and consider myself an expert. This pattern is flawed as it does not work up to a proper size. Somewhere around row 8 the decreasing stops and the hat is barely 18 inches around. A typical adult head is 22. While there is stretch to the hat, it's still too small. I'm now in the process of rewriting it so it fits properly. I love the stitch pattern!

It sounds to me most everyone that works this pattern up is coming across some problems at some point. I'm not sure, but I read that the pattern calls for worsted weight yarn but does not say what ply. As I studied the photo of the hat, it looks, to me, that they used a chunky yarn, maybe 5 ply. That could be the reason that most everyone who has tried this pattern on this post are having problems with it. Try the 5 ply and see what happens. Good luck.

Worsted weight yarn means that it is #4.... the number of ply is irrelevant. And many folks have made this hat with great success. I'm not quite sure why others are struggling with it. But a #5 bulky yarn will definitely change the sizing on it.

I am on row 9 of the Frenzy bun hat and I have been doing the video with Mikey and I have ended up with 63 instead of 62 so I have an extra DC. How do I fix this, not afraid to frog but I have undone it a few times and I still end up with the same count. HELP PLEASE!!
Jeanne - The Crochet Crowd says
I personally wouldn't worry about one extra stitch, but would just correct it with a dc2tog.
