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

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.

During the cross over round, I am left with an extra double crochet from the "crochet inside the ring" round. I've counted that round and have exactly 33 (32 DCs and one ch 3.) What am I doing wrong?
Grace Lezetc says
I have the same thing!!!!! I've had to fudge it and skip the first 2 stitches (ch3 & dc) and then cross back over to the first dc. I use the ch3 as my last stitch in the round. I'm still out with my counts but it works
Kristy Locke says
Can you use any type yarn for this? I want to make one but I want it to be girly and cute. Not saying that regular yarn isn't but I was thinking about the fur yarn.

Just finishing up the last row which I changed from the back stitch to the camel stitch for added flare and I must say my hat is perfect, no lie, i can bend over and it doesn't fall off, i can walk across the room and it doesn't fall down and cover my eyes (i swear i was in inch from putting eyeholes in my hats like the character from fat albert had lol) and its not so tight my brains feel like squishing out my ears, yes my hat is perfect. How i made this perfect hat i will never know because I've recently discovered i cant count, i can count a row 3 times and get 3 diff. numbers, counting and crocheting at the same time is so much worse but no fuss cause I'm becoming well learned in adding and hiding stitches here and there. oh ya....did i mention my messy hat is perfect, thank you Laura and Mikey. almost forgot to mention i used Caron One Pound with a 5.5mm. Off to finish up last row and tuck ends then on my head it goes when it comes off-who knows.
