Would you believe this bun beanie (AKA ponytail hat) is worked in only single crochet and chain stitches? Despite it’s simple construction, the “cabled” look of this beanie is sure to dress up even the messiest of messy buns. And the functional bottoms mean that you can pop this puppy on without pulling it over your perfectly tussled hair.

This bun beanie is worked flat with one skein of Lion Brand Lion’s Pride Woolspun.

This free pattern includes a video tutorial that teaches the simple cable technique.
