Crochet messy bun beanie – Puff stitch

Quick and simple crochet messy bun beanie pattern.

You can make this beanie in around 2.5 hours.

Made with a lovely puff stitch design.

Pattern and photo tutorial.

I’m not done with the Messy bun beanies yet. The weather is constantly in the minus and I was not made for the cold!

I do love dressing up cosy, My Big boots, Lined jackets and soft jumpers have been on rotation for the last few months  and I now need a collection of hats, ear warmers and scarfs to match.

I don’t get much time to myself in the mornings – a 5 year old and 9 month old see to that. I have to just grab something and go. The messy bun beanie is perfect for that! Out with the old beanie (for now) and in with the new, versatile and totes cute Messy bun beanie, x

This design is my absolute favourite! Doesn’t it look like rows of little hearts?!
I love the soft, spongy texture it has and my head can still breath if I’m wearing it for long periods of time – there’s nothing good about a hot and itchy head.
You could have yours for the School run by tomorrow – RESULT!

Materials

• DK/Light/ Worsted yarn (any yarn that can be used with a 4mm hook) I have used 40% Wool 60% Acrylic in Berry Berry Wool mix yarn
• 4mmHook
• Child (80g), Teen (90g) Adult (110g)
• yarn needle
• scissors

PUFF STITCH –

	Step 1:  Yarn over hook and insert into indicated stitch, give  little pull until you have a 1cm thread of yarn between hook and your stitches. Step 2:  You should have 3 loops on your hook.
	Step 3: Yarn over
	Step 4:  Insert the hook into the same stitch, yarn over and pull through a loop.  You should have 5 loops on your hook.
	Step 5:  Yarn over
	Step 6:  Insert the hook into the same stitch, yarn over and pull through a loop.  You should have 7 loops on your hook.
	Step 7:  Yarn over and insert again. We will do this a total of 5 times.
	For this pattern we will secure first puff stitch, and repeat again – 2 puff stitches in the same stitch, chain 1 to secure. Chain 1 again to move on.

For this beanie we will be doing 2 puff stitches in the same stitch. Complete your puff with a chain 1 and then do another puff in the same stitch, complete with a chain 1, then chain 1 again to move onto the next part. (You will chain 1 twice after the second puff)
