This fun ponytail hat knits up in a flash! It has buttons on the back so you can wear your ponytail (or bun) high, low, or in between. Just undo a button wherever you like to position your ponytail, or undo two buttons for a bun. Two sizes are included in the pattern.

Level of Difficulty: Beginner
Instructions are written out row by row. Seamless design means no sewing parts together and no picking up stitches. Buttonhole technique is explained step by step. Message me if you have questions!

Yarn selection: Aran weight yarn (gauge 16 sts to 4”/10 cm). This simple pattern is a great showcase for variegated and handpainted yarn, but is also fun with solids and tonals (especially if you choose some chic buttons!). You can even use thick-and-thin yarns, boucle, or other specialty yarns.

Needles: The pattern calls for US #9/ 5.5 mm needles, or size to obtain gauge, plus one size smaller. This hat is worked flat.

Pattern support: Designer email is included in the pattern in case you have questions.
