This is a V2 of my initial pattern in a different weight yarn. This time Aran

This (UNISEX) Aran Knit Ponytail or Traditional Hat is perfect for any adult/order teenager. The hat can be made into a very fashionable ponytail hat (for those with long enough hair) OR a traditional hat (fastened up at the top)

The pattern has been written in one size only (Adult), but obviously is stretchy and every head is a different size/shape anyway.

As I have said in the pattern, always do your Tension Square and adjust as stated, if need be.

For the best results, I have recommend the really beautiful
Blacker Yarns Westcountry Tweed Aran (100% British New Wool):

Fibre: 100% British New Wool (Westcountry Tweed Aran)
Ball/Skein Length: c.100g c.155m (c.170yds)
Yarn Weight: Aran / 10 ply
Finish (Woollen or Worsted): Woollen
Blacker Yarns specialise in breed specific British Wool yarn all spun and processed in Cornwall and consist of 100% natural fibres.

The pattern could be knitted with other aran wool, but do your test square first to ensure you are going to have enough yarn.

The pattern uses 100g of aran yarn
You will also need 7 stitch markers and a wool needle to sew together
