Retro Messy Bun Hat Crochet Pattern

"This fun yellow hat will be sure to brighten up any gloomy day – even though you can choose whichever color you’d like. People won’t be able to help but ask you where you go your cheerful headpiece from. In this easy to intermediate pattern, you’ll begin by creating the band. Next, you’ll work your way up to making the rest of the hat and finally add whatever button you may choose. For yarn, we chose merino wool because it’s warm, soft, and breathable. It doesn’t have any of that itchy and scratchy feeling you might associate with wool."
