How to Crochet a Messy Bun/Polytail Hat for Beginners

Check out this Messy Bun hat - made with an elastic hairband at the very top to keep it nice and snug to your bun! It's perfect when you don't have a huge bun to cover up a whole at the top of the hat. It is easy to either stretch the top as you pull on over your bun or simply pull your hair through the top and make your messy bun once the hat is on.

This video is perfect for a beginner as I will walk you step-by-step through the stitches needed to make this hat. All the instructions and materials you need are listed below. It's easy - GIVE IT A GO!
