Take the messy bun hat craze to the extreme with some chunky yarn and an oversized crochet hook! Worked flat with just one row of decreases to pull in the top, this is one of the easiest hats you’ll ever make. Lace it up with some leather cording and you’re done!

A simple design and easy stitches makes this a great beginner’s project that can quickly be customized for a perfect fit. Enjoy!
