When creating this oversized messy bun puff stitch slouchy beanie I wanted to make a hat which has a beautiful texture and can be worn with a variety of hairstyles. Also, it can be customized with all different colors. This messy bun puff stitch slouchy beanie version will be for an adult. I do have a regular version of this beanie here. This hat is worked in a spiral, so I use a stitch marker to mark the last stitch of the round. Let me know in the comment’s below or message me on Instagram if you want the pattern in a different size.
