After designing my Big Bold Cabled Ponytail / Messy Bun (Beanie & Slouch) I decided I wanted to design a simpler ponytail/messy bun hat for my blog followers using the popular linen stitch pattern.

You can find the BBC Ponytail / Messy Bun hat here: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/big-bold-cabled-p...

VIDEO TUTORIAL INCLUDED

Feeling adventurous? Design your own using this as a base pattern! You can use a number of other stitch patterns (instead of the linen stitch) that have multiples of 2 or 4 if you prefer (you will just have to modify the crown shaping rows when you get to them). :D

Hat is an A Crocheted Simplicity original design.
